Origin and evolution of NiI and FeI in the coma of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS throughout its trajectory
Damien Hutsemékers, Jean Manfroid, Cyrielle Opitom +8
We present high-resolution UVES+VLT observations of neutral nickel and iron atoms in the coma of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS taken after perihelion. Metal emission was strong s…
Ejecta Evolution Following a Planned Impact into an Asteroid: The First Five Weeks
Theodore Kareta, Cristina Thomas, Jian-Yang Li +85
The impact of the DART spacecraft into Dimorphos, moon of the asteroid Didymos, changed Dimorphos' orbit substantially, largely from the ejection of material. We present results fr…
Near to Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of (65803) Didymos as observed by JWST: Characterization Observations Supporting the Double Asteroid Redirection Test
Andrew S. Rivkin, Cristina A. Thomas, Ian Wong +17
The Didymos binary asteroid was the target of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, which intentionally impacted Dimorphos, the smaller member of the binary system.…
Ejecta from the DART-produced active asteroid Dimorphos
Jian-Yang Li, Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Tony L. Farnham +61
Some active asteroids have been proposed to be the result of impact events. Because active asteroids are generally discovered serendipitously only after their tail formation, the p…
CO2-driven surface changes in the Hapi region on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Björn J. R. Davidsson, F. Peter Schloerb, Sonia Fornasier +24
Between 2014 December 31 and 2015 March 17, the OSIRIS cameras on Rosetta documented the growth of a 140m wide and 0.5m deep depression in the Hapi region on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Ge…
The CUBES Science Case
Chris Evans, Stefano Cristiani, Cyrielle Opitom +51
We introduce the scientific motivations for the development of the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) that is now in construction for the Very Large Telescope. The as…
Determining the dust environment of an unknown comet for a spacecraft fly-by: The case of ESA's Comet Interceptor mission
Raphael Marschall, Vladimir Zakharov, Cecilia Tubiana +12
We present a statistical approach to assess the dust environment for a yet unknown comet (or when its parameters are known only with large uncertainty). This is of particular impor…
Diurnal variation of dust and gas production in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at the inbound equinox as seen by OSIRIS and VIRTIS-M on board Rosetta
C. Tubiana, G. Rinaldi, C. Güttler +53
On 27 Apr 2015, when 67P/C-G was at 1.76 au from the Sun and moving towards perihelion, the OSIRIS and VIRTIS-M instruments on Rosetta observed the evolving dust and gas coma durin…
Linking surface morphology, composition, and activity on the nucleus of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
S. Fornasier, V. H. Hoang, P. H. Hasselmann +37
The Rosetta space probe accompanied comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for more than two years, obtaining an unprecedented amount of unique data of the comet nucleus and inner coma. T…
Near-UV OH Prompt Emission in the Innermost Coma of 103P/Hartley 2
Fiorangela La Forgia, Dennis Bodewits, Michael F. A'Hearn +5
The Deep Impact spacecraft fly-by of comet 103P/Hartley 2 occurred on 2010 November 4, one week after perihelion with a closest approach (CA) distance of about 700 km. We used narr…
