Sodium Brightening of (3200) Phaethon near Perihelion
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Sunskirting asteroid (3200) Phaethon has been repeatedly observed in Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) Heliospheric Imager 1 (HI1) imagery to anomalously brighten and produce an antisunward tail for a few days near each perihelion passage,

Impact Rates in the Outer Solar System
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Previous studies of cometary impacts in the outer solar system used the spatial distribution of ecliptic comets (ECs) from dynamical models that assumed ECs began on low-inclination orbits (≲5°) in the Kuiper Belt.

FUV Observations of the Inner Coma of 46P/Wirtanen
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Far-ultraviolet observations of comets yield information about the energetic processes that dissociate the sublimated gases from their primitive surfaces.

Dust Properties of Comets Observed by Spitzer
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 As comets journey into the inner solar system, they deliver particulates and volatile gases into their comae that reveal the most primitive materials in the solar system.

Recombinant Forms of HIV-1 in the Last Decade of the Epidemic in the Russian Federation
Viruses, 2023 Currently, HIV-1 displays a substantial level of genetic diversity on a global scale, partly attributed to its recombinant variants. This study seeks to identify and analyze HIV-1 recombinants in Russia during the last decade of the epidemic.

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The tumultuous early era of outer solar system evolution culminated when Neptune migrated across the primordial Kuiper Belt (PKB) and triggered a dynamical instability among the giant planets.

Astronomical School’s Report, 2003 Three basic conceptions of origin of comets are under discussion. The first one belongs to Laplace who supposed that comets are becoming the members of the Solar system being captured by a giant planet, e.g. Jupiter. It is the hypothesis of capture. Oort supposed that there is a giant cloud of cometary nuclei at the heliocentric distance ∼105 AU.

Chinese Journal of Space Science, 1982 Abstract The fact that comets are rich in volatile material shows that they were formed and kept for a long time in the outer, low-temperature regions of the solar system. In this paper we analyse the structure in the outer edge of the solar nebula and show that no formation zone of comets can exist there. Our view is that the comets evolved from the

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1972 The evolution of the solar system is surveyed, it being presumed that the Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn formed rather quickly and essentially with the composition of the original collapsing cloud of dust and gas. Just as the refractory material of the cloud is considered to have formed into planetesimals, from which the terrestrial planets collected, so is ...
