Postperihelion Coma Composition of the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS from Optical Spectroscopy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present multiepoch optical spectroscopy of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS obtained between 2025 December and 2026 January (heliocentric distances of 1.8–3.3 au), yielding postperihelion production rates and mixing ratios for CN, C _3 , C _2 , CH, and

Origin of comets [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical 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.

Singularities in mass-loaded MHD flow: The cometary bow shock [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
We present a one-dimensional model of the mass-loading of the solar wind by cometary ions which predicts a singularity in the mass-loaded flow at M = 2. Further, a subshock occurs when the flow speed reaches M almost-equal-to 1.15.

NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report on the observation and measurement of astrometry, photometry, morphology, and activity of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) with the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

The Origins of Comets

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1992
Do we live in astronomically disappointing times? Are the skies duller than they've been in the past‐comets less spectacular, meteors less frequent, and the zodiacal lights dimmer? Certainly as an amateur astronomer I have been haunted by that impression.

Status of the COMET experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The COMET experiment, currently under construction at J-PARC, is designed to search for the the neutrinoless flavour-changing charged-lepton process μ- + A → e- + A, which is a promising channel to look for new physics.

Far‐UV emissions from the SL9 impacts with Jupiter [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Observations with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) during the impacts of the fragments of comet D/Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter show far-UV emissions from the impact sites within a similar to 10 min time scale.
