Infrared Compositional Measurements in Comet C/2017 K2 (Pan-STARRS) at Heliocentric Distances Beyond 2.3 au

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Comet C/2017 K2 (Pan-STARRS) provided a rare opportunity to investigate the evolution of coma composition and outgassing patterns over a transitional heliocentric distance ( R _h ) range where activity drivers in comets are thought to change from ...

Baroclinic Vortex Generation by a Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 Impact

open access: yes, 1997
"Impact of Shoemaker-Levy 9 caused various changes on Jupiter. One of them is the comet impact sites left on the surface of Jupiter. These impact sites were very stable and long-1ived, which is a mystery worthy for detailed investigation.

On the Early Thermal Processing of Planetesimals during and after the Giant Planet Instability

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Born as ice-rich planetesimals, cometary nuclei were gravitationally scattered onto their current orbits in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud during the giant planets’ dynamical instability in the early stages of our solar system’s history.

The Ice Chemistry in Comets and Planet-forming Disks: Statistical Comparison of CH3OH, H2CO, and NH3 Abundance Ratios

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Comets are frozen remnants of our solar system’s formation, and comparing their chemical composition to that of planet-forming systems can reveal crucial insights about our origins, potentially answering one of the most challenging questions in planetary

The Extreme Activity in Comet Hale–Bopp (C/1995 O1): Investigations of Extensive Narrowband Photoelectric Photometry

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Conventional narrowband photoelectric photometry of Comet Hale–Bopp (1995 O1) was obtained on 99 nights from mid-1995 to early-2000, yielding gas and dust production rates over an unprecedented range of time and distance. The appearance of Hale–Bopp (H-B)

The Cosmic Sulfur Depletion Problem Extends to Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Constraining the sulfur reservoirs of interstellar objects provides essential clues to the nature of sulfur species in protoplanetary disks and interstellar molecular clouds and a potential solution to the cosmic sulfur depletion problem. Observations of

Water isotopes and hydronium in the evolving coma of 67P

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Cometary isotopes preserve key information about the early Solar System and its presolar heritage. Rosetta’s long-term in situ observations of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko offered the first opportunity to examine isotopic variability within a

Coma Volatile Composition and Thermal Physics in Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) Measured near Closest Approach to Earth with NASA-IRTF

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The 2023 perihelion passage of comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) afforded an opportunity to measure the abundances and spatial distributions of coma volatiles in an Oort cloud comet at high spatial resolution near its close approach to Earth ( ${{\rm{\Delta }}}_ ...
