Potential Themis-family Asteroid Contribution to the Jupiter-family Comet Population [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2020 Recent dynamical analyses suggest that some Jupiter family comets (JFCs) may originate in the main asteroid belt instead of the outer solar system. This possibility is particularly interesting given evidence that icy main-belt objects are known to be ...

Buried Ice Deposits in Lunar Polar Cold Traps Were Disrupted by Ballistic Sedimentation
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 128, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract The NASA Artemis program will send humans to the lunar south polar region, in part to investigate the availability of water ice and other in situ resources. While trace amounts of ice have been detected at the surface of polar permanently shadowed regions (PSRs), recent studies suggest that large ice deposits could be stable below cold traps ...

Quantifying the Hypervolatile Abundances in Jupiter-family Comet 46P/Wirtanen
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 We present analysis of IR and optical spectroscopy of Jupiter-family comet (JFC) 46P/Wirtanen obtained in 2019 January, when the comet had sufficient geocentric velocity to enable studies of the hypervolatiles CO and CH4, as well as [O i] emission. These

Space in 150 years: From fantasy through fiction to fact and function [PDF]
, 2015 In the last century and a half, space has moved from the realm of fantasy to everyday reality. In parallel, the way space has been regarded by the person in the street and the ideas of what access to space might be used for have evolved extraordinarily.

James van Allen and his namesake NASA mission [PDF]
, 2013 In many ways, James A. Van Allen defined and “invented” modern space research. His example showed the way for government-university partners to pursue basic research that also served important national and international goals.
