The Outburst of Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann on 2020 February 4th
We observed the 2020 February 4th outburst of the Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann, using the James Gregory Telescope in St Andrews/UK. The brightness of the comet increased by ~3 mag in VRI within…
Dust Production from Mini Outbursts of Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1
Here we report on the results of observations of comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 obtained using four telescopes, in three different countries, from 2019 September 25 to 2020 January 19. During the…
Monitoring the negative polarization in Comet 29P/Schwassmann–Wachmann during quiescence
Contemporaneous Multiwavelength and Precovery Observations of the Active Centaur P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS)
The Gateway Centaur and Jupiter co-orbital P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS) provides the first opportunity to observe the migration of a solar system small body from a Centaur orbit to a Jupiter Family Comet (JFC)…
An Extremely Temporary Co-orbital: The Dynamical State of Active Centaur 2019 LD2
We investigate the recent and future orbital evolution of the solar system small body 2019 LD2 (hereafter "LD2"), which was recently found to show cometary activity. While LD2's orbit initially looks…
Some physical properties of a new Jupiter-family comet P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS) from broadband observations
Analysis of HST WFPC2 Observations of Centaur 29P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 1 while in Outburst to Place Constraints on the Nucleus’ Rotation State
We present analysis of {\it Hubble Space Telescope} (HST) observations of Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 (SW1) while in outburst to characterize the outburst coma and place constraints on the…
CO Gas and Dust Outbursts from Centaur 29P/Schwassmann–Wachmann
29P/Schwassmann Wachmann is an unusual solar system object. Originally classified as a short-period comet, it is now known as a Centaur that recently transferred to its current orbit, and may become…
Physical Characterization of the 2017 December Outburst of the Centaur 174P/Echeclus
The Centaurs are the small solar system bodies intermediate between the active inner solar system Jupiter Family Comets and their inactive progenitors in the trans-Neptunian region. Among the…
Activity of the Jupiter co-orbital comet P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS) observed with OSIRIS at the 10.4 m GTC
Context. The existence of comets with heliocentric orbital periods close to that of Jupiter (i.e., co-orbitals) has been known for some time. Comet 295P/LINEAR (2002 AR2) is a well-known…

Mapping the carbon monoxide coma of comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1
Context. CO is assumed to be the main driver behind the activity of comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1, which resides in a nearcircular orbit at 6 AU from the Sun. Several properties of the outgassing…
The Activity of Comet 29P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 1 Monitored through Its CO J=2→1 Radio Line☆
Abstract The 230-GHz emission from CO was observed on 18 different days between 4 December 1996 and 1 January 1997 with the 15-m SEST antenna pointed toward Comet 29P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 1. The CO…
Carbon Monoxide Outgassing from Comet P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1
Abstract We observed the J (2-1) and (1-0) lines of CO in Comet P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 with high spectral resolution at four different epochs. The line profile is dominated by a very narrow (0.14…
Comet P/2010 TO20 LINEAR-Grauer as a Mini-29P/SW1
Discovered in October 2010 by the LINEAR survey, P/2010 TO20 LINEAR-Grauer (LG) was initially classified as an inert Jupiter Trojan. Subsequent observations obtained in October 2011 revealed LG to be…
Ground-Based Infrared Detections of CO in the Centaur-comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 at 6.26 AU from the Sun
We observed Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 (hereafter, 29P) in 2012 February and May with CRIRES/VLT and NIRSPEC/Keck-II, when the comet was at 6.26 AU from the Sun and about 5.50 AU from Earth.…
Water Production of Comet C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) Observed with the SWAN Instrument
The SWAN (Solar Wind ANisotropies) Lyman-alpha all-sky camera on the SOHO spacecraft observed the hydrogen coma of comet C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) from the end of May through mid-August 2000. A systematic…
Constraints on cometary surface evolution derived from a statistical analysis of 67P’s topography
We present a statistical analysis of the distribution of large-scale topographic features on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We observe that the cumulative cliff height distribution across the sur…

On the rate at which comets split
Abstract We use time-resolved charge-coupled device (CCD) images to assess the frequency of splitting of comets. When blinked on a computer, the CCD images provide relatively high and uniform…
