Prior to the 1986 apparition of comet Halley, all attempts to determine the physical properties of cometary dust were limited to remote observations and the analysis of various particles captured by…
Polyaromatic Units Set the Albedo of Dark Extraterrestrial Materials
- Environmental Science, MathematicsThe Planetary Science Journal
- 2022
Primitive extraterrestrial materials are generally dark, a characteristic often associated with the presence of polyaromatic organic material and/or sulfides. We show in this study that the…

Contributions from Accreted Organics to Titan’s Atmosphere: New Insights from Cometary and Chondritic Data
- Physics, GeologyThe Astrophysical Journal
- 2019
Since its discovery in the first half of the 20th century, scientists have puzzled over the origins of Titan’s atmosphere. Current models suggest that atmospheric N2 on Titan may have originated from…
Mapping Circumstellar Matter with Polarized Light: The Case of Supernova 2014J in M82
- Physics, Geology
- 2018
Optical polarimetry is an effective way of probing the environment of a supernova for dust. We acquired linear HST ACS/WFC polarimetry in bands , , and of the supernova (SN) 2014J in M82 at six…
On the attempts to measure water (and other volatiles) directly at the surface of a comet
- Physics, GeologyPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
- 2017
It is shown how comets may in fact be heterogeneous over their surface, and how surface measurements can be used in a quest to comprehend the daily cycles of processes that affect the evolution of comets.

S2 - A clue to the origin of cometary ice?
- Physics, Geology
- 1985
S2 was recently discovered in Comet 1983d. It is argued that S2 is a parent molecule, resident in the ices of the cometary nucleus. If so, this requires that cometary ice have accreted directly from…
