Pre-perihelion monitoring of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov
The discovery of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov offered the unique opportunity to obtain a detailed analysis of an object coming from another planetary system...
Primitive materials preserved in meteorites and comets: clues on the stellar sources producing short-lived nuclides and presolar grains
Short-lived nuclides (SLNs) were incorporated to the solar nebula at the time of condensation of the first minerals from the vapor phase. The study of the...
Seismic studies of Jupiter at the time of SL-9 impacts.
This paper reports the seismic observations performed with three IR cameras, CAMIRAS, TIMMI and c10μ based respectively at the NOT, ESO 3.6-m and CFHT. Eight...
Size and albedo distributions of asteroids in cometary orbits using WISE data
Context. Determining whether asteroids in cometary orbits (ACOs) are dormant or extinct comets is relevant for understanding the end-states of comets and the...
Small bodies and big impacts: comets, asteroids, and the origin of water and organics on Earth
The role of asteroids and comet impacts on the origin of Earth’s water and organic molecules is reviewed. Earth is believed to have formed dry, and magma oceans...
Solar oscillations and the effect of a comet impact
If such external influences as the impact of a comet on the solar surface could destroy or mask the coherence of observed solar oscillations, the scope and...
