ABSTRACT NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) spacecraft has been brought
out of hibernation and has resumed surveying the sky at 3.4 and 4.6 μm. The scientific …

Images from the OSIRIS scientific imaging system onboard Rosetta show that the nucleus of
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko consists of two lobes connected by a short neck. The nucleus …

Context. Optical characterization of dust particles in cometary comae is based on a
comparison between observations and simulations of solar radiation scattered by cometary …

The detection of interstellar objects passing through the solar system offers the promise of
constraining the physical and chemical processes involved in planetary formation in other …

Abstract Comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) has a peculiar volatile composition, with CO
being the dominant volatile, as opposed to H 2 O, and one of the largest N 2/CO ratios ever …

This chapter explores how physical properties of cometary dust (size distribution,
composition, and grain structure) can be obtained from characteristics of the electromagnetic …

ABSTRACT The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observed 52 Centaurs and
scattered disk objects (SDOs) in the thermal infrared, including 15 new discoveries. We …

We present a compilation of all available colors for 104 Minor Bodies in the Outer Solar
System (MBOSSes); for each object, the original references are listed. The measurements …

We present 2–5 μm spectroscopic observations of the dust coma of 67P/Churyumov–
Gerasimenko obtained with the VIRTIS-H instrument onboard Rosetta during two outbursts …
