That’s the Way the Comet Crumbles: Splitting Jupiter-Family Comets
Our current understanding of split, Jupiter-family comets is reviewed. The focus is on what recent studies of comets have told us about the nature of the splitting phenomenon. The goal is to not repeat the information given in recent reviews of split comets, but to build upon it. In particular, we discuss comets that have suffered splitting or fragmentation events in the past few years. These i...
متن کاملThe size distribution of Jupiter Family comet nuclei
We present an updated cumulative size distribution (CSD) for Jupiter Family comet (JFC) nuclei, including a rigourous assessment of the uncertainty on the slope of the CSD. The CSD is expressed as a power law, N(> rN) ∝ r −q N , where rN is the radius of the nuclei and q is the slope. We include a large number of optical observations published by ourselves and others since the comprehensive rev...
متن کاملDepleted Carbon Monoxide in Fragment C of the Jupiter-family Comet 73p/schwassmann-wachmann 3
Carbon monoxide emission was targeted in fragment C of the recently split Jupiter-family comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 during its 2006 apparition, using the Cryogenic Echelle Spectrograph (CSHELL) at the NASA IRTF on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Simultaneous sounding with H2O near 4.65 mm revealed highly depleted CO, consistent with a mixing ratio of 0.5% 0.13%. Along with depleted CH3OH but nearly no...
متن کاملCometary science. 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, a Jupiter family comet with a high D/H ratio.
The provenance of water and organic compounds on Earth and other terrestrial planets has been discussed for a long time without reaching a consensus. One of the best means to distinguish between different scenarios is by determining the deuterium-to-hydrogen (D/H) ratios in the reservoirs for comets and Earth's oceans. Here, we report the direct in situ measurement of the D/H ratio in the Jupit...
متن کاملCarbon Monoxide in Jupiter after Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9
for roughly half the mass. In high-temperature shocks, most of the O is converted to CO (Zahnle and MacLow Observations of the carbon monoxide fundamental vibration–rotation band near 4.7 mm before and after the impacts 1995), making CO one of the more abundant products of of the fragments of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 showed no dea large impact. tectable changes in the R5 and R7 lines, with one po...
