2006 Fragmentation of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3B observed with Subaru/Suprime-Cam

TL;DR: Using the Hubble Space Telescope, this article found that the main-belt asteroid P/2013 R3 consists of 10 or more distinct components, the largest up to 200 m in radius (assumed geometric albedo of 0.05) each of which produces a coma and comet-like dust tail.

TL;DR: The Taurid Complex appears to be the debris of this erstwhile comet; it includes at least 19 of the brightest near-Earth objects and may present the greatest regional impact hazard on time-scales of human concern.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present initial time-resolved observations of the split comet 332P/Ikeya-Murakami taken using the Hubble Space Telescope, revealing a dust-bathed cluster of fragments receding from their parent nucleus at projected speeds in the range 0.06-3.5 m s−1 from which they estimate ejection times from 2015 October to December.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) to observe the 5-37 μm thermal emission of comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 (SW3), components B and C.

TL;DR: In this article, the Johnson-Cousins photometric system of 526 stars centered on the celestial equator has been studied and the program stars within a 298 number subset have sufficient measures so that they are capable of providing, for telescopes of intermediate and large size in both hemispheres, an internally consistent homogeneous broadband standard photometric systems around the sky.

TL;DR: In this paper, an expression for the effects of radiation pressure and Poynting-Robertson drag on small, spherical particles using the energy and momentum transformation laws of special relativity is derived.

TL;DR: In this article, an integro-differential equation describing the evolution of a system of particles undergoing inelastic collisions and fragmentation is derived and solved for steady-state conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, an 80-mega pixels (10240 × 8192) mosaic CCD camera, called Suprime-Cam, was built for the wide-field prime focus of the 8.2m Subaru telescope.
