Formation of C 3 and C 2 in cometary comae
Kometen sind Überreste aus der Entstehungszeit des Sonnensystems. Da sie sich weit entfernt von der Sonne befinden, vermutet man, dass die physikalischen und chemischen Bedingungen zu dieser Zeit in ihrem Eis konserviert sind. Der Hauptbestandteil des Eises ist H2O, gefolgt von CO, CO2 und Spuren …

The relationship between Centaur activity and ring formation
… may also provide evidence of activity, and dust comae have been detected around several bodies including Chiron (Meech & Belton, 1989; Luu & Jewitt, 1990) and Echeclus (Choi, Weissman, & Polishook, 2006). In addition to comae, other structures have been observed around Centaurs, such as the ring …

Decoding the history of the early solar system using comet volatile compositions
… analysis of fluorescence emission in cometary comae. Sampling fluorescence emission from a suite of primary volatiles has become possible from state-of-the-art ground-based observatories.</p><p>An overarching goal of comet volatile composition studies is determining whether comets can be …

Near-IR Spectroscopic Analysis of the Primary Volatile Composition of Long and Short-Period Comets
<p>"Comets are among the most well-preserved objects that formed in the protosolar nebula ∼4.5 Gyr ago. Hence, they are important for understanding various aspects of the formation, evolution, and habitability of the solar system. Multiple primary volatiles (molecules directly sublimating into the …
