主带彗星259 P/Garraddd的彗核

The Nucleus of Main-Belt Comet 259P/Garradd

Eric MacLennan, Henry Hsieh

摘要:

我们目前的观测主带彗星259 P/Garradd,以前被称为P/2008 R1(Garradd),在2011年和2012年获得使用双子座北望远镜莫纳克亚在夏威夷,和SOAR望远镜在Cerro Pachon在智利,计算对象的相函数和核大小的目标。我们发现一个绝对星等为$H_R=19.71\pm0.05$ mag和斜率参数为$G_R=-0.08\pm0.05$的不活跃的核,对应于一个有效的核半径为$r_e=0.30\pm0.02$公里,假设一个$R$带的偏振度为$p_R=0.05$。我们还重新审视了259 P在2008年活跃时的观测报告,以量化尘埃质量损失,并将该天体与其他已知的主带彗星进行比较。

英文摘要:

We present observations of the main-belt comet 259P/Garradd, previously known as P/2008 R1 (Garradd), obtained in 2011 and 2012 using the Gemini North Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, and the SOAR Telescope at Cerro Pachon in Chile, with the goal of computing the object's phase function and nucleus size. We find an absolute magnitude of $H_R=19.71\pm0.05$ mag and slope parameter of $G_R=-0.08\pm0.05$ for the inactive nucleus, corresponding to an effective nucleus radius of $r_e=0.30\pm0.02$ km, assuming an $R$-band albedo of $p_R=0.05$. We also revisit observations reported for 259P while it was active in 2008 to quantify the dust mass loss and compare the object with other known main-belt comets.
