Cassini observations of the surface of Titan offer unprecedented views of its surface through atmospheric windows in the 1–5 μm region. Images obtained in windows for which the haze opacity is low...

CCD observatiions of asteroid 1998 SF36 (25143) (2004)

Lowry, S. C., Weissman, P. R., Hicks, M. D.

Talks of how asteroid 1998 SF36 (25143) is the target of the Japanese/NASA MUSES-C sample return mission.

Deep Space 1 photometry of the nucleus of Comet P/19 Borrelly (2004)

Buratti, B. J., Britt, D., Oberst, J., Soderblom, L. A., Hillier, J. K., Hicks, M. D.

The NASA-JPL Deep Space 1 Mission (DS1) encountered the short-period Jupiter-family comet 19/P Borrelly on September 22, 2001, about 8 days after perihelion. DS1's payload contained a remote-sensing...

Triton Blushes: A Clue to Global Warming? (2004)

Buratti, B. J., Hicks, M. D., Newburn, R. L. Jr.

The large Neptunian satellite Triton is a geologically active body that apparently undergoes complex seasonal changes in its 165 year journey around the sun. Because it is the vehicle for the...

Slowly rotating asteroid 1999 GU/sub 3 (2004)

Pravec, P., Sarounova, L., Benner, L. A. M., Ostro, S. J., Hicks, M. D., Jurgens, R. F., ...

Optical and radar observations reveal that 1999 GU3 is subkilometer-sized object with a synodic period of 9.0 days, low visual and radar albedos, and colors more consistent with the...

An update of the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking/Maui Space Surveillance System (NEAT/MSSS) collaboration (2004)
