The international Rosetta mission was launched in 2004 and consists of the orbiter
spacecraft Rosetta and the lander Philae. The aim of the mission is to map the comet …

This review addresses our current understanding of comets that venture close to the Sun,
and are hence exposed to much more extreme conditions than comets that are typically …

Over the past three decades, we have witnessed one of the great revolutions in our
understanding of the cosmos—the dawn of the Exoplanet Era. Where once we knew of just …

We present an update to the first white-light detections of a dust trail observed closely
following the orbit of asteroid (3200) Phaethon, as seen by the Wide-field Imager for the …

Abstract The National Science Foundation's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) will
revolutionize our ability to measure, understand, and model the basic physical processes …

Exocomets are small bodies releasing gas and dust which orbit stars other than the Sun.
Their existence was first inferred from the detection of variable absorption features in stellar …

The zodiacal cloud is one of the largest structures in the solar system and strongly governed
by meteoroid collisions near the Sun. Collisional erosion occurs throughout the zodiacal …

Sunskirting asteroid (3200) Phaethon has been repeatedly observed in Solar Terrestrial
Relations Observatory (STEREO) Heliospheric Imager 1 (HI1) imagery to anomalously …

Anisotropic outgassing from comets exerts a torque sufficient to rapidly change the angular
momentum of the nucleus, potentially leading to rotational instability. Here, we use empirical …

We present the identification and preliminary analysis of a dust trail following the orbit of
(3200) Phaethon as seen in white-light images recorded by the Wide-field Imager for Parker …
