Projects

• P/2010 A2 asteroid collision confirmed by Rosetta/OSIRISCollaborative analysis of ESA Rosetta/OSIRIS observations and ground-based imaging that established P/2010 A2's comet-like dust trail as debris from a single asteroid collision in the main belt, rather than sustained cometary activity.
• SEPPCoN: Survey of the Ensemble Physical Properties of Cometary NucleiCollaborative observational programme investigating the physical and surface properties of Jupiter-family comet nuclei through thermal-infrared observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope and complementary ground-based visible-light measurements.
