Comet Hyakutake
Goal: simulate asymmetric gas distribution and
compare to HCN data assemble coherent picture of nucleus "split" and its
evolution
Methods: Computer models, visual and numerical
interpretation
-
Comet As-Yet-Undiscovered
Goal: test what we learned on Hyakutake and
Hale-Bopp in new observations
Methods: Observations, computer models, visual
and numerical interpretation
-
Comet OH observations
Goal: assess the degree of OH quenching in the
coma of each comet
Methods: data reduction and analysis, computer
modelling & interpretation
-
Asteroid belt /larger asteroids
Goal: understanding of physical properties of
the surface through heat-transfer models of asteroids
Methods: data analysis, computer models, numerical
computations, communication with collaborators
