Arxiv:2005.12932V1 [Astro-Ph.EP] 26 May 2020 with Eccentricity, E = 1.2, ‘Oumuamua Encountered the Solar System with V∞ = 26 Km S
Draft version May 28, 2020 Typeset using LATEX default style in AASTeX63 Evidence that 1I/2017 U1 (Òumuamua) was composed of molecular hydrogen ice. Darryl Seligman1 and Gregory Laughlin2 1 Dept. of the Geophysical Sciences, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637 2Dept. of Astronomy, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06517 (Received April 14, 2020; Revised May 22, 2020; Accepted May 28, 2020) Submitted to ApJL ABSTRACT Òumuamua (I1 2017) was the first macroscopic (l ∼ 100 m) body observed to traverse the inner solar system on an unbound hyperbolic orbit. Its light curve displayed strong periodic variation, and it showed no hint of a coma or emission from molecular outgassing. Astrometric measurements indicate that 'Oumuamua experienced non-gravitational acceleration on its outbound trajectory, but energy balance arguments indicate this acceleration is inconsistent with a water ice sublimation-driven jet of the type exhibited by solar system comets. We show that all of Òumaumua's observed properties can be explained if it contained a significant fraction of molecular hydrogen (H2) ice. H2 sublimation at a rate proportional to the incident solar flux generates a surface-covering jet that reproduces the observed acceleration. Mass wasting from sublimation leads to monotonic increase in the body axis ratio, explaining Òumuamua's shape. Back-tracing Òumuamua's trajectory through the Solar System permits calculation of its mass and aspect ratio prior to encountering the Sun. We show that H2-rich bodies plausibly form in the coldest dense cores of Giant Molecular Clouds, where number densities are of order n ∼ 105, and temperatures approach the T = 3 K background.

Report on Czech COSPAR-Related Activities in 2019
Report on Czech COSPAR-related activities in 2019 This report summarizes selected results of five Czech institutions represented in the Czech National Committee of COSPAR, namely the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS), the Astronomical Institute (AI) of CAS, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University (FMP CU), BBT - Materials Processing, and the Czech Space Office. Both selected scientific results and Czech participation in space experiments are reported. There are also significant outreach/PR activities. Participation in space experiments Solar Orbiter (AI CAS, IAP CAS, FMP CU, IPP CAS - TOPTEC) The Solar Orbiter (SOLO) satellite, project ESA-NASA, was successfully launched from Florida on February 10, 2020 at 05:03 CET. Czech institutions have been participating in four out of ten scientific instruments on board of SOLO (STIX, Metis, RPW, and SWA/PAS). Czech commitment to the STIX (remote sensing X-ray telescope led by Switzerland) instrument was fully accomplished. Figure: STIX telescope Another instrument on board the Solar Orbiter is the coronagraph Metis led by Italian PI, with Germany and Czech Republic as Co-PIs. Metis will observe the solar corona in UV in the hydrogen Lyman- line and simultaneously in the visible light. The main optics (two mirrors) were designed and manufactured in the Czech Republic by TOPTEC (section of the Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP) of CAS). The third instrument called RPW (Radio and Plasma Waves) has PI in France, with participation of the AI and IAP CAS. The team at IAP CAS developed and delivered the Time Domain Sampler (TDS) subsystem which will characterize the processes of beam-plasma interactions responsible for generation of Langmuir waves and their conversion to radio emissions.

PAC Chair, Dr. Anne Verbiscer, welcomed everyone to the virtual meeting. Announcements were made around the table and on Webex. PSD Status Report Dr. Lori Glaze, Director of the Planetary Science Division, gave a status report. First addressing the President’s Budget Request (PBR) for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) for the Science Mission Directorate (SMD), Dr. Glaze noted that it was one of the strongest science budgets in NASA history, representing a 12% increase over the enacted FY20 budget. The total PBR keeps NASA on track to land on the Moon by 2024; and to help prepare for human exploration at Mars.

In June 2019, the multi-spacecraft project Comet Interceptor was selected by the European Space Agency, ESA, as its next planetary mission, and the first in its new class of Fast (F) projects [Snodgrass, C. and Jones, G. (2019) Nature Comms. 10, 5418]. The Japanese space agency, JAXA, will make a major contribution to Comet Interceptor. The mission’s primary science goal is to characterise, for the first time, a yet-to-be-discovered long- period comet (LPC), preferably one which is dynamically new, or an interstellar object. An encounter with a comet approaching the Sun for the first time will provide valuable data to complement that from all previous comet missions, which visited short period comets that have evolved over many close approaches to the Sun. The surface of Comet Interceptor’s LPC target will be being heated to temperatures above the its constituent ices’ sublimation point for the first time since its formation.
