I. Report on Research

Major accomplishments in 2018:

1. Mission i. Continued to lead the Photometric Working Group in Dawn Science Team ii. Lead the planning of ToO observations of Ceres water vapor search to be triggered by solar energetic particle event. No observations was triggered, though. iii. Completed the spectrophotometric analysis and mapping of Ceres with Dawn Framing Camera data. The results are accepted for publication in Icarus. 2. Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of Ceres to characterize possible water reservoirs (NASA Solar System Observation research grant) i. Continue the data analysis of all three epochs of observations in Cycles 3-5. ii. Started to prepare a publication to report the integrated thermal lightcurves of Ceres at 1.2 mm, as well as the (negative) results of HCN search. 3. OSIRIS-REx Mission i. Continue to lead the work in the preparation of photometric analysis during the proximity operations for Bennu ii. Participated in the data analysis from Approach and Preliminary Survey phases, and the preparation of the first set of Nature papers planned to be published in March 2019. 4. 46P/Wirtanen observations i. Lead the planning of HST imaging program to observe 46P during its close approach to in mid-December. The observations were successfully performed. ii. Lead the planning of HST spectroscopic program to observe 46P in January 2019. 5. Obtained 3 new research grants, published or submitted 7 co-authored papers and 19 conference abstracts, led or participated in a total of 9 proposals for new grants and/or telescope times
