N-body simulations with Swiftest show that surface regolith ejected from ellipsoidal Centaurs can form captured proto-ring disks, with highest efficiency from equatorial avalanches.
New Gemini and JWST data show 450P/LONEOS has a 1.8 km nucleus, CO2 gas production of ~7e24 molec/s, water ice absorption, and activity consistent with CO2 release from crystallizing amorphous ice.
Reports asymmetric heliocentric activity slopes for 103P/Hartley 2 and exponential outburst decay plus flattening phase curves for Chiron from ATLAS, ZTF, and LCO photometry.
