Deep Impact & Spitzer : A Rosetta Stone for Comets and Asteroids in the Solar System and Around Other Stars Dr. Carey Lisse Johns Hopkins University -Applied Physics Laboratory
Summary • We have a new tool from the Deep Impact experiment, that allows us to understand the makeup of comets and asteroids, and to understand where and when comets and asteroids formed and evolved. • We have now successfully applied the tool to the ‘gold standard’ of comet studies, Comet Hale-Bopp, and 2 bright solar systems outside our own, the very young HD100546 and the mature star HD69830. • We have learned that Hale-Bopp formed much earlier than Tempel 1, and that the families of comets and asteroids around other stars form and behave in much the same way as they did in our own solar system.

SW1, SW3 : Much amorphous silicates, Mg-rich olivine. Only water gas for SW3, ice for SW1.

HD69830 (a mature star slightly redder and about the same age as the Sun, with at least 3 planets). B C Asteroidal Dust Belt Lisse et al. 2007 D - The dust around HD69830 is substantially different from that found for comet 9P/Tempel 1 or C/Hale-Bopp 1995 O1 and comet-dominated YSO HD100546. It lacks carbonaceous and ferrous materials but includes small icy grains.- The composition of the HD 69830 dust resembles that of a disrupted P or D-type asteroid. The amount of mass responsible for the observed emission is the equivalent of a 30 km radius asteroid.- The temperature of the dust implies that the bulk of the observed material is at ~1.0 AU from the central source, outside the outermost of 3 Neptune-sized planets detected by Lovis et al. (2006). - In our solar system, P and D-type asteroids are both large and numerous in the outer main belt and near Jupiter (e.g. the Hildas and Trojans).- Asteroids in our solar system have undergone similar major disruptive events to produce debris disk-like structures (e.g the Karin and Veritas families 5-8 Myrs ago).
Comparative IR Mineralogy of Young Stellar Objects HD100546 : Comet-like. Especially rich in Mg-rich olivine and amorphous pyroxene, water ice. We find the dust to be at ~13 AU, consistent with the inner disk cavity edge of Grady et al. 2005. HD113766: Mainly has Mg-rich olivine, Fe-rich sulfides, and xtal pyroxene. Little carbonates, clays, PAHs, or amorphous carbon present. Similar to S-type asteroid. NOT an older HD100546.

Comet Hale-Bopp : A huge comet formed near the giant planets, early in the solar systems history. & HD100546 (an infant giant star + forming solar system) - We find similar emission signatures due to silicates, carbonates, phyllosilicates, water ice, amorphous carbon, and sulfides in the two ISO-observed systems, Hale-Bopp and HD100546, but there are significant differences as well. - T1, HB, and Hd100546 all show substantial emission due to silicates (rock forming materials), water, PAHs (soot, exhaust) and metal sulfides (fool’s gold).There are some differences : compared to Tempel 1, no Fe-rich olivines and few crystalline pyroxenes are found in Hale-Bopp. The silicate and PAH material in Hale-Bopp is clearly less processed than in Tempel 1, indicating an earlier age of formation for Hale-Bopp. - The observed material around HD 100546 is located ~13 AU from the central source, and demonstrates an unusual composition due to either a very different, non-solar starting mix of silicates or due to disk material processing during formation of the interior disk cavity and planet(s) in the system.
