SPACEU SYMPOSIUM:
RHIANNON HICKS
ABSTRACT:
We present preliminary geometric albedos for 57 Jupiter-family comets (JFCs), 6 of which are derived from multiple epochs of observations. The current average albedo value from our investigation is 0.04 ± 0.008. We aim to create the largest ever database of albedos as a stepping-stone for investigating ensemble JFC surface evolution.
