Title:
The origins of Centaur objects and the main belt comet 133P/Elst-Pizarro
Project Description:
We study the surface albedo distribution of objects resembling both comets and minor planets and search for outgassing events. While surface albedo is strongly linked to the origin, age, evolutionary history and location of these small bodies of the Solar System, outgassing events will confirm if there is still volatile material on their surface.
