The First Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov – Teddy Kareta
Please join planetary scientist Kat Volk (LPL), and Teddy Kareta (LPL) as they tell us about how a specific centaur could explain how solar system comets are born, and about the first interstellar comet to have been discovered. Dr. Kat Volk is a staff scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory researching Kuiper Belt Object, planetary dynamics, and exoplanet, especially in modeling orbital dynamics. Teddy Kareta is a PhD candidate also at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory studying the life cycle of comets using primarily imaging and spectroscopic observations.
