3.13.23 The first refereed results from DART are now in press in Nature. I'm a co-author on Jian-Yang Li's paper about HST observations and Cristina Thomas's paper revealing the period change. Find out more here and stay tuned for the official publications.

2.4.23 MIDN 2/C Villa and I, along with UMD grad student Carrie Hold and collaborators from Lowell Observatory measured the rotation period of Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF. Our preliminary results are published here.
