Intro


John Noonan

Exploring the solar system’s formation with observations of some of the most pristine and complex objects we know of: comets

 

Current post-doctoral scholar at Auburn University, former graduate student at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. I’m interested in the small bodies of the solar system and what they can tell us about the formation conditions for the early building blocks of the planets.

I’m a member of the European Space Agency Rosetta Alice Ultraviolet Spectrograph team and the OSIRIS gas analysis team. I’m also on two teams that have used the Hubble Space Telescope to look at several comets, including 46P/Wirtanen, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, and the interstellar object 2I/Borisov.

You can find my former LPL student webpage here.
