- The Strange Case of 133P/Elst-Pizarro: A Comet among the Asteroids (2004, methodology): “The average color of a sample of 12 well-measured cometary nuclei was determined by Jewitt (2002) to be V R = 0.45 0.02, with minimum and maximum values V R = 0.31 0.02 and V R = 0.58 0.02, respectively.”
- THE ACTIVE ASTEROIDS (2011, methodology): “For example, the timescale for formation of a rubble mantle on a kilometer-scale body at 3 AU is estimated from a simple model (Figure 4 of Jewitt 2002) at ∼1 yr, increasing to 10 yr at 4 AU.”
- Organic molecules in protoplanetary disks around T Tauri and Herbig Ae stars (2004, background): “The chemical composition of Kuiper Belt Objects is not well known (see Jewitt & Luu 2000), although observations show that comet nuclei and Kuiper Belt Objects have different surface compositions (Luu & Jewitt 2002; Jewitt 2002).”
- SDSS-based taxonomic classification and orbital distribution of main belt asteroids (2010, background): “Also, spectra similar to both classes can be seen among TNOs and comet nuclei (Jewitt 2002), so that volatile and organic rich compositions are also a possibility.”
- GROND—a 7-Channel Imager (2008, background): “…surveys for high-z active galactic nuclei, or identifying brown dwarfs; (8) followup observations of transiting extrasolar planets (Jha et al. 2000); or (9) mapping of reflectance of solar system bodies as a function of their rotation to map their surface chemical composition (Jewitt 2002).”
- Irregular Satellites of the Planets: Products of Capture in the Early Solar System (2007, background): “The ultrared matter is not found in the smallbody populations of the inner solar system, perhaps as a result of its ejection or burial by sublimation-driven outgassing (Jewitt 2002).”
