James Bauer (astronomer)
James "Gerbs" Bauer (born 1968, Michigan, USA) is an American astronomer who studies comets and related bodies.[1] He was the first to quantify the seasonal surface changes on Neptune's moon Triton.[2] He also observed the aftermath of the Deep Impact probe's collision with comet Tempel 1.[3][4] Currently, he is the deputy PI of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission.[5] His analysis of the images of comet Hartley 2 taken by the WISE spacecraft revealed that the object was shedding mass.[6] The asteroid 16232 Chijagerbs is named after him and his wife, Chija Bauer. They have one daughter and one son.
