Asteroids' Size Distribution and Colors from HiTS
J. Peña, C. Fuentes, F. Förster +8
We report the observations of solar system objects during the 2015 campaign of the High cadence Transient Survey (HiTS). We found 5740 bodies (mostly Main Belt asteroids), 1203 of…
Fractional flow equations. A model for pressure deficit in an oil well
B. F. MartÃnez-Salgado, F. Alcántara-López, A. Torres-Hernandez +3
This article presents a novel system of flow equations that models the pressure deficit of a reservoir considered as a triple continuous medium formed by the rock matrix, vugular m…
The Geology and Geophysics of Kuiper Belt Object (486958) Arrokoth
J. R. Spencer, S. A. Stern, J. M. Moore +75
The Cold Classical Kuiper Belt, a class of small bodies in undisturbed orbits beyond Neptune, are primitive objects preserving information about Solar System formation. The New Hor…
The size distribution of Near Earth Objects larger than 10 meters
D. E. Trilling, F. Valdes, L. Allen +5
We analyzed data from the first year of a survey for Near Earth Objects (NEOs) that we are carrying out with the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the 4-meter Blanco telescope at the C…
Colors of Irregular Satellites of Saturn with DECam
J. Peña, C. Fuentes
We report g-r and r-i new colors for 21 Saturn Irregular Satellites, among them, 4 previously unreported. This is the highest number of Saturn Irregular satellites reported in a si…
Asteroids in the High cadence Transient Survey
J. Peña, C. Fuentes, F. Förster +11
We report on the serendipitous observations of Solar System objects imaged during the High cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) 2014 observation campaign. Data from this high cadence, w…
GRB 161219B / SN 2016jca: A low-redshift gamma-ray burst supernova powered by radioactive heating
Z. Cano, L. Izzo, A. de Ugarte Postigo +22
Since the first discovery of a broad-lined type Ic supernova (SN) with a long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) in 1998, fewer than fifty gamma-ray burst supernovae (GRB-SNe) have bee…
The NuSTAR Serendipitous Survey: Hunting for The Most Extreme Obscured AGN at >10 keV
G. B. Lansbury, D. M. Alexander, J. Aird +27
We identify sources with extremely hard X-ray spectra (i.e., with photon indices of Gamma<0.6 in the 13 sq. deg. NuSTAR serendipitous survey, to search for the most highly obscured…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) IV: Constraints on the shape distribution of bright TNOs
R. Strauss, D. E. Trilling, P. H. Bernardinelli +20
We present the methods and results from the discovery and photometric measurement of 26 bright (VR 24 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) during the first year (2019-20) of the DECa…
A large topographic feature on the surface of the trans-Neptunian object (307261) 2002 MS measured from stellar occultations
F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. L. Ortiz +201
This work aims at constraining the size, shape, and geometric albedo of the dwarf planet candidate 2002 MS4 through the analysis of nine stellar occultation events. Using multichor…
The NuSTAR Serendipitous Survey: The 40 month Catalog and the Properties of the Distant High Energy X-ray Source Population
G. B. Lansbury, D. Stern, J. Aird +35
We present the first full catalog and science results for the NuSTAR serendipitous survey. The catalog incorporates data taken during the first 40 months of NuSTAR operation, which…
