The water ice rich surface of (145453) 2005 RR43: a case for a carbon-depleted population of TNOs?
N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Licandro, R. Gil-Hutton +1
Recent results suggest that there is a group of TNOs (2003 EL61 being the biggest member), with surfaces composed of almost pure water ice and with very similar orbital elements. W…
Study of the Surface of 2003 EL61: the largest carbon-depleted object in the trans-neptunian belt
N. Pinilla-ALonso, R. Brunetto, J. Licandro +3
2003 EL61 is the largest member of a group of TNOs with similar orbits and 'unique' spectra (neutral slope in the visible and the deepest water ice absorption bands ever observed i…
The first confirmation of V-type asteroids among the Mars crosser population
A. O. Ribeiro, F. Roig, M. Cañada-Assandri +4
The Mars crossing region constitutes a path to deliver asteroids from the Inner Main Belt to the Earth crossing space. While both the Inner Main Belt and the population of Earth cr…
A mid-term astrometric and photometric study of Trans-Neptunian Object (90482) Orcus
J. L. Ortiz, A. Cikota, S. Cikota +7
From CCD observations of a fixed and large star field that contained the binary TNO Orcus, we have been able to derive high-precision relative astrometry and photometry of the Orcu…
The population of Comet candidates among quasi-Hilda objects revisited and updated
J. Correa-Otto, E. Garcia-Migani, R. Gil-Hutton
In this paper, we perform a dynamical study of the population of objects in the unstable quasi-Hilda region. The aim of this work is to make an update of the population of quasi-Hi…
The trans-Neptunian object (84922) 2003 VS2 through stellar occultations
Gustavo Benedetti-Rossi, P. Santos-Sanz, J. L. Ortiz +50
We present results from three world-wide campaigns that resulted in the detections of two single-chord and one multi-chord stellar occultations by the Plutino object (84922) 2003~V…
