On the Roles of Escape Erosion and the Relaxation of Craters on Pluto
S. Alan Stern, Simon Porter, Amanda Zangari
Pluto and its satellites will be the most distant objects ever reconnoitered when NASA's New Horizons spacecraft conducts its intensive flyby of this system in 2015. The size-frequ…
KCTF Evolution of Trans-Neptunian Binaries: Connecting Formation to Observation
Simon Porter, William Grundy
Recent observational surveys of trans-neptunian binary (TNB) systems have dramatically increased the number of known mutual orbits. Our Kozai Cycle Tidal Friction (KCTF) simulation…
Kilometre-scale Jovian moon characterized for a potential JUICE flyby
Juan Luis Rizos, Jose Maria Gomez-Limon, Yucel Kilic +51
The paper presents new observations of Jupiter’s irregular moon Kallichore, using Hubble, ground‑based telescopes and stellar occultations to refine its orbit, size, shape and surf…
Ejecta Transfer in the Pluto System
Simon Porter, William Grundy
The small satellites of the Pluto system (Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra) have very low surface escape velocities, and impacts should therefore eject a large amount of material fro…
Measuring Research Information Citizenship Across ORCID Practice
Simon Porter
Over the past 10 years stakeholders across the scholarly communications community have invested significantly not only to increase the adoption of ORCID adoption by researchers, bu…
Tracking the Activity of the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS through its Perihelion
T. Marshall Eubanks, Craig E. DeForest, Kevin J. Walsh +10
In order to facilitate interplanetary spacecraft observationsof 3I/ATLAS, we have monitored and predicted the optical properties of its coma using both ground and space-based obser…
