The Inner Debris Structure in the Fomalhaut Planetary System

Kate Y. L. Su, George H. Rieke, Denis Defrere +5

Fomalhaut plays an important role in the study of debris disks and small bodies in other planetary systems. The proximity and luminosity of the star make key features of its debris…

JWST observations of stellar occultations by solar system bodies and rings

P. Santos-Sanz, R. G. French, N. Pinilla-Alonso +14

In this paper we investigate the opportunities provided by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for significant scientific advances in the study of solar system bodies and rings u…

OSSOS II: A Sharp Transition in the Absolute Magnitude Distribution of the Kuiper Belt's Scattering Population

C. Shankman, J. J. Kavelaars, B. J. Gladman +8

We measure the absolute magnitude, , distribution, of the scattering Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) as a proxy for their size-frequency distribution. We…

Main-belt comets: sublimation-driven activity in the asteroid belt

Henry H. Hsieh

Our knowledge of main-belt comets (MBCs), which exhibit comet-like activity likely due to the sublimation of volatile ices, yet orbit in the main asteroid belt, has increased great…

The Outer Solar System Origins Survey: I. Design and First-Quarter Discoveries

Michele T. Bannister, J. J. Kavelaars, Jean-Marc Petit +36

We report the discovery, tracking and detection circumstances for 85 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) from the first 42 deg of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS). Th…

The Reactivation of Main-Belt Comet 324P/La Sagra (P/2010 R2)

Henry H. Hsieh, Scott S. Sheppard

We present observations using the Baade Magellan and Canada-France-Hawaii telescopes showing that main-belt comet 324P/La Sagra, formerly known as P/2010 R2, has become active agai…

Near-IR Polarized Scattered Light Imagery of the DoAr 28 Transitional Disk

Evan A. Rich, John P. Wisniewski, Satoshi Mayama +52

We present the first spatially resolved polarized scattered light H-band detection of the DoAr 28 transitional disk. Our two epochs of imagery detect the scattered light disk from…

A Search for Subkilometer-sized Ordinary Chondrite Like Asteroids in the Main-Belt

H. W. Lin, Fumi Yoshida, Y. T. Chen +2

The size-dependent effects of asteroids on surface regolith and collisional lifetimes suggest that small asteroids are younger than large asteroids. In this study, we performed mul…

ALMA Observations of Asteroid 3 Juno at 60 Kilometer Resolution

ALMA Partnership, T. R. Hunter, R. Kneissl +67

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 1.3 mm continuum images of the asteroid 3 Juno obtained with an angular resolution of 0.042 arcseconds (60 km at 1.97…

Discovery of a Disk Gap Candidate at 20 AU in TW Hydrae

E. Akiyama, T. Muto, N. Kusakabe +53

We present a new Subaru/HiCIAO high-contrast H-band polarized intensity (PI) image of a nearby transitional disk associated with TW Hydrae. The scattered light from the disk was de…

Sublimation-Driven Activity in Main-Belt Comet 313P/Gibbs

Henry H. Hsieh, Olivier Hainaut, Bojan Novakovic +15

We present an observational and dynamical study of newly discovered main-belt comet 313P/Gibbs. We find that the object is clearly active both in observations obtained in 2014 and…
