The K2-HERMES Survey. I. Planet Candidate Properties from K2 Campaigns 1-3
Robert A. Wittenmyer, Sanjib Sharma, Dennis Stello +31
Accurate and precise radius estimates of transiting exoplanets are critical for understanding their compositions and formation mechanisms. To know the planet, we must know the host…
Col-OSSOS: Colors of the Interstellar Planetesimal 1I/`Oumuamua
Michele T. Bannister, Megan E. Schwamb, Wesley C. Fraser +10
The recent discovery by Pan-STARRS1 of 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua), on an unbound and hyperbolic orbit, offers a rare opportunity to explore the planetary formation processes of other s…
The complex morphology of the young disk MWC 758: Spirals and dust clumps around a large cavity
Y. Boehler, L. Ricci, E. Weaver +7
We present Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations at an angular resolution of 0.1-0.2" of the disk surrounding the young Herbig Ae star MWC 758. The data consist of ima…
The Pan-Pacific Planet Search VII: The most eccentric planet orbiting a giant star
Robert A. Wittenmyer, M. I. Jones, Jonathan Horner +9
Radial velocity observations from three instruments reveal the presence of a 4 M_jup planet candidate orbiting the K giant HD 76920. HD 76920b has an orbital eccentricity of 0.856$…
ALMA 1.3 Millimeter Map of the HD 95086 System
Kate Y. L. Su, Meredith A. Macgregor, Mark Booth +11
Planets and minor bodies such as asteroids, Kuiper-belt objects and comets are integral components of a planetary system. Interactions among them leave clues about the formation pr…
Details of Resonant Structures Within a Nice Model Kuiper Belt: Predictions for High-Perihelion TNO Detections
R. E. Pike, S. M. Lawler
We analyze a detailed Nice model simulation of Kuiper Belt emplacement from Brasser & Morbidelli (2013), where Neptune undergoes a high eccentricity phase and migrates outward. In…
The Castalia Mission to Main Belt Comet 133P/Elst-Pizarro
C. Snodgrass, G. H. Jones, H. Boehnhardt +41
We describe Castalia, a proposed mission to rendezvous with a Main Belt Comet (MBC), 133P/Elst-Pizarro. MBCs are a recently discovered population of apparently icy bodies within th…
Solar system science with the Wide-Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST)
B. J. Holler, S. N. Milam, J. M. Bauer +30
We present a community-led assessment of the solar system investigations achievable with NASA's next-generation space telescope, the Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST).…
Planet Four: Terrains - Discovery of Araneiforms Outside of the South Polar Layered Deposits
Megan E. Schwamb, Klaus-Michael Aye, Ganna Portyankina +7
We present the results of a systematic mapping of seasonally sculpted terrains on the South Polar region of Mars with the Planet Four: Terrains (P4T) online citizen science project…
Col-OSSOS: z Band Photometry Reveals Three Distinct TNO Surface Types
Rosemary E. Pike, Wesley C. Fraser, Megan E. Schwamb +11
Several different classes of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) have been identified based on their optical and near-infrared colors. As part of the Colours of the Outer Solar System O…
A thermodynamic view of dusty protoplanetary disks
Min-Kai Lin, Andrew N. Youdin
Small solids embedded in gaseous protoplanetary disks are subject to strong dust-gas friction. Consequently, tightly-coupled dust particles almost follow the gas flow. This near co…
Rotation of Cometary Nuclei: New Lightcurves and an Update of the Ensemble Properties of Jupiter-Family Comets
R. Kokotanekova, C. Snodgrass, P. Lacerda +6
We report new lightcurves and phase functions for nine Jupiter-family comets (JFCs). They were observed in the period 2004-2015 with various ground telescopes as part of the Survey…
OSSOS VI. Striking Biases in the detection of large semimajor axis Trans-Neptunian Objects
Cory Shankman, JJ Kavelaars, Michele Bannister +9
The accumulating, but small, set of large semi-major axis trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) shows an apparent clustering in the orientations of their orbits. This clustering must eith…
Searching for Moving Objects in HSC-SSP: Pipeline and Preliminary Results
Ying-Tung Chen, Hsing-Wen Lin, Mike Alexandersen +6
The Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) is currently the deepest wide- field survey in progress. The 8.2 m aperture of Subaru telescope is very powerful in detect-…
All planetesimals born near the Kuiper Belt formed as binaries
Wesley C. Fraser, Michele t. Bannister, Rosemary E. Pike +19
The cold classical Kuiper belt objects have low inclinations and eccentricities and are the only Kuiper belt population suspected to have formed in situ. Compared with the dynamica…
Multi-band Photometry of Trans-Neptunian Objects in the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey
Tsuyoshi Terai, Fumi Yoshida, Keiji Ohtsuki +7
We present a visible multi-band photometry of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) observed by the Subaru Telescope in the framework of Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SS…
The shadow knows: using shadows to investigate the structure of the pretransitional disk of HD 100453
Zachary C. Long, Rachel B. Fernandes, Michael Sitko +16
We present GPI polarized intensity imagery of HD 100453 in Y-, J-, and K1 bands which reveals an inner gap ( au), an outer disk ( au) with two prominent spiral arms,…
OSSOS: V. Diffusion in the orbit of a high-perihelion distant Solar System object
Michele T. Bannister, Cory Shankman, Kathryn Volk +12
We report the discovery of the minor planet 2013 SY, on an exceptionally distant, highly eccentric orbit. With a perihelion of 50.0 au, 2013 SY's orbit has a semi-maj…
