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…

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…

Ground-based transit observations of the HAT-P-18, HAT-P-19, HAT-P-27/WASP-40 and WASP-21 systems

M. Seeliger, M. Kitze, R. Errmann +46

As part of our ongoing effort to investigate transit timing variations (TTVs) of known exoplanets, we monitored transits of the four exoplanets HAT-P-18b, HAT-P-19b, HAT-P-27b/WASP…

Observations of Comets C/2007 D1 (LINEAR), C/2007 D3 (LINEAR), C/2010 G3 (WISE), C/2010 S1 (LINEAR), and C/2012 K6 (McNaught) at large heliocentric distances

Oleksandra Ivanova, Luboš Neslušan, Zuzana Seman Krišandova +5

Photometric and spectroscopic observations of five nearly parabolic comets with eccentricity larger than 0.99 at heliocentric distances greater than 4 AU were performed. No molecul…

WASP-14 b: Transit Timing analysis of 19 light curves

St. Raetz, G. Maciejewski, M. Seeliger +11

Although WASP-14 b is one of the most massive and densest exoplanets on a tight and eccentric orbit, it has never been a target of photometric follow-up monitoring or dedicated obs…

Tables of phase functions, opacities, albedos, equilibrium temperatures, and radiative accelerations of dust grains in exoplanets

Jan Budaj, Miroslav Kocifaj, Raquel Salmeron +1

There has been growing observational evidence for the presence of condensates in the atmospheres and/or comet-like tails of extrasolar planets. As a result, systematic and homogene…

Link between the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (86039) 1999 NC43 and the Chelyabinsk meteoroid tenuous

Vishnu Reddy, David Vokrouhlický, William F. Bottke +15

We explored the statistical and compositional link between Chelyabinsk meteoroid and potentially hazardous asteroid (86039) 1999 NC43 to investigate their proposed relation propose…
