Benjamin Proudfoot, Richard Nolthenius, Bryan J. Holler +5
Recent observations of a stellar occultation have revealed the presence of a previously undiscovered small satellite around Quaoar. Orbiting near Quaoar's unusual ring system, this…
Compositional characterisation of asteroid (84) Klio with JWST
Tania Le Pivert-Jolivet, Julia de León, Javier Licandro +8
The analysis of the composition of primitive Ccomplex asteroids is essential to understand the distribution of volatiles in the Solar System since its formation. Primitive low-a…
JWST occultation reveals unforeseen complexity in Chariklo's ring system
Pablo Santos-Sanz, Altair R. Gomes-Júnior, Bruno E. Morgado +25
Ring systems have been discovered around several small bodies in the outer Solar System through stellar occultations. While such measurements provide key information about ring geo…
Synchronous Rotation in the (120347) Salacia-Actaea System
Cameron Collyer, Estela Fernandez-Valenzuela, Jose Luis Ortiz +8
We report on roughly 16 years of photometric monitoring of the transneptunian binary system (120347) Salacia-Actaea which provides significant evidence that Salacia and Actaea are…
JWST/NIRSpec Observations of Salacia-Actaea and Máni: Exploring Population-level Trends among Water-ice-rich Kuiper Belt Objects
Ian Wong, Bryan J. Holler, Silvia Protopapa +9
We present observations of the midsized Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) SalaciaActaea and Máni, obtained with the Near-Infrared Spectrograph on JWST. The satellite Actaea was fully b…
The Roman Space Telescope as a Planetary Defense Asset
Bryan J. Holler, Richard G. Cosentino, William C. Schultz +5
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, slated to launch in October 2026, will serve a critical role in the characterization and threat assessment of near-Earth Objects (NEOs), t…
