Linear Continuum Modelling to Explain The Majority of Bulk Features of Kuiper Belt Object Spectra
Wesley C. Fraser, Laura E. Buchanan, Ian Wong +2
The first analyses of the James Webb Space Telescope spectra of trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) revealed three discrete types of surfaces. This seems to contradict ground-based spec…
Col-OSSOS: Investigating the Origins of Different Surfaces in the Primordial Kuiper Belt
Laura E. Buchanan, Megan E. Schwamb, Wesley C. Fraser +12
The Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (Col-OSSOS) measured the optical/NIR colours of a brightness-complete sample of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs). Like previous s…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario Jurić +305
We report on the observation and measurement of astrometry, photometry, morphology, and activityof the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) with the NSF-…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Near-Earth Objects, Main Belt Asteroids, Jupiter Trojans, and Trans-Neptunian Objects
Jacob A. Kurlander, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Megan E. Schwamb +18
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a new 8m-class survey facility presently being commissioned in Chile, expected to begin the 10yr-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST…
Establishing Earth's Minimoon Population through Characterization of Asteroid 2020 CD
Grigori Fedorets, Marco Micheli, Robert Jedicke +20
We report on our detailed characterization of Earth's second known temporary natural satellite, or minimoon, asteroid 2020 CD3. An artificial origin can be ruled out based on its a…
OSSOS XX: The Meaning of Kuiper Belt Colors
David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Mike Alexandersen +9
Observations show that 100-km-class Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) can be divided in (at least) two color groups, hereafter red (R, g-i<1.2) and very red (VR, g-i>1.2), reflecting a di…
