An Infrared High Proper Motion Survey Using 2MASS and SDSS: Discovery of M, L and T Dwarfs
Scott S. Sheppard, Michael C. Cushing
A search of the Two Micron All Sky Survey and Sloan Digital Sky Survey reveals 36 previously unknown high proper motion objects with J<17. Their red-optical colors indicate that 27…
Light Curves of Dwarf Plutonian Planets and other Large Kuiper Belt Objects: Their Rotations, Phase Functions and Absolute Magnitudes
Scott S. Sheppard
(Abridged) I report new light curves and determine the rotations and phase functions of several large Kuiper Belt objects, including the dwarf planet Eris (2003 UB313). (120348) 20…
Outer irregular satellites of the planets and their relationship with asteroids, comets and Kuiper Belt objects
Scott S. Sheppard
Outer satellites of the planets have distant, eccentric orbits that can be highly inclined or even retrograde relative to the equatorial planes of their planets. These irregular or…
A Survey for "Normal" Irregular Satellites Around Neptune: Limits to Completeness
Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt, Jan Kleyna
We surveyed 1.75 square degrees of sky near Neptune to an R-band 50% detection efficiency of 25.8 mags (corresponding to radii of about 17 km for an assumed albedo of 0.04). We dis…
Ultra Deep Survey for Irregular Satellites of Uranus: Limits to Completeness
Scott S. Sheppard, David Jewitt, Jan Kleyna
We present a deep optical survey of Uranus' Hill sphere for small satellites. The Subaru 8-m telescope was used to survey about 3.5 square degrees with a 50% detection efficiency a…
A Survey for Outer Satellites of Mars: Limits to Completeness
Scott S. Sheppard, David Jewitt, Jan Kleyna
We surveyed the Hill sphere of Mars for irregular satellites. Our search covered nearly the entire Hill Sphere, but scattered light from Mars excluded the inner few arcminutes wher…
