Maximizing Science in the Era of LSST: A Community-Based Study of Needed US Capabilities
Joan Najita, Beth Willman, Douglas P. Finkbeiner +48
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be a discovery machine for the astronomy and physics communities, revealing astrophysical phenomena from the Solar System to the out…
New Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects: Towards a Super-Earth in the Outer Solar System
Scott S. Sheppard, Chad Trujillo
We are conducting a survey for extreme solar system objects to understand Sedna and 2012 VP113 and determine if an unknown massive planet exists in the outer solar system. Two new…
Tracking Neptune's Migration History through High-Perihelion Resonant Trans-Neptunian Objects
Nathan A. Kaib, Scott S. Sheppard
Recently, Sheppard et al. (2016) presented the discovery of seven new trans-Neptunian objects with moderate eccentricities, perihelia beyond 40 AU, and semimajor axes beyond 50 AU.…
Beyond the Kuiper Belt Edge: New High Perihelion Trans-Neptunian Objects With Moderate Semi-major Axes and Eccentricities
Scott S. Sheppard, Chadwick Trujillo, David J. Tholen
We have been conducting a survey for distant solar system objects beyond the Kuiper Belt edge (~50 AU) with new wide-field cameras on the Subaru 8 meter and CTIO 4 meter telescopes…
The AllWISE Motion Survey, Part 2
J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Kendra Kellogg, Adam C. Schneider +17
We use the AllWISE Data Release to continue our search for WISE-detected motions. In this paper, we publish another 27,846 motion objects, bringing the total number to 48,000 when…
Rotational properties of the Haumea family members and candidates: Short-term variability
Audrey Thirouin, Scott S. Sheppard, Keith S. Noll +3
Haumea is one of the most interesting and intriguing transneptunian objects (TNOs). It is a large, bright, fast rotator, and its spectrum indicates nearly pure water ice on the sur…
