The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) II. Observational Strategy and Design
Chadwick A. Trujillo, Cesar Fuentes, David W. Gerdes +19
We present the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) survey strategy including observing cadence for orbit determination, exposure times, field pointings and filter choices. Th…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) VI: first multi-year observations of trans-Neptunian objects
Hayden Smotherman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Stephen K. N. Portillo +25
We present the first set of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) observed on multiple nights in data taken from the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). Of these 110 TNOs, 105 do n…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) III: Survey characterization and simulation methods
Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Hayden Smotherman, Zachary Langford +24
We present a detailed study of the observational biases of the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project's (DEEP) B1 data release and survey simulation software that enables direct statis…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) IV: Constraints on the shape distribution of bright TNOs
R. Strauss, D. E. Trilling, P. H. Bernardinelli +20
We present the methods and results from the discovery and photometric measurement of 26 bright (VR 24 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) during the first year (2019-20) of the DECa…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP): I. Survey description, science questions, and technical demonstration
David E. Trilling, David W. Gerdes, Mario Juric +19
We present here the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP), a three year NOAO/NOIRLab Survey that was allocated 46.5 nights to discover and measure the properties of thousands o…
Observational Characterization of Main-Belt Comet and Candidate Main-Belt Comet Nuclei
Henry H. Hsieh, Marco Micheli, Michael S. P. Kelley +9
We report observations of nine MBCs or candidate MBCs, most of which were obtained when the targets were apparently inactive. We find effective nucleus radii (assuming albedos of p…
