Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations
J. Marques Oliveira, B. Sicardy, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +234
A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October 2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 of…
Understanding the trans-Neptunian Solar system: Reconciling the results of serendipitous stellar occultations and the inferences from the cratering record
Andrew Shannon, Alain Doressoundiram, Françoise Roques +2
The most pristine remnants of the Solar system's planet formation epoch orbit the Sun beyond Neptune, the small bodies of the trans-Neptunian object populations. The bulk of the ma…
The dynamics of rings around Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian Objects
Bruno Sicardy, Stefan Renner, Rodrigo Leiva +4
Since 2013, dense and narrow rings are known around the small Centaur object Chariklo and the dwarf planet Haumea. Dense material has also been detected around the Centaur Chiron,…
Ring dynamics around non-axisymmetric bodies with application to Chariklo and Haumea
B. Sicardy, R. Leiva, S. Renner +4
Dense and narrow rings have been discovered recently around the small Centaur object Chariklo and the dwarf planet Haumea, while being suspected around the Centaur Chiron. They are…
A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo
F. Braga-Ribas, B. Sicardy, J. L. Ortiz +61
Until now, rings have been detected in the Solar System exclusively around the four giant planets. Here we report the discovery of the first minor-body ring system around the Centa…
