Photometric Survey of Neptune's Trojan Asteroids I: The Color Distribution

Larissa Markwardt, Hsing Wen Lin, David Gerdes +1

In 2018, Jewitt identified the "The Trojan Color Conundrum", namely that Neptune's Trojan asteroids (NTs) had no ultra-red members, unlike the the nearby Kuiper Belt. Since then, n…

Photometric Properties of Jupiter Trojans detected by the Dark Energy Survey

DES Collobration, :, Jiaming Pan +55

The Jupiter Trojans are a large group of asteroids that are co-orbiting with Jupiter near its L4 and L5 Lagrange points. The study of Jupiter Trojans is crucial for testing differe…

A Collision Mechanism for the Removal of Earth's Trojan Asteroids

Kevin J. Napier, Larissa Markwardt, Fred C. Adams +2

Due to their strong resonances with their host planet, Trojan asteroids can remain in stable orbits for billions of years. As a result, they are powerful probes for constraining th…

A search of the full six years of the Dark Energy Survey for outer Solar System objects

Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Gary M. Bernstein, Masao Sako +64

We present the results of a search for outer Solar System objects in the full six years of data (Y6) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The DES covered a contiguous deg…
