LiDO: The Large inclination Distant Objects Survey

Mike Alexandersen, Rosemary E. Pike, Ying-Tung Chen +20

Previous trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) discovery surveys targeted the ecliptic plane, where the overall highest density is seen. High-inclination objects spend little time near th…

LiDO: Discovery of a 10:1 Resonator with a Novel Libration State

Rosemary E. Pike, Ruth Murray-Clay, Kathryn Volk +9

The Large inclination Distant Objects LiDO survey has discovered the first securely classified object in the 10:1 mean motion resonance of Neptune. This object, 2020 VN40, is short…

Discovery and dynamics of a Sedna-like object with a perihelion of 66 au

Ying-Tung Chen, Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Yukun Huang +30

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with large perihelion distances ( au) and semi-major axes ( au) provide insights into the early evolution of the solar system and th…

The Surfaces of Small to Mid-Size Plutinos: Evidence of an Association Between Inclination and Surface Type

Cameron Collyer, Rosemary E. Pike, Ying-Tung Chen +6

Being one of the most populated mean motion resonances (MMR) with Neptune and lying close to the inner boundary of the present day cold classical disk, observations of the orbital…

LiDO: Exploring the Stable Plutino Parameter Space

Samantha M. Lawler, Mark Comte, Rosemary E. Pike +7

We present a publicly available, high-resolution, filled-parameter-space synthetic distribution of the Plutinos, trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) librating in the 3:2 mean-motion res…

Characterization of the Deep, Extended Kuiper Belt in the Galactic Disk

Susan D. Benecchi, Simon B. Porter, Anne J. Verbiscer +11

We propose a Roman Space Telescope survey to investigate fundamental properties of the distant solar system in the region of the Kuiper Belt where object characteristics and the si…

An Extremely Deep Rubin Survey to Explore the Extended Kuiper Belt and Identify Objects Observable by New Horizons

JJ Kavelaars, Marc W. Buie, Wesley C. Fraser +22

A proposed Vera C. Rubin Observatory Deep Drilling micro-survey of the Kuiper Belt will investigate key properties of the distant solar system. Utilizing 30 hours of Rubin time acr…

Candidate Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by the New Horizons Subaru TNO Survey

Wesley C. Fraser, Simon B. Porter, Lowell Peltier +41

We report the detection of 239 trans-Neptunian Objects discovered through the on-going New Horizons survey for distant minor bodies being performed with the Hyper Suprime-Cam mosai…

Col-OSSOS: The Distribution of Surface Classes in Neptune's Resonances

Rosemary E. Pike, Wesley C. Fraser, Kathryn Volk +9

The distribution of surface classes of resonant trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) provides constraints on the protoplanetesimal disk and giant planet migration. To better understand t…

OSSOS XXV: Large Populations and Scattering-Sticking in the Distant Transneptunian Resonances

B. L. Crompvoets, S. M. Lawler, K. Volk +8

There have been 77 TNOs discovered to be librating in the distant transneptunian resonances (beyond the 2:1 resonance, at semimajor axes greater than 47.7~AU) in four well-characte…
