Discovery of lake-effect clouds on Titan
M. E. Brown, E. L. Schaller, H. G. Roe +5
Images from instruments on Cassini as well as from telescopes on the ground reveal the presence of sporadic small-scale cloud activity in the cold late-winter north polar of Saturn…
Detection of Additional Members of the 2003 EL61 Family via Infrared Spectroscopy
E. L. Schaller, M. E. Brown
We have acquired near-infrared spectra of Kuiper belt objects 2003 UZ117, 2005 CB79 and 2004 SB60 with NIRC on the Keck I Telescope. These objects are dynamically close to the core…
Detection of methane on Kuiper Belt Object (50000) Quaoar
E. L. Schaller, M. E. Brown
The near-infrared spectrum of (50000) Quaoar obtained at the Keck Observatory shows distinct absorption features of crystalline water ice, solid methane and ethane, and possibly ot…
Direct measurement of the size of 2003 UB313 from the Hubble Space Telescope
M. E. Brown, E. L. Schaller, H. G. Roe +2
We have used the Hubble Space Telescope to directly measure the angular size of the large Kuiper belt object 2003 UB313. By carefully calibrating the point spread function of a nea…
Water Ice on the Satellite of Kuiper Belt Object 2003 EL61
K. M Barkume, M. E. Brown, E. L. Schaller
We have obtained a near infrared spectrum of the brightest satellite of the large Kuiper Belt Object, 2003 EL61. The spectrum has absorption features at 1.5 and 2.0 microns, indica…
The Surface of 2003EL61 in the Near Infrared
C. A. Trujillo, M. E. Brown, K. M. Barkume +2
We report the detection of crystalline water ice on the surface of 2003 EL61. Reflectance spectra were collected from Gemini North telescope from 1.0 to 2.4 micron wavelength range…
