Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of Europa: The Distinct Spectrum of Large-scale Chaos
Patrick D. Fischer, Michael E. Brown, Kevin P. Hand
We present a comprehensive analysis of spatially resolved moderate spectral resolution near infrared spectra obtained with the adaptive optics system at the Keck Observatory. We id…
The 3 m Spectrum of Jupiter's Irregular Satellite Himalia
M. E. Brown, A. R. Rhoden
We present a medium resolution spectrum of Jupiter's irregular satellite Himalia covering the critical 3 m spectral region. The spectrum shows no evidence for aqueously altered…
On the size, shape, and density of dwarf planet Makemake
M. E. Brown
A recent stellar occultation by dwarf planet Makemake provided an excellent opportunity to measure the size and shape of one of the largest objects in the Kuiper belt. The analysis…
A Search for Magnesium in Europa's Atmosphere
Sarah M. Horst, Michael E. Brown
Europa's tenuous atmosphere results from sputtering of the surface. The trace element composition of its atmosphere is therefore related to the composition of Europa's surface. Mag…
The Mass, Orbit, and Tidal Evolution of the Quaoar-Weywot System
W. C. Fraser, K. Batygin, M. E. Brown +1
Here we present new adaptive optics observations of the Quaoar-Weywot system. With these new observations we determine an improved system orbit. Due to a 0.39 day alias that exists…
Orbits and Masses of the Satellites of the Dwarf Planet Haumea = 2003 EL61
Darin Ragozzine, Michael E. Brown
Using precise relative astrometry from the Hubble Space Telescope and the W. M. Keck Telescope, we have determined the orbits and masses of the two dynamically interacting satellit…
