Unveiling the Trans-Neptunian Region with the SKA
Pablo Santos-Sanz, Yücel Kilic, Thomas G. Müller +3
We explore the potential of the SKA staged delivery AA4 (SKA-AA4) to detect and characterise the thermal emission of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs at centimetre wavel…
Probing close-in satellites of Trans-Neptunian Objects through thermal and direct size measurements
J. M. Gómez-Limón, R. Leiva, J. L. Ortiz +6
Context: Trans-Neptunian objects are distant bodies that retain valuable information about the origin and evolution of the Solar System. Many of these objects constitute binary sys…
Euclid: Asteroid rotation periods from the Euclid Ecliptic Survey
B. Y. Irureta-Goyena, B. Altieri, J. -P. Kneib +142
The Euclid Ecliptic Survey was conducted during the calibration phase of the mission, 23-31 December 2023, as a campaign to study Solar System objects. We used data from this surve…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40m Telescope and the Science at Stake: from Interstellar Visitors to Planetary Defence
J. de León, N. Pinilla-Alonso, P. Tanga +49
Small Solar system Objects (SSOs) preserve the physical, chemical, and dynamical signatures of the Sun's protoplanetary disk. Upcoming surveys will discover vast numbers of new obj…
Orbits of very distant asteroid satellites
K. Minker, B. Carry, F. Vachier +36
The very wide binary asteroid (VWBA) population is a small subset of the population of known binary and multiple asteroids made of systems with very widely orbiting satellites and…
