A Well-Characterized Survey for Centaurs in Pan-STARRS1
Jacob A. Kurlander, Matthew J. Holman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +3
To prepare for the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time, we develop methods for quantifying the selection function of a wide-field survey as a function of all six orbital param…
A Novel Orbit Parameterization in Spherical Coordinates
Kevin J Napier, Matthew J Holman
We present a novel orbit parameterization in spherical coordinates. This parameterization enables the mixing of varying and invariant orbital parameters, and clarifies the physics…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). VII. The Strengths of Three Superfast Rotating Main-belt Asteroids from a Preliminary Search of DEEP Data
Ryder Strauss, Andrew McNeill, David E. Trilling +19
Superfast rotators (SFRs) are small solar system objects that rotate faster than generally possible for a cohesionless rubble pile. Their rotational characteristics allow us to mak…
Recommendations for Early Definition Science with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
Robyn E. Sanderson, Ryan Hickox, Christopher M. Hirata +3
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman), NASA's next flagship observatory, has significant mission time to be spent on surveys for general astrophysics in addition to its thr…
The New Horizons Extended Mission Target: Arrokoth Search and Discovery
Marc W. Buie, John R. Spencer, Simon B. Porter +37
Following the Pluto fly-by of the New Horizons spacecraft, the mission provided a unique opportunity to explore the Kuiper Belt in-situ. The possibility existed to fly-by a Kuiper…
A Pan-STARRS1 Search for Planet Nine
Michael E. Brown, Matthew J. Holman, Konstantin Batygin
We present a search for Planet Nine using the second data release of the Pan-STARRS1survey. We rule out the existence of a Planet Nine with the characteristics of that predicted in…
