Probing the Taxonomic Diversity of the Small Near-Earth Object Population
Andy J. López-Oquendo, David E. Trilling, Michael Mommert +1
Small near-Earth objects (NEOs) represent the immediate source population of meteors and meteorites and provide a direct window into the compositional and dynamical evolution of th…
NEO Colors from The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS)
Nicholas Moskovitz, Theodore Kareta, Samantha Hemmelgarn +13
We present spectro-photometric griz colors for 189 near-Earth objects (NEOs) collected by the Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS). Data acquisition involved non-sim…
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…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) II. Observational Strategy and Design
Chadwick A. Trujillo, Cesar Fuentes, David W. Gerdes +19
We present the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) survey strategy including observing cadence for orbit determination, exposure times, field pointings and filter choices. Th…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) VI: first multi-year observations of trans-Neptunian objects
Hayden Smotherman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Stephen K. N. Portillo +25
We present the first set of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) observed on multiple nights in data taken from the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). Of these 110 TNOs, 105 do n…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) III: Survey characterization and simulation methods
Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Hayden Smotherman, Zachary Langford +24
We present a detailed study of the observational biases of the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project's (DEEP) B1 data release and survey simulation software that enables direct statis…
"TNOs are Cool": A survey of the trans-Neptunian region X. Analysis of classical Kuiper belt objects from Herschel and Spitzer observations
E. Vilenius, C. Kiss, T. Müller +14
The classical Kuiper belt contains objects both from a low-inclination, presumably primordial, distribution and from a high-inclination dynamically excited population. Based on a s…
TNOs are Cool: A survey of the trans-Neptunian region. VIII. Combined Herschel PACS and SPIRE observations of 9 bright targets at 70--500 micron
S. Fornasier, E. Lellouch, T. Müller +17
Transneptunian objects (TNOs) are bodies populating the Kuiper Belt and they are believed to retain the most pristine and least altered material of the solar system. The Herschel O…
"TNOs are Cool": A survey of the trans-Neptunian region VI. Herschel/PACS observations and thermal modeling of 19 classical Kuiper belt objects
E. Vilenius, C. Kiss, M. Mommert +20
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNO) represent the leftovers of the formation of the Solar System. Their physical properties provide constraints to the models of formation and evolution o…
TNOs are Cool: A survey of the trans-Neptunian region V. Physical characterization of 18 Plutinos using Herschel PACS observations
Michael Mommert, A. W. Harris, C. Kiss +18
We present Herschel PACS photometry of 18 Plutinos and determine sizes and albedos for these objects using thermal modeling. We analyze our results for correlations, draw conclusio…
"TNOs are cool": A survey of the trans-neptunian region. II. The thermal lightcurve of (136108) Haumea
E. Lellouch, C. Kiss, P. Santos-Sanz +33
Thermal emission from Kuiper Belt object (136108) Haumea was measured with Herschel-PACS at 100 and 160 micrometers for almost a full rotation period. Observations clearly indicate…
