The Large Smooth Patch on Comet 9P/Tempel 1: Remnant of a Recent Past Event
J. L. Rizos, T. L. Farnham, J. Kloos +2
We present a comprehensive reassessment of the region containing the large smooth patch on comet 9P/Tempel 1, leveraging data from the Deep Impact and Stardust-NExT missions, an up…
Physical properties of trans-Neptunian object (143707) 2003 UY117 derived from stellar occultation and photometric observations
M. Kretlow, J. L. Ortiz, J. Desmars +49
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are considered to be among the most primitive objects in our Solar System. Knowledge of their primary physical properties is essential for understand…
New Candidates for Organic-rich Regions on Ceres
J. L. Rizos, J. M. Sunshine, R. T. Daly +7
We explore the spatial distribution of organics on Ceres using the visible and near-infrared data collected by the Dawn mission. We employ a spectral mixture analysis (SMA) approac…
A study of centaur (54598) Bienor from multiple stellar occultations and rotational light curves
J. L. Rizos, E. Fernández-Valenzuela, J. L. Ortiz +40
Centaurs, distinguished by their volatile-rich compositions, play a pivotal role in understanding the formation and evolution of the early solar system, as they represent remnants…
The visible and thermal light curve of the large Kuiper belt object (50000) Quaoar
C. Kiss, T. G. Müller, G. Marton +7
Recent stellar occultations have allowed accurate instantaneous size and apparent shape determinations of the large Kuiper belt object (50000)~Quaoar and the detection of two rings…
