Combined JWST and HST Deep Imaging to Characterize the Smallest Known Trans-Neptunian Objects
Anastasia N. Morgan, Marielle R. Eduardo, David E. Trilling +9
We present optical-near-infrared (NIR) color measurements for small ( km) Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) using coordinated and nearly simultaneous observations from the Ja…
Triaxial shapes and densities of G!kún||'hòmdímà, Haumea, and Varda from stellar occultations
Benjamin Proudfoot, Will Grundy, Flavia Luane Rommel +2
The shapes and densities of mid-sized and large trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are pivotal for understanding a variety of important aspects of planet formation. In this work, we pr…
Evidence of Possible Spectral Variability in the Patroclus-Menoetius Binary System
Ian Wong, William M. Grundy, Joshua P. Emery +5
We present new visible-wavelength spectroscopic observations of the Patroclus-Menoetius binary system in the Jupiter Trojan population. Motivated by previously published spectra fr…
Orbital Characterization of a Newly Discovered Small Satellite Around Quaoar
Benjamin Proudfoot, Richard Nolthenius, Bryan J. Holler +5
Recent observations of a stellar occultation have revealed the presence of a previously undiscovered small satellite around Quaoar. Orbiting near Quaoar's unusual ring system, this…
Synchronous Rotation in the (120347) Salacia-Actaea System
Cameron Collyer, Estela Fernandez-Valenzuela, Jose Luis Ortiz +8
We report on roughly 16 years of photometric monitoring of the transneptunian binary system (120347) Salacia-Actaea which provides significant evidence that Salacia and Actaea are…
JWST sighting of decameter main-belt asteroids and view on meteorite sources
Artem Y. Burdanov, Julien de Wit, Miroslav Brož +19
Asteroid discoveries are essential for planetary-defense efforts aiming to prevent impacts with Earth, including the more frequent megaton explosions from decameter impactors. Whil…
Observations of Uranus at High Phase Angle as Seen by New Horizons
Samantha N. Hasler, L. C. Mayorga, William M. Grundy +14
We present flux measurements of Uranus observed at phase angles of 43.9°, 44.0°, and 52.4° by the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) on the New Horizons spacecraft during…
Outbursts Upon Cooling of Low-Temperature Binary Mixtures: Experiments and Their Planetary Implications
S. M. Raposa, A. E. Engle, S. P. Tan +7
For many binary mixtures, the three-phase solid-liquid-vapor equilibrium curve has intermediate pressures that are higher than the pressure at the two pure triple points. This curv…
New Horizons Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter Observes Higher than Expected Fluxes Approaching 60 AU
Alex Doner, Mihaly Horanyi, Fran Bagenal +8
The NASA New Horizons Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter (SDC) measures dust particle impacts along the spacecraft's flight path for grains with mass g, mapping o…
OSSOS: IV. Discovery of a dwarf planet candidate in the 9:2 resonance with Neptune
Michele T. Bannister, Mike Alexandersen, Susan D. Benecchi +32
We report the discovery and orbit of a new dwarf planet candidate, 2015 RR, by the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS). 2015 RR's orbit is eccentric ($e=0.586…
The Outer Solar System Origins Survey: I. Design and First-Quarter Discoveries
Michele T. Bannister, J. J. Kavelaars, Jean-Marc Petit +36
We report the discovery, tracking and detection circumstances for 85 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) from the first 42 deg of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS). Th…
