Beyond Point Masses. V. Weywot's Non-Keplerian Orbit
Benjamin Proudfoot, Will Grundy, Darin Ragozzine +1
We present a detailed dynamical analysis of the Quaoar-Weywot system based on nearly 20 years of high-precision astrometric data, including new HST observations and stellar occulta…
Are We There Yet? Challenges in Quantifying the Frequency of Earth Analogs in the Habitable Zone
Rachel B. Fernandes, Samson Johnson, Galen J. Bergsten +43
Searching for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most highly prioritized pursuits in astronomy today. However, the ability to observe evidence of Earth-like life through…
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…
The Near-Centaur Environment: Satellites, Rings, and Debris
A. A. Sickafoose, S. M. Giuliatti Winter, R. Leiva +3
The unexpected finding of a ring system around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo opened a new window for dynamical studies and posed many questions about the formation and evolutionary…
Characterization of the Deep, Extended Kuiper Belt in the Galactic Disk
Susan D. Benecchi, Simon B. Porter, Anne J. Verbiscer +11
We propose a Roman Space Telescope survey to investigate fundamental properties of the distant solar system in the region of the Kuiper Belt where object characteristics and the si…
Stellar occultation observations of (38628) Huya and its satellite: a detailed look into the system
F. L. Rommel, E. Fernández-Valenzuela, B. C. N. Proudfoot +78
The physical and orbital parameters of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) provide valuable information about the Solar System's formation and evolution. In particular, the characteriza…
