LiDO: The Large inclination Distant Objects Survey
Mike Alexandersen, Rosemary E. Pike, Ying-Tung Chen +20
Previous trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) discovery surveys targeted the ecliptic plane, where the overall highest density is seen. High-inclination objects spend little time near th…
LiDO: Discovery of a 10:1 Resonator with a Novel Libration State
Rosemary E. Pike, Ruth Murray-Clay, Kathryn Volk +9
The Large inclination Distant Objects LiDO survey has discovered the first securely classified object in the 10:1 mean motion resonance of Neptune. This object, 2020 VN40, is short…
The Surfaces of Small to Mid-Size Plutinos: Evidence of an Association Between Inclination and Surface Type
Cameron Collyer, Rosemary E. Pike, Ying-Tung Chen +6
Being one of the most populated mean motion resonances (MMR) with Neptune and lying close to the inner boundary of the present day cold classical disk, observations of the orbital…
LiDO: Exploring the Stable Plutino Parameter Space
Samantha M. Lawler, Mark Comte, Rosemary E. Pike +7
We present a publicly available, high-resolution, filled-parameter-space synthetic distribution of the Plutinos, trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) librating in the 3:2 mean-motion res…
