The HST Lightcurve of (486958) 2014 MU69
S. D. Benecchi, S. Porter, M. W. Buie +6
We report HST lightcurve observations of the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft encounter KBO (486958) 2014 MU69 acquired near opposition in July 2017. In order to plan the optimum flyby…
The Orbit of Transneptunian Binary Manwë and Thorondor and their Upcoming Mutual Events
W. M. Grundy, S. D. Benecchi, S. B. Porter +1
A new Hubble Space Telescope observation of the 7:4 resonant transneptunian binary system (385446) Manwë has shown that, of two previously reported solutions for the orbit of its s…
De-biased Populations of Kuiper Belt Objects from the Deep Ecliptic Survey
E. R. Adams, A. A. S. Gulbis, J. L. Elliot +4
The Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) discovered hundreds of Kuiper Belt objects from 1998-2005. Follow-up observations yielded 304 objects with good dynamical classifications (Classical,…
Five New and Three Improved Mutual Orbits of Transneptunian Binaries
W. M. Grundy, K. S. Noll, F. Nimmo +7
We present three improved and five new mutual orbits of transneptunian binary systems (58534) Logos-Zoe, (66652) Borasisi-Pabu, (88611) Teharonhiawako-Sawiskera, (123509) 2000 WK18…
Unbiased Inclination Distributions for Objects in the Kuiper Belt
Amanda Gulbis, Jim Elliot, Elisabeth Adams +4
Using data from the Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES), we investigate the inclination distributions of objects in the Kuiper Belt. We present a derivation for observational bias removal a…
