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…
New Horizons: Long-Range Kuiper Belt Targets Observed by the Hubble Space Telescope
Susan D. Benecchi1, Keith S. Noll, Harold A. Weaver +4
We report on Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of three Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs), discovered in our dedicated ground-based search campaign, that are candidates for long-r…
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…
The Rotational Light Curve of (79360) Sila-Nunam, an Eclipsing Binary in the Kuiper Belt
David Rabinowitz, Susan Benecchi, William Grundy +1
We combine long-term photometric observations in multiple band passes to determine the rotational light curve for the binary Kuiper-Belt object (79360) Sila-Nunam. We measure an un…
HST Astrometry of Transneptunian Objects
Susan D. Benecchi, Keith S. Noll
We present 1428 individual astrometric measurements of 256 Transneptunian objects made with HST. The observations were collected over three years with two instruments, the Wide Fie…
