Absolute magnitudes and phase coefficients of trans-Neptunian objects
A. Alvarez-Candal, N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. L. Ortiz +5
Context: Accurate measurements of diameters of trans-Neptunian objects are extremely complicated to obtain. Thermal modeling can provide good results, but accurate absolute magnitu…
JWST observations of stellar occultations by solar system bodies and rings
P. Santos-Sanz, R. G. French, N. Pinilla-Alonso +14
In this paper we investigate the opportunities provided by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for significant scientific advances in the study of solar system bodies and rings u…
Lunar impact flashes from Geminids, analysis of luminous efficiencies and the flux of large meteoroids on Earth
Jose L. Ortiz, Jose M. Madiedo, Nicolas Morales +2
We analyze lunar impact flashes recorded by our team during runs in December 2007, 2011, 2013 and 2014. In total, 12 impact flashes with magnitudes ranging between 7.1 and 9.3 in V…
2008 OG: A highly elongated Trans-Neptunian Object
Estela Fernández-Valenzuela, Jose Luis Ortiz, René Duffard +2
From two observing runs during the 2014 summer at Calar Alto Observatory in Almería (Spain) and at Sierra Nevada Observatory in Granada (Spain), we were able to derive CCD photomet…
Orbit determination of Transneptunian objects and Centaurs for the prediction of stellar occultations
J. Desmars, J. I. B. Camargo, F. Braga-Ribas +10
The prediction of stellar occultations by Transneptunian objects and Centaurs is a difficult challenge that requires accuracy both in the occulted star position as for the object e…
Pluto's atmosphere from stellar occultations in 2012 and 2013
A. Dias-Oliveira, B. Sicardy, E. Lellouch +42
We analyze two multi-chord stellar occultations by Pluto observed on July 18th, 2012 and May 4th, 2013, and monitored respectively from five and six sites. They provide a total of…
