The Complex Rotational Light Curve of (385446) Manwë-Thorondor, a Multi-Component Eclipsing System in the Kuiper Belt
David L. Rabinowitz, Susan D. Benecchi, William M. Grundy +2
Kuiper Belt Object (385446) Manwë-Thorondor is a multi-object system with mutual events predicted to occur from 2014 to 2019. To detect the events, we observed the system at 4 epoc…
Visible spectroscopy from the Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS): Taxonomic dependence on asteroid size
Maxime Devogele, Nicholas Moskovitz, Audrey Thirouin +14
The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS) aims to observe and characterize small (mean absolute magnitude H ~ 25 mag) Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that are accessible by…
Physical Characterization of Active Asteroid (6478) Gault
Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Audrey Thirouin +4
Main belt asteroid (6478) Gault has been dynamically linked with two overlapping asteroid families: Phocaea, dominated by S-type asteroids, and Tamara, dominated by low-albedo C-ty…
Colors of Trans-Neptunian Contact Binaries
Audrey Thirouin, Scott S. Sheppard
The g'r'i' colors of seven likely and potential contact binaries in the Kuiper belt were acquired with the Magellan-Baade telescope and combined with colors from the literature to…
A common origin for dynamically associated near-Earth asteroid pairs
Nicholas Moskovitz, Petr Fatka, Davide Farnocchia +19
Though pairs of dynamically associated asteroids in the Main Belt have been identified and studied for over a decade, very few pair systems have been identified in the near-Earth a…
From Centaurs to comets - 40 years
Nuno Peixinho, Audrey Thirouin, Stephen C. Tegler +4
In 1977, while Apple II and Atari computers were being sold, a tiny dot was observed in an inconvenient orbit. The minor body 1977 UB, to be named (2060) Chiron, with an orbit betw…
