Kilometre-scale Jovian moon characterized for a potential JUICE flyby

Juan Luis Rizos, Jose Maria Gomez-Limon, Yucel Kilic +51

Jupiter's irregular satellites are thought to be relics of early Solar System planetesimals. However, their small sizes, large distances from Earth and close angular proximity to J…

Size, shape, density, and atmospheric limit of (50000) Quaoar revealed from 14 years of stellar occultation

Giuliano Margoti, Felipe Braga-Ribas, José Luis Ortiz +173

We present results from 28 stellar occultations by the large Trans-Neptunian Object (50000) Quaoar registered between 2018 and 2025. By performing a joint analysis of this occultat…

Unveiling the Trans-Neptunian Region with the SKA

Pablo Santos-Sanz, Yücel Kilic, Thomas G. Müller +3

We explore the potential of the SKA staged delivery AA4 (SKA-AA4) to detect and characterise the thermal emission of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs at centimetre wavel…

Probing close-in satellites of Trans-Neptunian Objects through thermal and direct size measurements

J. M. Gómez-Limón, R. Leiva, J. L. Ortiz +6

Context: Trans-Neptunian objects are distant bodies that retain valuable information about the origin and evolution of the Solar System. Many of these objects constitute binary sys…

Constraining the size, shape, and albedo of the large Trans-Neptunian Object (28978) Ixion with multi-chord stellar occultations

Y. Kilic, F. Braga-Ribas, C. L. Pereira +81

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are among the most primitive remnants of the early Solar System, and constraining their sizes, shapes, albedos, and surface properties is essential f…
