Spitzer Observations of Spacecraft Target 162173 (1999 JU3)
H. Campins, J. P. Emery, M. Kelley +5
Near-Earth asteroid 162173 (1999 JU3) is the primary target of the Hayabusa-2 sample return mission, and a potential target of the Marco Polo sample return mission. Earth-based stu…
Digging Into the Surface of the Icy Dwarf Planet Eris
M. R. Abernathy, S. C. Tegler, W. M. Grundy +4
We describe optical spectroscopic observations of the icy dwarf planet Eris with the 6.5 meter MMT telescope and the Red Channel Spectrograph. We report a correlation, that is at t…
Visible spectroscopy in the neighborhood of 2003 EL61
N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Licandro, V. Lorenzi
Context: The recent discovery of a group of trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) in a narrow region of the orbital parameter space and with surfaces composed of almost pure water ice, be…
Study of the Surface of 2003 EL61: the largest carbon-depleted object in the trans-neptunian belt
N. Pinilla-ALonso, R. Brunetto, J. Licandro +3
2003 EL61 is the largest member of a group of TNOs with similar orbits and 'unique' spectra (neutral slope in the visible and the deepest water ice absorption bands ever observed i…
The dark nature of GRB 051022 and its host galaxy
A. J. Castro-Tirado, M. Bremer, S. McBreen +17
We present multiwavelength (X-ray/optical/near-infrared/millimetre) observations of GRB 051022 between 2.5 hours and ~1.15 yr after the event. It is the most intense gamma-ray burs…
The water ice rich surface of (145453) 2005 RR43: a case for a carbon-depleted population of TNOs?
N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Licandro, R. Gil-Hutton +1
Recent results suggest that there is a group of TNOs (2003 EL61 being the biggest member), with surfaces composed of almost pure water ice and with very similar orbital elements. W…
