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…
