Unravelling Temporal Variability in Saturn's Spiral Density Waves: Results and Predictions
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Philip D. Nicholson, Joseph A. Burns +2
We describe a model that accounts for the complex morphology of spiral density waves raised in Saturn's rings by the co-orbital satellites, Janus and Epimetheus. Our model may be c…
Cassini Imaging of Saturn's Rings II: A Wavelet Technique for Analysis of Density Waves and Other Radial Structure in the Rings
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Joseph A. Burns, Philip D. Nicholson +2
We describe a powerful signal processing method, the continuous wavelet transform, and use it to analyze radial structure in Cassini ISS images of Saturn's rings. Wavelet analysis…
Discovery of a low-eccentricity, high-inclination Kuiper belt object at 58 AU
R. L. Allen, B. Gladman, J. J. Kavelaars +3
We report the discovery of the first trans-neptunian object, designated 2004 XR190, with a nearly-cirular orbit beyond the 2:1 mean-motion resonance. Fitting an orbit to 23 astrome…
The CFEPS Kuiper Belt Survey: Strategy and Pre-survey Results
R. L. Allen, B. Gladman, J-M Petit +13
We present the data acquisition strategy and characterization procedures for the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS), a sub-component of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope…
Evidence for an extended scattered disk
B. Gladman, M. Holman, T. Grav +4
By telescopic tracking, we have established that the orbit of the trans-neptunian object (2000 CR) has a perihelion of 44 AU, and is thus outside the domain control…
Pencil-Beam Surveys for Faint Trans-Neptunian Objects
Brett Gladman, JJ Kavelaars, Philip D. Nicholson +2
We have conducted pencil-beam searches for outer solar system objects to a limiting magnitude of R ~ 26. Five new trans-neptunian objects were detected in these searches. Our combi…
