Beyond Point Masses. VI. Spin-Orbit Evolution of the Centaur Binary Typhon-Echidna
Benjamin Proudfoot, Will Grundy, Darin Ragozzine
Only three binaries have been identified among the Centaur population. Because their perihelia are significantly closer than those of other trans-Neptunian binaries (TNBs), these s…
Kilometre-scale Jovian moon characterized for a potential JUICE flyby
Juan Luis Rizos, Jose Maria Gomez-Limon, Yucel Kilic +51
The paper presents new observations of Jupiter’s irregular moon Kallichore, using Hubble, ground‑based telescopes and stellar occultations to refine its orbit, size, shape and surf…
Rotation and Mutual Eclipse Events Season in the Kuiper Belt: (524366) 2001 XR
Audrey Thirouin, William M. Grundy, Scott S. Sheppard +3
The authors present ground‑based photometry of the Kuiper Belt binary (524366) 2001 XR254, measuring an 11.17‑hour rotation period and modeling its upcoming mutual eclipse season t…
Triaxial shapes and densities of G!kún||'hòmdÃmà , Haumea, and Varda from stellar occultations
Benjamin Proudfoot, Will Grundy, Flavia Luane Rommel +2
The shapes and densities of mid-sized and large trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are pivotal for understanding a variety of important aspects of planet formation. In this work, we pr…
Trans-Neptunian Binary Mutual Events in the 2020s and 2030s
Benjamin Proudfoot, Will Grundy, Darin Ragozzine
Mutual events of trans-Neptunian binaries (TNBs) provide rare opportunities to measure the physical and orbital properties of small bodies in the outer solar system. However, succe…
Orbital Characterization of a Newly Discovered Small Satellite Around Quaoar
Benjamin Proudfoot, Richard Nolthenius, Bryan J. Holler +5
Recent observations of a stellar occultation have revealed the presence of a previously undiscovered small satellite around Quaoar. Orbiting near Quaoar's unusual ring system, this…
