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…
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…
You Only Stack Once (YOSO): A Motion-Filtered, Deep-Learning Framework for Detecting Faint Moving Sources
Nitya Pandey, César Fuentes, Pedro Bernardinelli +15
We present You Only Stack Once (YOSO), an automated pipeline designed to detect faint, slow-moving Solar System objects in wide-field astronomical surveys. The pipeline integrates…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario JuriÄ +305
We report on the observation and measurement of astrometry, photometry, morphology, and activityof the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) with the NSF-…
Small Body Dynamics with SBDynT: Proper Elements and Chaos Analysis
Dallin Spencer, Kat Volk, Darin Ragozzine +1
The Small Body Dynamics Tool (SBDynT) is software written for the community of Solar System small body researchers to perform dynamical classification, characterization, and invest…
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…
