HO within chaos terrain on Europa's leading hemisphere
Samantha K. Trumbo, Michael E. Brown, Kevin P. Hand
Hydrogen peroxide is part of an important radiolytic cycle on Europa and may be a critical source of oxidants to the putative subsurface ocean. The surface geographic distribution…
Photometry of active Centaurs: Colors of dormant active Centaur nuclei
Ian Wong, Aakash Mishra, Michael E. Brown
We present multiband photometric observations of nine Centaurs. Five of the targets are known active Centaurs (167P/CINEOS, 174P/Echeclus, P/2008 CL94, P/2011 S1, and C/2012 Q1), a…
Multiband photometry of a Patroclus-Menoetius mutual event: Constraints on surface heterogeneity
Ian Wong, Michael E. Brown
We present the first complete multiband observations of a binary asteroid mutual event. We obtained high-cadence, high-signal-to-noise photometry of the UT 2018 April 9 inferior sh…
Hubble Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Jupiter Trojans
Ian Wong, Michael E. Brown, Jordana Blacksberg +2
We present the first ultraviolet spectra of Jupiter Trojans. These observations were carried out using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope and co…
The Planet Nine Hypothesis
Konstantin Batygin, Fred C. Adams, Michael E. Brown +1
Over the course of the past two decades, observational surveys have unveiled the intricate orbital structure of the Kuiper Belt, a field of icy bodies orbiting the Sun beyond Neptu…
Orbital clustering in the distant solar system
Michael E. Brown, Konstantin Batygin
The most distant Kuiper belt objects appear to be clustered in longitude of perihelion and in orbital pole position. To date, the only two suggestions for the cause of these appare…
