Observations of Uranus at High Phase Angle as Seen by New Horizons
Samantha N. Hasler, L. C. Mayorga, William M. Grundy +14
We present flux measurements of Uranus observed at phase angles of 43.9°, 44.0°, and 52.4° by the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) on the New Horizons spacecraft during…
Candidate Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by the New Horizons Subaru TNO Survey
Wesley C. Fraser, Simon B. Porter, Lowell Peltier +41
We report the detection of 239 trans-Neptunian Objects discovered through the on-going New Horizons survey for distant minor bodies being performed with the Hyper Suprime-Cam mosai…
The Discovery and Evolution of a Possible New Epoch of Cometary Activity by the Centaur (2060) Chiron
Matthew M. Dobson, Megan E. Schwamb, Alan Fitzsimmons +24
Centaurs are small Solar System objects on chaotic orbits in the giant planet region, forming an evolutionary continuum with the Kuiper belt objects and Jupiter-family comets. Some…
A deep analysis for New Horizons' KBO search images
Fumi Yoshida, Toshifumi Yanagisawa, Takashi Ito +8
Observation datasets acquired by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) on the Subaru Telescope for NASA's New Horizons mission target search were analyzed through a method devised by JAXA. T…
Detection of Close Kuiper Belt Binaries with HST WFC3
Simon B. Porter, Susan D. Benecchi, Anne J. Verbiscer +3
Binaries in the Kuiper Belt are common. Here we present our analysis of the Solar System Origins Legacy Survey (SSOLS) to show that using a PSF-fitting method can roughly double th…
The New Horizons Extended Mission Target: Arrokoth Search and Discovery
Marc W. Buie, John R. Spencer, Simon B. Porter +37
Following the Pluto fly-by of the New Horizons spacecraft, the mission provided a unique opportunity to explore the Kuiper Belt in-situ. The possibility existed to fly-by a Kuiper…
