The Diverse Solar Phase Curves of Distant Icy Bodies. II. The Cause of the Opposition Surges and Their Correlations
Bradley E. Schaefer, David L. Rabinowitz, Suzanne W. Tourtellotte
We collect well-measured opposition surge properties for many icy bodies orbiting the Sun (mostly from our own observations) plus for many icy moons, resulting in a data base of su…
The Youthful Appearance of the 2003 EL61 Collisional Family
David L. Rabinowitz, Bradley E. Schaefer, Martha W. Schaefer +1
We present new solar phase curve observations of the 2003 EL61 collisional family showing that all the members have light-scattering properties similar to the bright icy satellites…
Nereid: Light Curve for 1999-2006 and a Scenario for its Variations
Bradley E. Schaefer, Suzanne W. Tourtellotte, David L. Rabinowitz +1
Nereid is a small irregular moon of Neptune that displays large-, moderate-, and small-amplitude photometric variations on both fast and slow time scales. The central mystery of Ne…
The Diverse Solar Phase Curves of Distant Icy Bodies. Part I: Photometric Observations of 18 Trans-Neptunian Objects, 7 Centaurs, and Nereid
David L. Rabinowitz, Bradley E. Schaefer, Suzanne W. Tourtellotte
We have measured the solar phase curves in B, V, and I for 18 Trans-Neptunian Objects, 7 Centaurs, and Nereid and determined the rotation curves for 10 of these targets. For each b…
