TNOs are Cool: A survey of the trans-Neptunian region. VIII. Combined Herschel PACS and SPIRE observations of 9 bright targets at 70--500 micron

S. Fornasier, E. Lellouch, T. Müller +17

Transneptunian objects (TNOs) are bodies populating the Kuiper Belt and they are believed to retain the most pristine and least altered material of the solar system. The Herschel O…

Characterisation of candidate members of (136108) Haumea's family: II. Follow-up observations

Benoit Carry, Colin Snodgrass, Pedro Lacerda +2

From a dynamical analysis of the orbital elements of transneptunian objects (TNOs), Ragozzine & Brown reported a list of candidate members of the first collisional family found amo…

The Bimodal Colors of Centaurs and Small Kuiper Belt Objects

Nuno Peixinho, Audrey Delsanti, Aurélie Guilbert-Lepoutre +2

Ever since the very first photometric studies of Centaurs and Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) their visible color distribution has been controversial. That controversy gave rise to a pr…

"TNOs are cool": A survey of the trans-neptunian region. II. The thermal lightcurve of (136108) Haumea

E. Lellouch, C. Kiss, P. Santos-Sanz +33

Thermal emission from Kuiper Belt object (136108) Haumea was measured with Herschel-PACS at 100 and 160 micrometers for almost a full rotation period. Observations clearly indicate…

"TNOs are Cool": A survey of the trans-Neptunian region I. Results from the Herschel Science Demonstration Phase (SDP)

T. G. Mueller, E. Lellouch, J. Stansberry +32

The goal of the Herschel Open Time Key programme "TNOs are Cool!" is to derive the physical and thermal properties for a large sample of Centaurs and trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs)…
