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…
OSSOS: XXVII. Population Estimates for Theoretically Stable Centaurs Between Uranus and Neptune
Rosemary C. Dorsey, Michele T. Bannister, Samantha M. Lawler +1
We calculate the upper bounds of the population of theoretically stable Centaur orbits between Uranus and Neptune. These small bodies are on low-eccentricity, low-inclination orbit…
A Near Surface Temperature Model of Arrokoth
O. M. Umurhan, W. M. Grundy, M. K. Bird +19
A near surface thermal model for Arrokoth is developed based on the recently released facet model of the body. This thermal solution takes into account Arrokoth's surface re…
Trans-Neptunian Space and the Post-Pluto Paradigm
Alex H. Parker
The Pluto system is an archetype for the multitude of icy dwarf planets and accompanying satellite systems that populate the vast volume of the solar system beyond Neptune. New Hor…
Initial results from the New Horizons exploration of 2014 MU69, a small Kuiper Belt Object
S. A. Stern, H. A. Weaver, J. R. Spencer +202
The Kuiper Belt is a distant region of the Solar System. On 1 January 2019, the New Horizons spacecraft flew close to (486958) 2014 MU69, a Cold Classical Kuiper Belt Object, a cla…
The Geology and Geophysics of Kuiper Belt Object (486958) Arrokoth
J. R. Spencer, S. A. Stern, J. M. Moore +75
The Cold Classical Kuiper Belt, a class of small bodies in undisturbed orbits beyond Neptune, are primitive objects preserving information about Solar System formation. The New Hor…
