Absolute magnitudes and phase coefficients of trans-Neptunian objects
A. Alvarez-Candal, N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. L. Ortiz +5
Context: Accurate measurements of diameters of trans-Neptunian objects are extremely complicated to obtain. Thermal modeling can provide good results, but accurate absolute magnitu…
Physical Characterization of TNOs with JWST
Alex Parker, Noemi Pinilla-Alonso, Pablo Santos-Sanz +14
Studies of the physical properties of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) are a powerful probe into the processes of planetesimal formation and solar system evolution. JWST will provide…
The Spectrum of Pluto, 0.40 - 0.93 m I. Secular and longitudinal distribution of ices and complex organics
V. Lorenzi, N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Licandro +4
Context. During the last 30 years the surface of Pluto has been characterized, and its variability has been monitored, through continuous near-infrared spectroscopic observations.…
Distribution of CO2 ice on the large moons of Uranus and evidence for compositional stratification of their near-surfaces
Richard J. Cartwright, Joshua P. Emery, Andy S. Rivkin +2
The surfaces of the large Uranian satellites are characterized by a mixture of H2O ice and a dark, potentially carbon-rich, constituent, along with CO2 ice. At the mean heliocentri…
Rotationally resolved spectroscopy of dwarf planet (136472) Makemake
V. Lorenzi, N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Licandro
Context. Icy dwarf planets are key for studying the chemical and physical states of ices in the outer solar system. The study of secular and rotational variations gives us hints of…
Possible ring material around centaur (2060) Chiron
J. L. Ortiz, R. Duffard, N. Pinilla-Alonso +7
We propose that several short duration events observed in past stellar occultations by Chiron were produced by rings material. From a reanalysis of the stellar occultation data in…
