Probing the regoliths of the classical Uranian satellites: Are their surfaces mantled by a layer of tiny H2O ice grains?
Richard J. Cartwright, Joshua P. Emery, William M. Grundy +3
We investigate whether the surfaces of the classical moons of Uranus are compositionally stratified, with a thin veneer of mostly tiny H2O ice grains (<= 2 micron diameters) mantli…
The changing rotational light-curve amplitude of Varuna and evidence for a close-in satellite
Estela Fernández-Valenzuela, Jose Luis Ortiz, Nicolás Morales +6
From CCD observations carried out with different telescopes, we present short-term photometric measurements of the large trans-Neptunian object Varuna in 10 epochs, spanning around…
Linking the Solar System and Extrasolar Planetary Systems with Radar Astronomy: Infrastructure for "Ground Truth" Comparison
Joseph Lazio, Amber Bonsall, Marina Brozovic +13
Planetary radars have obtained unique science measurements about solar system bodies and they have provided orbit determinations allowing spacecraft to be navigated throughout the…
Visible Analysis of NASA Lucy Mission Targets Eurybates, Polymele, Orus and Donaldjohanson
A. C. Souza-Feliciano, M. De Prá, N. Pinilla-Alonso +7
Jupiter Trojan asteroids are minor bodies that share Jupiter's orbit around the Sun. Although not yet well understood in origin and composition, they have surface properties that,…

D. Anish Roshi, L. D. Anderson, E. Araya +42
The white paper discusses Arecibo Observatory's plan for facility improvements and activities over the next decade. The facility improvements include: (a) improving the telescope s…
Surface properties of large TNOs: Expanding the study to longer wavelengths with the James Webb Space Telescope
Noemí Pinilla-Alonso, John Stansberry, Bryan Holler
The largest trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) represent an extremely diverse collection of primitive bodies in the outer solar system. The community typically refers to these objects…
