First multi-opposition recoveries of large-orbit LSST TNOs

Chantal Hemmann, Brett Gladman, Justine Obidowski +2

We report 2026 CFHT second-opposition recovery observations of three large-orbit Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) discovered by the Vera C. Rubin Telescope's Legacy Survey of Space a…

An Extremely Deep Rubin Survey to Explore the Extended Kuiper Belt and Identify Objects Observable by New Horizons

JJ Kavelaars, Marc W. Buie, Wesley C. Fraser +22

A proposed Vera C. Rubin Observatory Deep Drilling micro-survey of the Kuiper Belt will investigate key properties of the distant solar system. Utilizing 30 hours of Rubin time acr…

Retrograde predominance of small saturnian moons reiterates a recent retrograde collisional disruption

Edward Ashton, Brett Gladman, Mike Alexandersen +1

We report the discovery and careful orbital determination of 64 new irregular moons of Saturn found in images taken using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope from 2019-2021, bringin…

The hot main Kuiper belt size distribution from OSSOS

Jean-Marc Petit, Brett Gladman, J. J. Kavelaars +4

Using the absolute detection calibration and abundant detections of the OSSOS (Outer Solar System Origin Survey) project, we provide population measurements for the main Kuiper Bel…

OSSOS. XXIX. The Population and Perihelion Distribution of the Detached Kuiper Belt

Matthew Beaudoin, Brett Gladman, Yukun Huang +4

The detached transneptunian objects (TNOs) are those with semimajor axes beyond the 2:1 resonance with Neptune, which are neither resonant nor scattering. Using the detached sample…

A Rogue Planet Helps Populate the Distant Kuiper Belt

Yukun Huang, Brett Gladman, Matthew Beaudoin +1

The orbital distribution of transneptunian objects (TNOs) in the distant Kuiper Belt (with semimajor axes beyond the 2:1 resonance, roughly =50-100 au) provides constraints on t…
