Contemporaneous Multi-Wavelength and Precovery Observations of Active Centaur P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS

Theodore Kareta, Laura M. Woodney, Charles Schambeau +10

Gateway Centaur and Jupiter co-orbital P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS) (Sarid et al. 2019) provides the first opportunity to observe the migration of a Solar System small body from a Centaur or…

Strength In Diversity: Small Bodies as the Most Important Objects in Planetary Sciences

Laura M. Woodney, Andrew S. Rivkin, Walter Harris +9

Small bodies, the unaccreted leftovers of planetary formation, are often mistaken for the leftovers of planetary science in the sense that they are everything else after the planet…

P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS): An Active Centaur in Imminent Transition to the Jupiter Family

Jordan Steckloff, Gal Sarid, Kathryn Volk +5

The recently discovered object P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS) was initially thought to be a Jupiter Trojan asteroid, until dynamical studies and the appearance of persistent cometary activity…

OSSOS XX: The Meaning of Kuiper Belt Colors

David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Mike Alexandersen +9

Observations show that 100-km-class Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) can be divided in (at least) two color groups, hereafter red (R, g-i<1.2) and very red (VR, g-i>1.2), reflecting a di…

OSSOS: The Eccentricity and Inclination Distributions of the Stable Neptunian Trojans

Hsing Wen Lin, Ying-Tung Chen, Kathryn Volk +10

The minor planets on orbits that are dynamically stable in Neptune's 1:1 resonance on Gyr timescales were likely emplaced by Neptune's outward migration. We explore the intrinsic l…
