The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). VII. The Strengths of Three Superfast Rotating Main-belt Asteroids from a Preliminary Search of DEEP Data
Ryder Strauss, Andrew McNeill, David E. Trilling +19
Superfast rotators (SFRs) are small solar system objects that rotate faster than generally possible for a cohesionless rubble pile. Their rotational characteristics allow us to mak…
The Active Asteroids Citizen Science Program: Overview and First Results
Colin Orion Chandler, Chadwick A. Trujillo, William J. Oldroyd +20
We present the Citizen Science program Active Asteroids and describe discoveries stemming from our ongoing project. Our NASA Partner program is hosted on the Zooniverse online plat…
Recurring Activity Discovered on Quasi-Hilda 2009 DQ118
William J. Oldroyd, Colin Orion Chandler, Chadwick A. Trujillo +10
We have discovered two epochs of activity on quasi-Hilda 2009 DQ118. Small bodies that display comet-like activity, such as active asteroids and active quasi-Hildas, are important…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) II. Observational Strategy and Design
Chadwick A. Trujillo, Cesar Fuentes, David W. Gerdes +19
We present the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) survey strategy including observing cadence for orbit determination, exposure times, field pointings and filter choices. Th…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) VI: first multi-year observations of trans-Neptunian objects
Hayden Smotherman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Stephen K. N. Portillo +25
We present the first set of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) observed on multiple nights in data taken from the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). Of these 110 TNOs, 105 do n…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) III: Survey characterization and simulation methods
Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Hayden Smotherman, Zachary Langford +24
We present a detailed study of the observational biases of the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project's (DEEP) B1 data release and survey simulation software that enables direct statis…
