Sublimation Origin of Active Asteroid P/2018 P3
Yoonyoung Kim, Jessica Agarwal, David Jewitt +4
Active asteroids show (typically transient) cometary activity, driven by a range of processes. A sub-set, sometimes called main-belt comets, may be driven by sublimation and so cou…
Characterization of Near-Earth Asteroids using KMTNet-SAAO
N. Erasmus, M. Mommert, D. E. Trilling +3
We present here VRI spectrophotometry of 39 near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) observed with the Sutherland, South Africa, node of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet). Of th…
NEOSurvey 1: Initial results from the Warm Spitzer Exploration Science Survey of Near Earth Object Properties
David E. Trilling, Michael Mommert, Joseph Hora +6
Near Earth Objects (NEOs) are small Solar System bodies whose orbits bring them close to the Earth's orbit. We are carrying out a Warm Spitzer Cycle 11 Exploration Science program…
Physical Properties of Near-Earth Asteroid 2011 MD
M. Mommert, D. Farnocchia, J. L. Hora +7
We report on observations of near-Earth asteroid 2011 MD with the Spitzer Space Telescope. We have spent 19.9 h of observing time with channel 2 (4.5 μm) of the Infrared Array Came…
"TNOs are Cool": A survey of the trans-Neptunian region X. Analysis of classical Kuiper belt objects from Herschel and Spitzer observations
E. Vilenius, C. Kiss, T. Müller +14
The classical Kuiper belt contains objects both from a low-inclination, presumably primordial, distribution and from a high-inclination dynamically excited population. Based on a s…
"TNOs are Cool": A survey of the trans-Neptunian region -- VII. Size and surface characteristics of (90377) Sedna and 2010 EK139
András Pál, Csaba Kiss, Thomas G. Müller +14
We present estimates of the basic physical properties (size and albedo) of (90377) Sedna, a prominent member of the detached trans-Neptunian object population and the recently disc…
