Deep Drilling Fields for Solar System Science
David E. Trilling, Michele Bannister, Cesar Fuentes +4
We propose an ecliptic Deep Drilling Field that will discover some 10,000~small and faint Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) --- primitive rocky/icy bodies that orbit at the outside of our…
A Northern Ecliptic Survey for Solar System Science
Megan E. Schwamb, Kathryn Volk, Hsing Wen +12
Making an inventory of the Solar System is one of the four fundamental science requirements for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). The current baseline footprint for LSST'…
Simultaneous LSST and Euclid observations - advantages for Solar System Objects
C. Snodgrass, B. Carry, J. Berthier +17
The ESA Euclid mission is a space telescope that will survey ~15,000 square degrees of the sky, primarily to study the distant universe (constraining cosmological parameters throug…
A near-Sun Solar System Twilight Survey with LSST
Rob Seaman, Paul Abell, Eric Christensen +9
We propose a LSST Solar System near-Sun Survey, to be implemented during twilight hours, that extends the seasonal reach of LSST to its maximum as fresh sky is uncovered at about 5…
Haumea's thermal emission revisited in the light of the occultation results
T. Müller, Cs. Kiss, V. Ali-Lagoa +9
A recent occultation measurement of the dwarf planet Haumea (Ortiz et al. 2017) revealed an elongated shape with the longest axis comparable to Pluto's mean diameter. The chords al…
Spitzer Observations of Interstellar Object 1I/`Oumuamua
DE Trilling, M Mommert, JL Hora +20
1I/`Oumuamua is the first confirmed interstellar body in our Solar System. Here we report on observations of `Oumuamua made with the Spitzer Space Telescope on 2017 November 21--22…
