Searching for Moving Objects in HSC-SSP: Pipeline and Preliminary Results
Ying-Tung Chen, Hsing-Wen Lin, Mike Alexandersen +6
The Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) is currently the deepest wide- field survey in progress. The 8.2 m aperture of Subaru telescope is very powerful in detect-…
An updated estimate of the number of Jupiter-family comets using a simple fading law
R. Brasser, J. -H. Wang
It has long been hypothesised that the Jupiter-family comets (JFCs) come from the scattered disc, an unstable planetesimal population beyond Neptune. This viewpoint has been widely…
An Oort cloud origin of the Halley-type comets
J. -H. Wang, R. Brasser
The origin of the Halley-type comets (HTCs) is one of the last mysteries of the dynamical evolution of the Solar System. Prior investigation into their origin has focused on two so…
The TAOS Project: Results From Seven Years of Survey Data
Z. -W. Zhang, M. J. Lehner, J. -H. Wang +19
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) aims to detect serendipitous occultations of stars by small (about 1 km diameter) objects in the Kuiper Belt and beyond. Such event…
The TAOS Project: Statistical Analysis of Multi-Telescope Time Series Data
M. J. Lehner, N. K. Coehlo, Z. -W. Zhang +17
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) monitors fields of up to ~1000 stars at 5 Hz simultaneously with four small telescopes to detect occultation events from small (~1…
The TAOS Project: Upper Bounds on the Population of Small KBOs and Tests of Models of Formation and Evolution of the Outer Solar System
F. B. Bianco, Z. -W. Zhang, M. J. Lehner +23
We have analyzed the first 3.75 years of data from TAOS, the Taiwanese American Occultation Survey. TAOS monitors bright stars to search for occultations by Kuiper Belt Objects (KB…
Searching for sub-kilometer TNOs using Pan-STARRS video mode lightcurves: Preliminary study and evaluation using engineering data
J. -H. Wang, P. Protopapas, W. -P. Chen +6
We present a pre-survey study of using Pan-STARRS high sampling rate video mode guide star images to search for TNOs. With suitable selection of the guide stars within the Pan-STAR…
Upper Limits on the Number of Small Bodies in Sedna-Like Orbits by the TAOS Project
J. -H. Wang, M. J. Lehner, Z. -W. Zhang +21
We present the results of a search for occultation events by objects at distances between 100 and 1000 AU in lightcurves from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS). We s…
