TNOs are Cool: A survey of the trans-Neptunian region V. Physical characterization of 18 Plutinos using Herschel PACS observations
Michael Mommert, A. W. Harris, C. Kiss +18
We present Herschel PACS photometry of 18 Plutinos and determine sizes and albedos for these objects using thermal modeling. We analyze our results for correlations, draw conclusio…

"TNOs are cool": A survey of the trans-neptunian region. II. The thermal lightcurve of (136108) Haumea
E. Lellouch, C. Kiss, P. Santos-Sanz +33
Thermal emission from Kuiper Belt object (136108) Haumea was measured with Herschel-PACS at 100 and 160 micrometers for almost a full rotation period. Observations clearly indicate…

"TNOs are Cool": A survey of the trans-Neptunian region I. Results from the Herschel Science Demonstration Phase (SDP)
T. G. Mueller, E. Lellouch, J. Stansberry +32
The goal of the Herschel Open Time Key programme "TNOs are Cool!" is to derive the physical and thermal properties for a large sample of Centaurs and trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs)…
