Photometry of outer Solar System objects from the Dark Energy Survey I: photometric methods, light curve distributions and trans-Neptunian binaries
P. H. Bernardinelli, G. M. Bernstein, N. Jindal +47
We report the methods of and initial scientific inferences from the extraction of precision photometric information for the trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) discovered in the…
Photometric Properties of Jupiter Trojans detected by the Dark Energy Survey
DES Collobration, :, Jiaming Pan +55
The Jupiter Trojans are a large group of asteroids that are co-orbiting with Jupiter near its L4 and L5 Lagrange points. The study of Jupiter Trojans is crucial for testing differe…
C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein): the nearly spherical cow of comets
Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Gary M. Bernstein, Benjamin T. Montet +64
C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein) is a comet incoming from the Oort cloud which is remarkable in having the brightest (and presumably largest) nucleus of any well-measured com…
A search of the full six years of the Dark Energy Survey for outer Solar System objects
Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Gary M. Bernstein, Masao Sako +64
We present the results of a search for outer Solar System objects in the full six years of data (Y6) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The DES covered a contiguous deg…
No Evidence for Orbital Clustering in the Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects
K. J. Napier, D. W. Gerdes, Hsing Wen Lin +50
The apparent clustering in longitude of perihelion and ascending node of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs) has been attributed to the gravitational effects of an…
Machine Learning for Searching the Dark Energy Survey for Trans-Neptunian Objects
B. Henghes, O. Lahav, D. W. Gerdes +56
In this paper we investigate how implementing machine learning could improve the efficiency of the search for Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) within Dark Energy Survey (DES) data wh…
Trans-Neptunian objects found in the first four years of the Dark Energy Survey
Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Gary M. Bernstein, Masao Sako +61
We present a catalog of 316 trans-Neptunian bodies detected by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). These objects include 245 discoveries by DES (139 not previously published) detected in…
Astrometry and Occultation predictions to Trans-Neptunian and Centaur Objects observed within the Dark Energy Survey
Martin Banda-Huarca, Julio Camargo, Josselin Desmars +59
Transneptunian objects (TNOs) are a source of invaluable information to access the history and evolution of the outer solar system. However, observing these faint objects is a diff…
Dynamical Analysis of Three Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects with Similar Orbits
T. Khain, J. C. Becker, F. C. Adams +62
This paper reports the discovery and orbital characterization of two extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs), 2016 QV and 2016 QU, which have orbits that appear simil…
Evidence for Color Dichotomy in the Primordial Neptunian Trojan Population
Hsing Wen Lin, David W. Gerdes, Stephanie J. Hamilton +45
In the current model of early Solar System evolution, the stable members of the Jovian and Neptunian Trojan populations were captured into resonance from the leftover reservoir of…
Discovery and Dynamical Analysis of an Extreme Trans-Neptunian Object with a High Orbital Inclination
J. C. Becker, T. Khain, S. J. Hamilton +62
We report the discovery and dynamical analysis of 2015 BP, an extreme Trans-Neptunian Object detected detected by the Dark Energy Survey at a heliocentric distance of 55 AU…
Discovery and Physical Characterization of a Large Scattered Disk Object at 92 AU
David Gerdes, Masao Sako, Stephanie Hamilton +65
We report the observation and physical characterization of the possible dwarf planet \UZ\ ("DeeDee"), a dynamically detached trans-Neptunian object discovered at 92 AU. This object…
Observation of Two New L4 Neptune Trojans in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Fields
D. W. Gerdes, R. J. Jennings, G. M. Bernstein +62
We report the discovery of the eighth and ninth known Trojans in stable orbits around Neptune's leading Lagrange point, L4. The objects 2014 QO and 2014 QP were det…
