Perspectives on the distribution of orbits of distant Trans-Neptunian Objects
JJ Kavelaars, Samantha M. Lawler, Michele T. Bannister +1
Looking at the orbits of small bodies with large semimajor axes, we are compelled to see patterns. Some of these patterns are noted as strong indicators of new or hidden processes…
OSSOS. VII. 800+ trans-Neptunian objects - the complete data release
Michele T. Bannister, Brett J. Gladman, J. J. Kavelaars +33
The Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS), a wide-field imaging program in 2013-2017 with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, surveyed 155 deg of sky to depths of $m_r =…
OSSOS. VIII. The Transition Between Two Size Distribution Slopes in the Scattering Disk
S. M. Lawler, C. Shankman, JJ. Kavelaars +9
The scattering trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) can be measured to smaller sizes than any other distant small-body population. We use the largest sample yet obtained, 68 discoveries,…
OSSOS: X. How to use a Survey Simulator: Statistical Testing of Dynamical Models Against the Real Kuiper Belt
S. M. Lawler, JJ. Kavelaars, M. Alexandersen +4
All surveys include observational biases, which makes it impossible to directly compare properties of discovered trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) with dynamical models. However, by c…
OSSOS VI. Striking Biases in the detection of large semimajor axis Trans-Neptunian Objects
Cory Shankman, JJ Kavelaars, Michele Bannister +9
The accumulating, but small, set of large semi-major axis trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) shows an apparent clustering in the orientations of their orbits. This clustering must eith…
OSSOS: V. Diffusion in the orbit of a high-perihelion distant Solar System object
Michele T. Bannister, Cory Shankman, Kathryn Volk +12
We report the discovery of the minor planet 2013 SY, on an exceptionally distant, highly eccentric orbit. With a perihelion of 50.0 au, 2013 SY's orbit has a semi-maj…
