Kilometre-scale Jovian moon characterized for a potential JUICE flyby
Juan Luis Rizos, Jose Maria Gomez-Limon, Yucel Kilic +51
The paper presents new observations of Jupiter’s irregular moon Kallichore, using Hubble, ground‑based telescopes and stellar occultations to refine its orbit, size, shape and surf…
The Large Smooth Patch on Comet 9P/Tempel 1: Remnant of a Recent Past Event
J. L. Rizos, T. L. Farnham, J. Kloos +2
We present a comprehensive reassessment of the region containing the large smooth patch on comet 9P/Tempel 1, leveraging data from the Deep Impact and Stardust-NExT missions, an up…
Probing close-in satellites of Trans-Neptunian Objects through thermal and direct size measurements
J. M. Gómez-Limón, R. Leiva, J. L. Ortiz +6
Context: Trans-Neptunian objects are distant bodies that retain valuable information about the origin and evolution of the Solar System. Many of these objects constitute binary sys…
The trans-Neptunian object (119951) 2002 KX14 revealed via multiple stellar occultations
J. L. Rizos, J. L. Ortiz, F. L. Rommel +55
(119951) 2002 KX14 is a large classical TNO with limited previous observations and unresolved questions regarding its physical properties. Five stellar occultations by 2002 KX14 we…
Constraining the size, shape, and albedo of the large Trans-Neptunian Object (28978) Ixion with multi-chord stellar occultations
Y. Kilic, F. Braga-Ribas, C. L. Pereira +81
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are among the most primitive remnants of the early Solar System, and constraining their sizes, shapes, albedos, and surface properties is essential f…
JWST occultation reveals unforeseen complexity in Chariklo's ring system
Pablo Santos-Sanz, Altair R. Gomes-Júnior, Bruno E. Morgado +25
Ring systems have been discovered around several small bodies in the outer Solar System through stellar occultations. While such measurements provide key information about ring geo…
