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…
Observations of High Galactic Latitude Line and Continuum Emission (912 - 1600 Ã ) with New Horizons
Jayant Murthy, James Overduin, Seth Redfield +5
We present observations of the cosmic ultraviolet background (CUVB) from 912 - 1600 A using the Stem aperture of the Alice spectrograph on the New Horizons spacecraft at 56 AU from…
The Shape of (486958) Arrokoth
Simon B. Porter, Kelsi N. Singer, Paul M. Schenk +6
Here we present an updated shape model of (486958) Arrokoth, the bilobate Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) which the NASA New Horizons spacecraft flew past in 2019. This updated shape mode…
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…
Moving object detection from multi-depth images with an attention-enhanced CNN
Masato Shibukawa, Fumi Yoshida, Toshifumi Yanagisawa +12
One of the greatest challenges for detecting moving objects in the solar system from wide-field survey data is determining whether a signal indicates a true object or is due to som…
A Demonstration of Interstellar Navigation Using New Horizons
Tod R. Lauer, David H. Munro, John R. Spencer +51
As NASA's New Horizons spacecraft exits the Solar System bound for interstellar space, it has traveled so far that the nearest stars have shifted markedly from their positions seen…
