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…
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…
Centaur Nuclei: Sizes, Shapes, Spins, and Structure
Y. R. Fernandez, M. W. Buie, P. Lacerda +1
We present a wide-ranging but in-depth analysis of Centaurs, focusing on their physical and structural aspects. Centaurs, originating from the Scattered Disk and Kuiper Belt, play…
Characterization of the Deep, Extended Kuiper Belt in the Galactic Disk
Susan D. Benecchi, Simon B. Porter, Anne J. Verbiscer +11
We propose a Roman Space Telescope survey to investigate fundamental properties of the distant solar system in the region of the Kuiper Belt where object characteristics and the si…
An Extremely Deep Rubin Survey to Explore the Extended Kuiper Belt and Identify Objects Observable by New Horizons
JJ Kavelaars, Marc W. Buie, Wesley C. Fraser +22
A proposed Vera C. Rubin Observatory Deep Drilling micro-survey of the Kuiper Belt will investigate key properties of the distant solar system. Utilizing 30 hours of Rubin time acr…
Occultation constraints on solar system formation models
Marc W. Buie, John M. Keller, David Nesvorny +1
The process by which a system of non-luminous bodies form around a star is fundamental to understanding the origins of our own solar system and how it fits into the context of othe…
