Stellar occultations enable milliarcsecond astrometry for Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs
F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. Desmars +66
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs are remnants of our planetary system formation, and their physical properties have invaluable information for evolutionary theories. Ste…
Observational Investigation of the 2013 Near-Earth Encounter by Asteroid (367943) Duende
Nicholas Moskovitz, Conor Benson, Daniel Scheeres +20
On 15 February 2013, the asteroid 367943 Duende (2012 DA14) experienced a near-Earth encounter at an altitude of 27,700 km or 4.2 Earth radii. We present here the results of an ext…
Pluto's lower atmosphere and pressure evolution from ground-based stellar occultations, 1988-2016
E. Meza, B. Sicardy, M. Assafin +167
Context. Pluto's tenuous nitrogen (N2) atmosphere undergoes strong seasonal effects due to high obliquity and orbital eccentricity, and has been recently (July 2015) observed by th…
The conjectured S-type retrograde planet in nu Octantis: more evidence including four years of iodine-cell radial velocities
D. J. Ramm, B. E. Nelson, M. Endl +6
We report 1212 radial-velocity (RV) measurements obtained in the years 2009-2013 using an iodine cell for the spectroscopic binary nu Octantis (K1III/IV). This system (a_bin~2.6 au…
Spectroscopic Survey of γ Doradus Stars I. Comprehensive atmospheric parameters and abundance analysis of γ Doradus stars
F. Kahraman-Alicavus, E. Niemczura, P. De Cat +11
We present a spectroscopic survey of known and candidate \,Doradus stars. The high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra of 52 objects were collected by five different spectr…
The Mt John University Observatory Search For Earth-mass Planets In The Habitable Zone Of Alpha Centauri
M. Endl, C. Bergmann, J. Hearnshaw +6
The "holy grail" in planet hunting is the detection of an Earth-analog: a planet with similar mass as the Earth and an orbit inside the habitable zone. If we can find such an Earth…
