Tidally locked rotation of the dwarf planet (136199) Eris discovered from long-term ground based and space photometry
R. Szakáts, Cs. Kiss, J. L. Ortiz +9
The rotational states of the members in the dwarf planet - satellite systems in the transneptunian region are determined by the formation conditions and the tidal interaction betwe…
Light curves of transneptunian objects from the K2 mission of the Kepler Space Telescope
Viktória Kecskeméthy, Csaba Kiss, Róbert Szakáts +10
The K2 mission of the Kepler Space Telescope allowed the observations of light curves of small solar system bodies throughout the whole Solar system. In this paper we present the r…
Rotation periods and shape asphericity in asteroid families based on TESS S1-S13 observations
Gyula M. Szabó, András Pál, László Szigeti +13
Here we present the analysis of the distribution of rotation periods and light curve amplitudes based on 2859 family asteroids in 16 Main Belt families based on 9912 TESS asteroid…
Herschel-PACS photometry of Uranus' five major moons
Ö. H. Detre, T. G. Müller, U. Klaas +3
Aims. We aim to determine far-infrared fluxes at 70, 100, and 160m of the five major Uranus satellites Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel and Miranda, based on observations with th…
The large Trans-Neptunian Object 2002 TC from combined stellar occultation, photometry and astrometry data
J. L. Ortiz, P. Santos-Sanz, B. Sicardy +78
On 28th January 2018, the large Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) 2002TC302 occulted a m15.3 star with ID 130957813463146112 in the Gaia DR2 stellar catalog. 12 positive occultati…
Thermal properties of large main-belt asteroids observed by Herschel PACS
V. Alí-Lagoa, T. G. Müller, C. Kiss +11
Non-resolved thermal infrared observations enable studies of thermal and physical properties of asteroid surfaces provided the shape and rotational properties of the target are wel…
TNOs are Cool! A Survey of the transneptunian Region XV. Physical characteristics of 23 resonant transneptunian and scattered disk objects
A. Farkas-Takács, Cs. Kiss, E. Vilenius +7
The goal of this work is to determine the physical characteristics of resonant, detached and scattered disk objects in the transneptunian region, observed mainly in the framework o…
Light curves of ten Centaurs from K2 measurements
G. Marton, Cs. Kiss, L. Molnár +12
Here we present the results of visible range light curve observations of ten Centaurs using the Kepler Space Telescope in the framework of the K2 mission. Well defined periodic lig…
Rotational properties of Hilda asteroids observed by the K2 mission
Gyula M. Szabó, Csaba Kiss, Róbert Szakáts +7
Hilda asteroids orbit at the outer edge, or just outside of the Main Belt, occupying the 2:3 mean motion resonance with Jupiter. It is known that the group shows a mixed taxonomy t…
Solar System objects observed with TESS -- First data release: bright main-belt and Trojan asteroids from the Southern Survey
András Pál, Róbert Szakáts, Csaba Kiss +10
Compared with previous space-borne surveys, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) provides a unique and new approach to observe Solar System objects. While its primary m…
The mass and density of the dwarf planet (225088) 2007 OR10
Csaba Kiss, Gabor Marton, Alex H. Parker +10
The satellite of (225088) 2007 OR10 was discovered on archival Hubble Space Telescope images and along with new observations with the WFC3 camera in late 2017 we have been able to…
Haumea's thermal emission revisited in the light of the occultation results
T. Müller, Cs. Kiss, V. Ali-Lagoa +9
A recent occultation measurement of the dwarf planet Haumea (Ortiz et al. 2017) revealed an elongated shape with the longest axis comparable to Pluto's mean diameter. The chords al…
Small Bodies Near and Far (SBNAF): a benchmark study on physical and thermal properties of small bodies in the Solar System
T. G. Müller, A. Marciniak, C. Kiss +15
The combination of visible and thermal data from the ground and astrophysics space missions is key to improving the scientific understanding of near-Earth, main-belt, trojans, cent…
Discovery of a satellite of the large trans-Neptunian object (225088) 2007OR10
Csaba Kiss, Gábor Marton, Anikó Farkas-Takács +6
