Spectroscopy and thermal modelling of the first interstellar object 1I/2017 U1 'Oumuamua
Alan Fitzsimmons, Colin Snodgrass, Ben Rozitis +7
During the formation and evolution of the Solar System, significant numbers of cometary and asteroidal bodies were ejected into interstellar space. It can be reasonably exp…
Col-OSSOS: Colors of the Interstellar Planetesimal 1I/`Oumuamua
Michele T. Bannister, Megan E. Schwamb, Wesley C. Fraser +10
The recent discovery by Pan-STARRS1 of 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua), on an unbound and hyperbolic orbit, offers a rare opportunity to explore the planetary formation processes of other s…
Col-OSSOS: z Band Photometry Reveals Three Distinct TNO Surface Types
Rosemary E. Pike, Wesley C. Fraser, Megan E. Schwamb +11
Several different classes of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) have been identified based on their optical and near-infrared colors. As part of the Colours of the Outer Solar System O…
OSSOS VI. Striking Biases in the detection of large semimajor axis Trans-Neptunian Objects
Cory Shankman, JJ Kavelaars, Michele Bannister +9
The accumulating, but small, set of large semi-major axis trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) shows an apparent clustering in the orientations of their orbits. This clustering must eith…
The splitting of double-component active asteroid P/2016 J1 (PANSTARRS)
Fernando Moreno, Francisco Pozuelos, Bojan Novakovic +20
We present deep imaging observations, orbital dynamics, and dust tail model analyses of the double-component asteroid P/2016 J1 (J1-A and J1-B). The observations were acquired at t…
