A low-inclination neutral Trans-Neptunian Object in a extreme orbit

Ying-Tung Chen, Marielle R. Eduardo, Marco A. Muñoz-Gutiérrez +3

We present photometric observations and numerical simulations of 2016 SD, a low inclination () extreme trans-Neptunian Object with a large semi-major axis ($…

FOSSIL: I. The Spin Rate Limit of Jupiter Trojans

Chan-Kao Chang, Ying-Tung Chen, Wesley C. Fraser +25

Rotation periods of 53 small (diameters km) Jupiter Trojans (JTs) were derived using the high-cadence light curves obtained by the FOSSIL phase I survey, a Subaru/Hype…

OSSOS finds an Exponential Cutoff in the Size Distribution of the Cold Classical Kuiper belt

JJ Kavelaars, Jean-Marc Petit, Brett Gladman +5

The cold main classical Kuiper Belt consists of those non-resonant small solar system bodies with low orbital inclinations and orbital semi-major axes between 42.4 and 47.7 au. The…

Discovery of Carbon Monoxide in Distant Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS)

Bin Yang, David Jewitt, Yuhui Zhao +3

Optical observations of the Oort cloud comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) show that its activity began at large heliocentric distances (up to 35 au), which cannot be explained by either t…

Collision Probabilities in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt

Abedin Y. Abedin, JJ Kavelaars, Sarah Greenstreet +8

Here, we present results on the intrinsic collision probabilities, , and range of collision speeds, , as a function of the heliocentric distance, , in the trans-Neptu…

Col-OSSOS: The Distinct Colour Distribution of Single and Binary Cold Classical KBOs

Wesley C. Fraser, Susan D. Benecchi, JJ Kavelaars +11

The cold classical Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) possess a high, binary fraction. Widely separated and dynamically fragile, these binary systems have been useful in trac…
