LiDO: The Large inclination Distant Objects Survey
Mike Alexandersen, Rosemary E. Pike, Ying-Tung Chen +20
Previous trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) discovery surveys targeted the ecliptic plane, where the overall highest density is seen. High-inclination objects spend little time near th…
Discovery and dynamics of a Sedna-like object with a perihelion of 66 au
Ying-Tung Chen, Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Yukun Huang +30
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with large perihelion distances ( au) and semi-major axes ( au) provide insights into the early evolution of the solar system and th…
The Surfaces of Small to Mid-Size Plutinos: Evidence of an Association Between Inclination and Surface Type
Cameron Collyer, Rosemary E. Pike, Ying-Tung Chen +6
Being one of the most populated mean motion resonances (MMR) with Neptune and lying close to the inner boundary of the present day cold classical disk, observations of the orbital…
LiDO: Exploring the Stable Plutino Parameter Space
Samantha M. Lawler, Mark Comte, Rosemary E. Pike +7
We present a publicly available, high-resolution, filled-parameter-space synthetic distribution of the Plutinos, trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) librating in the 3:2 mean-motion res…
The hot main Kuiper belt size distribution from OSSOS
Jean-Marc Petit, Brett Gladman, J. J. Kavelaars +4
Using the absolute detection calibration and abundant detections of the OSSOS (Outer Solar System Origin Survey) project, we provide population measurements for the main Kuiper Bel…
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 ($…
Col-OSSOS: The Two Types of Kuiper Belt Surfaces
Wesley C. Fraser, Rosemary E. Pike Michael Marsset, Megan E. Schwamb +10
The Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (Col-OSSOS) has gathered high quality, near-simultaneous (g-r) and (r-J) colours of 92 Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) with (u-g) an…
Col-OSSOS: Probing Ice Line/Color Transitions within the Kuiper Belt's Progenitor Populations
Laura E. Buchanan, Megan E. Schwamb, Wesley C. Fraser +15
Dynamically excited objects within the Kuiper belt show a bimodal distribution in their surface colors, and these differing surface colors may be a tracer of where these objects fo…
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…
OSSOS XX: The Meaning of Kuiper Belt Colors
David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Mike Alexandersen +9
Observations show that 100-km-class Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) can be divided in (at least) two color groups, hereafter red (R, g-i<1.2) and very red (VR, g-i>1.2), reflecting a di…
OSSOS: The Eccentricity and Inclination Distributions of the Stable Neptunian Trojans
Hsing Wen Lin, Ying-Tung Chen, Kathryn Volk +10
The minor planets on orbits that are dynamically stable in Neptune's 1:1 resonance on Gyr timescales were likely emplaced by Neptune's outward migration. We explore the intrinsic l…
Col-OSSOS: Compositional homogeneity of three Kuiper belt binaries
Michael Marsset, Wesley C. Fraser, Michele T. Bannister +10
The surface characterization of Trans-Neptunian Binaries (TNBs) is key to understanding the properties of the disk of planetesimals from which these objects formed. In the optical…
A Deep Search for Binary TNOs
Rosemary E. Pike, Jayatee Kanwar, Mike Alexandersen +2
The Latitude Density Search utilized Hyper Suprime-Cam on Subaru Telescope to discover 60 moving objects in the outer Solar System, 54 of which have semi-major axes beyond 30 AU. T…
