A large topographic feature on the surface of the trans-Neptunian object (307261) 2002 MS measured from stellar occultations

F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. L. Ortiz +201

This work aims at constraining the size, shape, and geometric albedo of the dwarf planet candidate 2002 MS4 through the analysis of nine stellar occultation events. Using multichor…

The QUEST RR Lyrae Survey: Confirmation of the Clump at 50 kpc and Other Over-Densities in the Outer Halo

A. K. Vivas, R. Zinn, P. Andrews +33

We have measured the periods and light curves of 148 RR Lyrae variables from V=13.5 to 19.7 from the first 100 sq. degrees of the QUEST RR Lyrae survey. Approximately 55% of these…
