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…
3D shape of asteroid (6)~Hebe from VLT/SPHERE imaging: Implications for the origin of ordinary H chondrites
M. Marsset, B. Carry, C. Dumas +15
Context. The high-angular-resolution capability of the new-generation ground-based adaptive-optics camera SPHERE at ESO VLT allows us to assess, for the very first time, the crater…
All planetesimals born near the Kuiper Belt formed as binaries
Wesley C. Fraser, Michele t. Bannister, Rosemary E. Pike +19
The cold classical Kuiper belt objects have low inclinations and eccentricities and are the only Kuiper belt population suspected to have formed in situ. Compared with the dynamica…
Different origins or different evolutions? Decoding the spectral diversity among C-type asteroids
P. Vernazza, J. Castillo-Rogez, P. Beck +15
Anhydrous pyroxene-rich interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) have been proposed as surface analogs for about two-thirds of all C-complex asteroids. However, this suggestion appears…
