Beyond Point Masses. V. Weywot's Non-Keplerian Orbit

Benjamin Proudfoot, Will Grundy, Darin Ragozzine +1

We present a detailed dynamical analysis of the Quaoar-Weywot system based on nearly 20 years of high-precision astrometric data, including new HST observations and stellar occulta…

JWST occultation reveals unforeseen complexity in Chariklo's ring system

Pablo Santos-Sanz, Altair R. Gomes-Júnior, Bruno E. Morgado +25

Ring systems have been discovered around several small bodies in the outer Solar System through stellar occultations. While such measurements provide key information about ring geo…

A high geometric albedo and small size of the Haumea cluster member (24835) 1995 SM55 from a stellar occultation and photometric observations

J. L. Ortiz, N. Morales, B. Sicardy +98

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are among the most ancient bodies of the solar system. Understanding their physical properties is key to constraining their origin and the evolution…

JWST/NIRSpec Observations of Salacia-Actaea and Máni: Exploring Population-level Trends among Water-ice-rich Kuiper Belt Objects

Ian Wong, Bryan J. Holler, Silvia Protopapa +9

We present observations of the midsized Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) SalaciaActaea and Máni, obtained with the Near-Infrared Spectrograph on JWST. The satellite Actaea was fully b…

Modeling long-term photometric data of trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs

Estela Fernández-Valenzuela

Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs are small solar system bodies that reside in the outer parts of the solar system. These objects present photometric behaviours that are influen…

Activity of (2060) Chiron possibly caused by impacts?

Stefan Cikota, Estela Fernández-Valenzuela, Jose Luis Ortiz +5

The centaur 95P/(2060) Chiron is showing comet-like activity since its discovery, but the mass-loss mechanisms triggering its activity remained unexplained. Although the collision…

2008 OG: A highly elongated Trans-Neptunian Object

Estela Fernández-Valenzuela, Jose Luis Ortiz, René Duffard +2

From two observing runs during the 2014 summer at Calar Alto Observatory in Almería (Spain) and at Sierra Nevada Observatory in Granada (Spain), we were able to derive CCD photomet…

Short-term variability of comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) at 4.8 AU from the Sun

Pablo Santos-Sanz, José Luis Ortiz, Nicolás Morales +4

We observed comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) during six nights in February 2013 when it was at 4.8 AU from the sun. At this distance and time the comet was not very active and it was theoret…
