Hunting for Hydrated Minerals on Trans-Neptunian Objects

Tom Seccull, Wesley C. Fraser, Dominik A. Kiersz +1

We present new optical reflectance spectra of three potentially silicate-rich trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs). These spectra were obtained with the aim of confirming past hints and…

Limits on Optical Counterparts to the Repeating FRB 20180916B from High-speed Imaging with Gemini-N/'Alopeke

Charles D. Kilpatrick, Nicolas Tejos, J. Xavier Prochaska +6

We report on contemporaneous optical observations at ~10 ms timescales from the fast radio burst (FRB) 20180916B of two repeat bursts (FRB 20201023, FRB 20220908) taken with the 'A…

The two rings of (50000) Quaoar

C. L. Pereira, B. Sicardy, B. E. Morgado +66

Quaoar is a classical Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) with an area equivalent diameter of 1,100 km and an orbital semi-major axis of 43.3 astronomical units. Based on stellar occultat…

Keck, Gemini, and Palomar 200-inch visible photometry of red and very-red Neptunian Trojans

B. T. Bolin, C. Fremling, A. Morbidelli +9

Neptunian Trojans (NTs), trans-Neptunian objects in 1:1 mean-motion resonance with Neptune, are generally thought to have been captured from the original trans-Neptunian protoplane…

128383 (2004 JW52) is an Ordinary Jupiter Trojan Asteroid

Tom Seccull

The Jupiter Trojan asteroid 128383 (2004 JW52) was recently reported to have optical colors that are incongruous with its dynamical class. New and archival observations show that t…

Near-UV Reddening Observed in the Reflectance Spectrum of High Inclination Centaur 2012 DR30

Tom Seccull, Wesley C. Fraser, Thomas Puzia

Centaurs with high orbital inclinations and perihelia (i > 60 degrees; q >= 15 au) are a small group of poorly understood minor planets that are predicted to enter the giant planet…
