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…
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…
The Reflectance of Cold Classical Trans-Neptunian Objects in the Nearest Infrared
Tom Seccull, Wesley C. Fraser, Thomas H. Puzia
Recent photometric surveys of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) have revealed that the cold classical TNOs have distinct z-band color characteristics, and occupy their own distinct su…
