Recurring Activity Discovered on Quasi-Hilda 2009 DQ118
William J. Oldroyd, Colin Orion Chandler, Chadwick A. Trujillo +10
We have discovered two epochs of activity on quasi-Hilda 2009 DQ118. Small bodies that display comet-like activity, such as active asteroids and active quasi-Hildas, are important…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) II. Observational Strategy and Design
Chadwick A. Trujillo, Cesar Fuentes, David W. Gerdes +19
We present the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) survey strategy including observing cadence for orbit determination, exposure times, field pointings and filter choices. Th…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) VI: first multi-year observations of trans-Neptunian objects
Hayden Smotherman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Stephen K. N. Portillo +25
We present the first set of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) observed on multiple nights in data taken from the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). Of these 110 TNOs, 105 do n…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) III: Survey characterization and simulation methods
Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Hayden Smotherman, Zachary Langford +24
We present a detailed study of the observational biases of the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project's (DEEP) B1 data release and survey simulation software that enables direct statis…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP): V. The Absolute Magnitude Distribution of the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt
Kevin J. Napier, Hsing-Wen Lin, David W. Gerdes +21
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) is a deep survey of the trans-Neptunian solar system being carried out on the 4-meter Blanco telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) IV: Constraints on the shape distribution of bright TNOs
R. Strauss, D. E. Trilling, P. H. Bernardinelli +20
We present the methods and results from the discovery and photometric measurement of 26 bright (VR 24 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) during the first year (2019-20) of the DECa…
