The Discovery of Cometary Activity in Near-Earth Asteroid (3552) Don Quixote
Michael Mommert, Joseph L. Hora, Alan W. Harris +8
The near-Earth object (NEO) population, which mainly consists of fragments from collisions between asteroids in the main asteroid belt, is thought to include contributions from sho…
De-biased Populations of Kuiper Belt Objects from the Deep Ecliptic Survey
E. R. Adams, A. A. S. Gulbis, J. L. Elliot +4
The Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) discovered hundreds of Kuiper Belt objects from 1998-2005. Follow-up observations yielded 304 objects with good dynamical classifications (Classical,…
Asteroid spin-axis longitudes from the Lowell Observatory database
E. Bowell, D. A. Oszkiewicz, L. H. Wasserman +3
By analyzing brightness variation with ecliptic longitude and using the Lowell Observatory photometric database, we estimate spin-axis longitudes for more than 350 000 asteroids. H…
Physical Characterization of Warm Spitzer-observed Near-Earth Objects
Cristina A. Thomas, Joshua P. Emery, David E. Trilling +3
Near-infrared spectroscopy of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) connects diagnostic spectral features to specific surface mineralogies. The combination of spectroscopy with albedos and dia…
TNOs are Cool: A Survey of the Transneptunian Region XI: A Herschel-PACS view of 16 Centaurs
R. Duffard, N. Pinilla-Alonso, P. Santos-Sanz +13
Centaurs are the transitional population between trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Jupiter-family comets. For this reason it is possible to access the smaller ones, which is more…
Initial Planetesimal Sizes and the Size Distribution of Small Kuiper Belt Objects
Hilke E. Schlichting, Cesar I. Fuentes, David E. Trilling
We show, by comparing observations with theoretical models, that the observed Kuiper Belt size distribution is well matched by coagulation models, which start from an initial plane…
