Deep Drilling Fields for Solar System Science
David E. Trilling, Michele Bannister, Cesar Fuentes +4
We propose an ecliptic Deep Drilling Field that will discover some 10,000~small and faint Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) --- primitive rocky/icy bodies that orbit at the outside of our…
Extreme asteroids in the Pan-STARRS 1 Survey
Andrew McNeill, Alan Fitzsimmons, Robert Jedicke +7
Using the first 18 months of the Pan-STARRS 1 survey we have identified 33 candidate high-amplitude objects for follow-up observations and carried out observations of 22 asteroids.…
The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Objects Survey: Four years of photometry
Audrey Thirouin, Nicholas A. Moskovitz, Richard P. Binzel +10
Over 4.5 years, the Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS) assembled 228 Near-Earth Object (NEO) lightcurves. We report rotational lightcurves for 82 NEOs, constraints…
Main Belt Asteroid Shape Distribution from Gaia DR2
Michael Mommert, Andrew McNeill, David E. Trilling +2
Gaia Data Release 2 includes observational data for 14,099 pre-selected asteroids. From the sparsely sampled G band photometry, we derive lower-limit lightcurve amplitudes for 11,6…
Infrared Lightcurves of Near Earth Objects
Joseph L. Hora, Amir Siraj, Michael Mommert +9
We present lightcurves and derive periods and amplitudes for a subset of 38 near earth objects (NEOs) observed at 4.5 microns with the IRAC camera on the the Spitzer Space Telescop…
Red material on the large moons of Uranus: Dust from irregular satellites?
Richard J. Cartwright, Joshua P. Emery, Noemi Pinilla-Alonso +3
The large and tidally-locked classical moons of Uranus display longitudinal and planetocentric trends in their surface compositions. Spectrally red material has been detected prima…
