LCs of the Manwe-Thorondor eclipsing system
Kuiper Belt Object (385446) Manwe-Thorondor is a multiobject system with mutual events predicted to occur from 2014 to 2019. To detect the events, we observed the system at 4... -
Orbital elements of TNOs from the Dark Energy Survey
The outer solar system contains a large number of small bodies (known as trans-Neptunian objects or TNOs) that exhibit diverse types of dynamical behavior. The classification of... -
21 saturnian small moons brightness with ISS
We examine the surface brightnesses of Saturn's smaller satellites using a photometric model that explicitly accounts for their elongated shapes and thus facilitates comparisons... -
Io's hot spots NIR adaptive optics: 2013-2018
We present measurements of the near-infrared brightness of Io's hot spots derived from 2 to 5 {mu}m imaging with adaptive optics on the Keck and Gemini N telescopes. The data... -
Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS) spectroscopy
The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS) aims to observe and characterize small (mean absolute magnitude H~25 mag) Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that are accessible... -
Astrometric positions for (84922) 2003 VS2
We present results from three world-wide campaigns that resulted in the detections of two single-chord and one multi-chord stellar occultations by the plutino object (84922)... -
Col-OSSOS: Properties of outer solar system objects
Both physical and dynamical properties must be considered to constrain the origins of the dynamically excited distant solar system populations. We present high-precision (g-r)... -
Cold Classical TNOs: LCs & rotational properties
We present a survey of the rotational and physical properties of the dynamically low inclination Cold Classical (CC) trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). The CCs are primordial... -
r'-band photometry of comet 96P/Machholz 1
We observed comet 96P/Machholz 1 on a total of nine nights before and after perihelion during its 2017/2018 apparition. Both its unusually small perihelion distance and the... -
Dark spots on Neptune from 25 years of HST images
We scoured the full set of blue-wavelength Hubble Space Telescope images of Neptune, finding one additional dark spot in new Hubble data beyond those discovered in 1989, 1994,... -
Inner Oort cloud survey observations: 2015 TG387
Inner Oort cloud objects (IOCs) are trans-Plutonian for their entire orbits. They are beyond the strong gravitational influences of the known planets, yet close enough to the... -
TNOs and Centaurs observed within the DES
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are a source of invaluable information to access the history and evolution of the outer solar system. However, observing these faint objects is a... -
Comet C/2017 E4 composition with iSHELL at NASA/IRTF
In 2017 April, we acquired comprehensive high-resolution spectra of newly discovered comet C/2017 E4 (Lovejoy) as it approached perihelion, and before its disintegration. We... -
Thermal model fits for short-arc NEOs with NEOWISE
Automated asteroid detection routines set requirements on the number of detections, signal-to-noise ratio, and the linearity of the expected motion in order to balance... -
Resonance sticking in the population of scattering TNOs
A substantial fraction of our solar system's trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are in mean-motion resonance with Neptune. Many of these objects were likely caught into resonances... -
Observations of the main-belt comets 238P & 288P
We report observations of the reactivations of the main-belt comets (MBCs) 238P/Read and 288P/(300163) 2006 VW_139_ that also track the evolution of each object's activity over... -
Absolute reflectance & new calibration site of the Moon
How bright the Moon is forms a simple but fundamental and important question. Although numerous efforts have been made to answer this question such as use of sophisticated... -
Irregular planetary satellites colors & shapes
It is widely recognized that the irregular satellites of the giant planets were captured from initially heliocentric orbits. However, the mechanism of capture and the source... -
Masses of 30 large subject asteroids
The conventional least-squares asteroid mass determination algorithm allows us to solve for the mass of a large subject asteroid that is perturbing the trajectory of a smaller... -
Orbital parameters of Kuiper Belt objects
We measured the mean plane of the Kuiper Belt as a function of semimajor axis. For the classical Kuiper Belt as a whole (the nonresonant objects in the semimajor axis range...
