Visible and Infrared Photometry of Fourteen Kuiper Belt Objects

open access: yesIcarus, 2000
We present V-J colors of 14 Kuiper Belt objects using new infrared (J) data combined, in most cases, with simultaneous visible (V) data. We confirm the V-J vs absolute magnitude relation reported by Jewitt and Luu (1998) for the five objects in their ...

All planetesimals born near the Kuiper belt formed as binaries

open access: yesNature Astronomy, 2017
The cold classical Kuiper belt objects have low inclinations and eccentricities and are the only Kuiper belt population suspected to have formed in situ.

Visible and infrared photometry of Kuiper Belt objects: searching for evidence of trends

open access: yesIcarus, 2003
We present new visible–infrared (V−J) observations of 17 Kuiper Belt objects, of which 14 were observed in the visible and infrared wavebands simultaneously to limit the effects of lightcurve variations. Combining these data with our previously published

Investigating Possible Spindown of Arrokoth by Collisions with Small Classical Kuiper Belt Objects

Introduction: The New Horizons flyby of Arrokoth revealed an ancient, contact binary planetesimal [1,2]. Arrokoth’s both lobes’ respective principal axes are aligned within a few degrees [2], and such configuration suggests a co-orbiting Arrokoth before the coalescence of its two lobes [3].

TNOs are Cool: Analysis of Classical Kuiper Belt Objects from Herschel Space Observatory Data

2012
We present results from the sample analysis of classical Kuiper belt objects (CKBO) observed within the open time key program "TNOs are Cool" [Muller et al. 2009, Earth, Moon, Planets 105] of Herschel Space Observatory. About half of this sample was published in Vilenius et al.
