Water Ice on Kuiper Belt Object 1996 TO66

, 1999
The 1.40-2.40 micron spectrum of Kuiper Belt object (KBO) 1996 TO66 was measured at the Keck Observatory in September 1998. It's spectrum shows the strong absorptions near 1.5 and 2.0 micron characteristic of water ice--the first such detection on a ...

Col-OSSOS: A Compositional Interpretation of Kuiper Belt Spectra

, 2019
International audienceWe propose a new compositional model for Kuiper Belt Objects that can account for many of the observed properties of those bodies, including their colour, and spectral behaviour.

The Kuiper Belt and the Primordial Evolution of the Solar System

, 2002
We discuss the structure of the Kuiper belt as it can be inferred from the first decade of observations. In particular, we focus on its most intriguing properties {like mass de cit, inclination distribution, the apparent existence of an outer edge and ...

Light curves of Kuiper Belt objects and a search for Kuiper Belt binaries

, 2011
We analyze photometric images taken with the Magellan Telescopes in Chile to search for faint moons of known Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs). Although we obtain a null result (zero detections), we are able to estimate an upper limit on the frequency of moons ...
