The binary Kuiper-belt object 1998 WW31

Nature, 2002
The recent discovery of a binary asteroid during a spacecraft fly-by generated keen interest, because the orbital parameters of binaries can provide measures of the masses, and mutual eclipses could allow us to determine individual sizes and bulk densities. Several binary near-Earth, main-belt and Trojan asteroids have subsequently been discovered. The

Surface composition of Kuiper belt object 1993SC.

Science, 1997
The 1.42- to 2.40-micrometer spectrum of Kuiper belt object 1993SC was measured at the Keck Observatory in October 1996. It shows a strongly red continuum reflectance and several prominent infrared absorption features. The strongest absorptions in 1993SC’s spectrum occur near 1.62, 1.79, 1.95, 2.20, and 2.32 micrometers in wavelength ...

Size and albedo of Kuiper belt object 55636 from a stellar occultation

open access: yesNature, 2010
The Kuiper belt is a collection of small bodies (Kuiper belt objects, KBOs) that lie beyond the orbit of Neptune and which are believed to have formed contemporaneously with the planets.

Photometry of Kuiper belt object (486958) Arrokoth from New Horizons LORRI [PDF]

open access: yesIcarus, 2021
On January 1st 2019, the New Horizons spacecraft flew by the classical Kuiper belt object (486958) Arrokoth (provisionally designated 2014 MU69), possibly the most primitive object ever explored by a spacecraft.

The Astonishing Redness of Kuiper-Belt Objects

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1998
The recently reported extreme redness of a class of Kuiper-belt objects could be yet another indirect indication of extraterrestrial microbiology in the outer solar system.

Impact craters on 2014 MU69: Implications for Kuiper belt object size-frequency distributions and planetesimal formation

, 2020
Impact craters in the Pluto system as observed by New Horizons in July of 2015 revealed a previously-unknown deficit of small Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) less than ~1–2 km in diameter (Singer et al....
