Year six photometric measurements of known Trans-Neptunian Objects and Centaurs by the Dark Energy Survey [PDF]

We identified known Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) and Centaurs in the complete Dark Energy Survey (DES) year six catalogue (DES Y6) through the Sky Body Tracker (SkyBoT) tool.

A Near-infrared Survey of Candidate Haumea Family Members

The Astronomical Journal
The Haumea family is the only known dynamical family in the trans-Neptunian region. To date, 10 family members have been unambiguously identified using near-infrared (NIR) spectral or photometric data in combination with their strong dynamical proximity ...

Thermal properties of Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs from combined Herschel and Spitzer observations

, 2012
We present a study of the thermal properties of about 70 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs observed with Herschel Space Observatory [8] (either PACS or PACS and SPIRE) and Spitzer Space Telescope [12] (MIPS).

Absolute magnitudes and phase coefficients of trans-Neptunian objects

, 2017
Accurate measurements of diameters of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are extremely difficult to obtain. Thermal modeling can provide good results, but accurate absolute magnitudes are needed to constrain the thermal models and derive diameters and ...

The Inner Kernel of the Classical Kuiper Belt

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The “kernel” of the classical Kuiper Belt was discovered by Petit et al. as a visual overdensity of objects with low ecliptic inclinations and eccentricities at semimajor axes near ∼44 au.

Early Stellar Flybys are Unlikely: Improved Constraints from Sednoids and Large-q Trans-Neptunian Objects

The Astrophysical Journal
Sedna-like objects (a.k.a. sednoids) are trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) characterized by large semimajor axes and exceptionally high perihelia. Their high- q orbits are detached from the influence of the four giant planets and need extra perturbation to ...

NICS-TNG infrared spectroscopy of trans-neptunian objects 2000 EB173 and 2000 WR106

, 2001
We report complete near-infrared (0.9-2.4 μm) spectral observations of trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) 2000 EB173 and 2000 WR106 collected using the new Near Infrared Camera Spectrometer (NICS) attached to the 3.56 m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG).
