Taxonomy and densities of Trans-Neptunian objects

, 2010
A Large Programme at ESO has been devoted to the investigation of Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian Objects. In this framework the photometric colors and the light curves of selected targets have been acquired. Here we present and discuss all the results obtained from the photometric technique.

Spectral Characterization of the Organic- and Methanol-rich Cliff-type Trans-Neptunian Objects

The Astronomical Journal
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) harbor pristine materials from the early solar system. The James Webb Space Telescope offers major insights into the spectral classification of these small bodies.

The Effect of Massive Trans-Neptunian Objects in the Long-term Evolution and Leakage Rates of Neptune’s 3:2 and 2:1 Mean Motion Resonances

The Astronomical Journal
The current populations trapped in Neptune’s main mean motion resonances in the Kuiper Belt, Plutinos in the 3:2 and Twotinos in the 2:1, contain some of the best-characterized minor objects in the solar system, given their dynamical importance.

Discovery of a Dwarf Planet Candidate in an Extremely Wide Orbit: 2017 OF201

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report the discovery of a dwarf planet candidate, 2017 OF201, currently located at a distance of 90 au. Its orbit is extremely wide and extends to the inner Oort cloud, with a semimajor axis of 830 au and a perihelion of 45 au, precisely determined ...
