Multicolor Photometry of Trans-neptunian Objects
Icarus, 2001Abstract We are continuing our photometric survey of the trans-neptunian and Centaur populations started in 1997. We report multicolor photometry for 17 objects. With these results combined with previous data (M. A. Barucci, A. Doressoundiram, M. Fulchignoni, D. Tholen, and M. Lazzarin 1999. Icarus 142 , 476–481; M. A. Barucci, J.

The presence, the physical and dynamical properties, the chemical composition and the possible origin of Trans Neptunians small bodies are reviewd. The enrichment of dust by collisions among TNOs in the Kuiper Belt is also discussed.

Surveys in Geophysics, 1997
Since the periodicity of comets was first established by Halley, the question of their origin has fascinated astronomers. It is clear that they have to be stored somewhere, since their life time in the inner Solar System is short. Around 1950 the idea emerged that cometary nuclei could be stored in a belt beyond Neptune, and this belt became known as ...

Trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) are believed to be pristine remnants of planets formation, providing constrains on the early stages of the solar system evolution. The knowledge of this population composition and dynamics provides constrains on the formation processes of the early solar nebula, as well as formation processes of other planetary systems ...

HST Photometry of trans-Neptunian Objects
Earth, Moon, and Planets, 2003From July 2001 to June 2002, an HST snapshot program obtained V, R and I photometry for 72 TNOs. The TNOs were sorted by dynamical class, and Spearman rank correlation statistics were calculated for each combination of color and orbital parameter. No strong correlations were found for the combined sample of TNOs, the resonant TNOs, or the non-resonant ...

Trans-Neptunian Object discoveries at KMTNet-CTIO
2022<p>We report a multi-opposition discovery of 17 Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) with the Chilean node of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet-CTIO) which has a 1.6 m wide-field optical telescope covering 2x2 square degree field of view. The first survey observations were made with 4 fields around (RA,DEC = 197.6&#176;, -

Resonant Periodic Orbits of Trans-Neptunian Objects
Earth, Moon, and Planets, 2002We study two and three-dimensional resonant periodic orbits, usingthe model of the restricted three-body problem with the Sun andNeptune as primaries. The position and the stability character ofthe periodic orbits determine the structure of the phase space andthis will provide useful information on the stability and longterm evolution of trans ...

For a very long period of time our solar system was believed to comprise nine planets: the terrestrial planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, followed by the gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The exotic and tiny Pluto brought up the rear. Pluto was demoted from its planet status in 2006. Thus, only eight planets remain.

The trans-neptunian object UB313 is larger than Pluto
Nature, 2006The most distant known object in the Solar System, 2003 UB313 (97 au from the Sun), was recently discovered near its aphelion. Its high eccentricity and inclination to the ecliptic plane, along with its perihelion near the orbit of Neptune, identify it as a member of the 'scattered disk'.

Exploring Trans-Neptunian Objects with Interstellar Probe
Introduction. Interstellar Probe is a NASA Heliophysics Division mission concept that would leave the solar system on a 50-year prime mission with a primary objective to study the heliosphere and the local interstellar medium (>200 au; Brandt et al., 2020).Kirby Runyon +2 more
