We investigate what can be learned about a population of distant Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs)
by studying the statistical properties of their light curves. Whereas others have successfully …

The K2 mission of the Kepler Space Telescope allowed the observations of light curves of
small solar system bodies throughout the whole solar system. In this paper, we present the …

In this review we consider the main rotation regimes that are inherent for planetary satellites
of the Solar System, satellites of trans-Neptunian objects, and potential satellites of …

Abstract About 40 trans-Neptunian binaries (TNBs) have fully determined orbits with about
10 others being solved except for breaking the mirror ambiguity. Despite decades of study …

We present high spatial resolution images of the binary transneptunian object
Gǃkúnǁ'hòmdímà (229762 2007 UK 126) obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope and …

Context. As part of our international program aimed at obtaining accurate physical properties
of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), we predicted a stellar occultation by the TNO (38628) …

The Astrophysics and Space Science Library is a series of high-level monographs and
edited volumes covering a broad range of subjects in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Cosmology …

We combine photometry of Eris from a 6 month campaign on the Palomar 60 inch telescope
in 2015, a 1 month Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 campaign in 2018, and Dark Energy …

The origin of rings around giant planets remains elusive. Saturn's rings are massive and
made of 90–95% of water ice with a mass of∼ 10 19 kg. In contrast, the much less massive …

Abstract The Trojan asteroids of Jupiter and Neptune are likely to have been captured from
original heliocentric orbits in the dynamically excited (" hot") population of the Kuiper Belt …
