The Size Distribution of Trans-neptunian Bodies
We search 0.02 deg of the invariable plane for trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) 25 AU or more distant using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. With 22 ks per pointing, the search is more than 50% complete for m606W 29:2. Three new objects are discovered, the faintest with mean magnitude m 1⁄4 28:3 (diameter 25 km), which is 3 mag fainter than any previously w...
متن کاملSearch for Small Trans-Neptunian Objects by the TAOS Project
The Taiwan-America Occultation Survey (TAOS) aims to determine the number of small icy bodies in the outer reach of the Solar System by means of stellar occultation. An array of 4 robotic small (D=0.5 m), wide-field (f/1.9) telescopes have been installed at Lulin Observatory in Taiwan to simultaneously monitor some thousand of stars for such rare occultation events. Because a typical occultatio...
متن کاملNew 3D thermal evolution model for icy bodies application to trans-Neptunian objects
Context. Thermal evolution models have been developed over the years to investigate the evolution of thermal properties based on the transfer of heat fluxes or transport of gas through a porous matrix, among others. Applications of such models to trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs has shown that these bodies could be strongly differentiated from the point of view of chemistry (i.e. los...
متن کاملThe evolution of bodies orbiting in the trans-Neptunian region on to intermediate-type orbits
We investigate the dynamical evolution of 210 hypothetical massless bodies initially situated between 10 and 30 au from the Sun in order to determine the general characteristics of the evolved system. This is of particular relevance to the understanding of the origin of Edgeworth±Kuiper belt objects on scattered intermediate orbits, such as 1996TL66, which have high eccentricity and semimajor a...
متن کاملFormation and migration of trans-Neptunian objects
s of the Conference ”Celestial Mechanics 2002: Results and Prospects” (10 14 September 2002, St. Petersburg, Russia), Institute of Applied Astronomy of Russian Academy of Sciences. We support the Eneev’s idea [1] that the largest (with diameter d>100 km) trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) moving now in not very eccentric orbits could be formed directly by the compression of rarefied dust condensati...
