Detection of Close Kuiper Belt Binaries with HST WFC3

Detection of Close Kuiper Belt Binaries with HST WFC3

Binaries in the Kuiper Belt are common. Here we present our analysis of the Solar System Origins Legacy Survey (SSOLS) to show that using a point-spread function (PSF)-fitting method can roughly double the number of binaries identified in that data set.
