Unbiased Inclination Distributions for Objects in the Kuiper Belt by Gulbis, Amanda A. S., Elliot, James L., Adams, Elisabeth Rose, Benecchi, Susan D., Buie, Marc W., Trilling, David E., Wasserman, L. H.

“…Using data from the Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES), we investigate the inclination distributions of objects in the Kuiper Belt. We present a derivation for observational bias removal and use this procedure to generate unbiased inclination distributions for Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) of different DES dynamical classes, with respect to the Kuiper Belt plane. …”

De-biased populations of Kuiper Belt objects from the Deep Ecliptic Survey by Adams, Elisabeth Rose, Benecchi, Susan D., Buie, Marc W., Trilling, D. E., Wasserman, L. H., Gulbis, Amanda A. S., Elliot, James L.

“…The Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) was a survey project that discovered hundreds of Kuiper Belt objects from 1998 to 2005. Extensive follow-up observations of these bodies has yielded 304 objects with well-determined orbits and dynamical classifications into one of several categories: Classical, Scattered, Centaur, or 16 mean-motion resonances with Neptune. …”

The color and binarity of (486958) 2014 MU69 and other long-range New Horizons Kuiper Belt targets by Binzel, Richard P

“…The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) measured the colors of eight Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) that will be observed by the New Horizons spacecraft including its 2019 close fly-by target the Cold Classical KBO (486958) 2014 MU69. …”

Great Expectations: Plans and Predictions for New Horizons Encounter With Kuiper Belt Object 2014 MU 69 (“Ultima Thule”) by Binzel, Richard P

“…The New Horizons encounter with the cold classical Kuiper Belt object 2014 MU69 (informally named “Ultima Thule,” hereafter Ultima) on 1 January 2019 will be the first time a spacecraft has ever closely observed one of the free-orbiting small denizens of the Kuiper Belt. …”

Similar origin for low- and high-albedo Jovian Trojans and Hilda asteroids? by Marsset, M., Vernazza, P., Gourgeot, F., Dumas, C., Lamy, P., Birlan, Mirel, Binzel, Richard P

“…Hilda asteroids and Jupiter Trojans are two low-albedo (p[subscript v] ~ 0.07) populations for which the Nice model predicts an origin in the primordial Kuiper Belt region. However, recent surveys by WISE and the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) have revealed that ~2% of these objects possess high albedos (p[subscript v] ≥ 0.15), which might indicate interlopers – that is, objects not formed in the Kuiper Belt – among these two populations. …”

On the origin & thermal stability of Arrokoth's and Pluto's ices by Lisse, C.M., Young, L.A., Cruikshank, D.P., Sandford, S.A., Schmitt, B., Stern, S.A., Weaver, H.A., Umurhan, O., Pendleton, Y.J., Keane, J.T., Gladstone, G.R., Parker, J.M., Binzel, R.P., Earle, A.M., Horanyi, M., El-Maarry, M.R., Cheng, A.F., Moore, J.M., McKinnon, W.B., Grundy, W.M., Kavelaars, J.J., Linscott, I.R., Lyra, W., Lewis, B.L., Britt, D.T., Spencer, J.R., Olkin, C.B., McNutt, R.L., Elliott, H.A., Dello-Russo, N., Steckloff, J.K., Neveu, M., Mousis, O.

“…© 2020 In this paper we discuss in a thermodynamic, geologically empirical way the long-term nature of the stable majority ices that could be present in Kuiper Belt object (KBO) 2014 MU69 (also called Arrokoth; hereafter “MU69”) after its 4.6 Gyr residence in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt (EKB) as a cold classical object. …”

The Orbit and Density of the Jupiter Trojan Satellite System Eurybates–Queta by Brown, Michael E, Levison, Harold F, Noll, Keith S, Binzel, Richard, Buie, Marc W, Grundy, Will, Marchi, Simone, Olkin, Catherine B, Spencer, John, Statler, Thomas S, Weaver, Harold

“…From this orbit we derive a mass of Eurybates of 1.51 ± 0.03 × 10<jats:sup>17</jats:sup> kg, corresponding to an estimated density of 1.1 ± 0.3 g cm<jats:sup>−3</jats:sup>, broadly consistent with densities measured for other Trojans, C-type asteroids in the outer main asteroid belt, and small icy objects from the Kuiper Belt. Eurybates is the parent body of the only major collisional family among the Jupiter Trojans; its low density suggests that it is a typical member of the Trojan population. …”

CHIMERA: a wide-field, multi-colour, high-speed photometer at the prime focus of the Hale telescope by Harding, L. K., Hallinan, G., Milburn, J., Gardner, P., Konidaris, N., Singh, N., Shao, M., Sandhu, J., Kyne, G., Schlichting, Hilke E

“…CHIMERA was primarily developed to enable the characterization of the size distribution of sub-km Kuiper Belt Objects via stellar occultation, a science case that motivates the frame-rate, the simultaneous multi-colour imaging and the wide field of view of the instrument. …”
