The Frequency of Binary Kuiper Belt Objects
We estimate the frequency of widely spaced (separations greater than 0 .5) Kuiper Belt binaries (KBBs) from surveys for new Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) with the Deep Ecliptic Survey and through recovery observations for newly discovered KBOs at the Magellan telescopes. We find the frequency of KBBs versus discovery separation to be related by an inverse power law when combining our results with ...
متن کاملThe extreme Kuiper Belt binary 2001 QW322.
The study of binary Kuiper Belt objects helps to probe the dynamic conditions present during planet formation in the solar system. We report on the mutual-orbit determination of 2001 QW322, a Kuiper Belt binary with a very large separation whose properties challenge binary-formation and -evolution theories. Six years of tracking indicate that the binary's mutual-orbit period is approximately 25...
متن کاملDiscovery and characteristics of the Kuiper belt binary 2003QY90
We present photometric and astrometric results from four epochs of ground-based observations at the Magellan telescopes of the Kuiper belt binary 2003QY90. Resolved observations show both components to be highly variable and often of nearly equal brightness, causing difficulty in distinguishing between the primary and secondary components for observations spaced widely in time. Resolved lightcu...
متن کاملBinary Objects in the Kuiper Belt and Outlying Centaurs: Simulations
Two exchange reaction scenarios to account for the characteristics of Kuiper belt binaries and the orbital data of the centaurs 2000 CR 105 and 2003 VB 12 (Sedna) have recently been proposed. The results from the literature are replicated, and new simulations are reported.
متن کاملThe Albedo , Size , and Density of Binary Kuiper Belt Object ( 47171 ) 1999 TC 36
We measured the system-integrated thermal emission of the binary Kuiper Belt Object (47171) 1999 TC 36 at wavelengths near 24 and 70 µm using the Spitzer space telescope. We fit these data and the visual magnitude using both the Standard Thermal Model and thermophysical models. We find that the effective diameter of the binary is 405 km, with a range of 350 – 470 km, and the effective visible g...
