The most distant known object in the Solar System, 2003 UB313 (97 au from the Sun), was recently discovered near its aphelion. Its high eccentricity and inclination to the ecliptic plane, along with its perihelion near the orbit of Neptune, identify it as a member of the ‘scattered disk’. This disk of bodies probably originates in the Kuiper belt objects, which orbit near the ecliptic plane in circular orbits between 30 and 50 au, and may include Pluto as a member. The optical brightness of… Expand

Solar system: A planet more, a planet less?
Further observations of an object dubbed 2003 UB313, which lies beyond Neptune, show that its diameter is around 3,100 kilometres. This makes it larger than Pluto, the smallest ‘traditional’ Solar… Expand
A Pluto-like radius and a high albedo for the dwarf planet Eris from an occultation
TLDR
The observation of a multi-chord stellar occultation by Eris on 6 November 2010 is reported, consistent with a spherical shape for Eris, and it is anticipated that this atmosphere may periodically sublimate as Eris approaches its perihelion, at 37.8 astronomical units from the Sun. Expand
Occultation of X-rays from Scorpius X-1 by small trans-neptunian objects
TLDR
The discovery of such occultation events at millisecond timescales in the X-ray light curve of Scorpius X-1 is reported, in line with an extrapolation of the distribution of sizes of larger TNOs. Expand
Trans-Neptunian Objects as Natural Probes to the Unknown Solar System
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are icy/rocky bodies that move beyond the orbit of Neptune in a region known as the trans-Neptunian belt (or Edgeworth-Kuiper belt). In contrast to the predictions of… Expand
Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs at thermal wavelengths
Abstract The thermal emission of Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs has been observed at mid- and far-infrared wavelengths—with the biggest contributions coming from the Spitzer and Herschel space… Expand
Planetary science: Eris under scrutiny
A stellar occultation by the dwarf planet Eris provides a new estimate of its size. It also reveals a surprisingly bright planetary surface, which could indicate the relatively recent condensation of… Expand
A study of photometric variations on the dwarf planet (136199) Eris
Context. Eris is the largest dwarf planet currently known in the solar system. Knowledge about its physical parameters is necessary to interpret the characteristics of these kinds of bodies. Aims.… Expand
Possible patterns in the distribution of planetary formation regions
Eris, an object larger than Pluto, is known to reside in the transneptunian region further away than Pluto. One can wonder whether its semimajor orbital axis ts in a generalized Titius-Bode law, in… Expand
Polarimetry of the dwarf planet (136199) Eris
Context. We study the surface properties of the transneptunian population of Solar-system bodies. Aims. We investigate the surface characteristics of the large dwarf planet (136199) Eris. Methods.… Expand
The thermal emission of Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian objects at millimeter wavelengths from ALMA observations
The sensitivity of ALMA makes it possible to detect thermal mm/submm emission from small/distant Solar System bodies at the sub-mJy level. Measured fluxes are primarily sensitive to the objects'… Expand
