We investigate what can be learned about a population of distant Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs)
by studying the statistical properties of their light curves. Whereas others have successfully …

Context. The Centaur (10199) Chariklo has the first ring system discovered around a small
object. It was first observed using stellar occultation in 2013. Stellar occultations allow sizes …

The outbursts of comets, sudden large increases in their luminosity, are still very interesting
and mysterious signs of activity of this celestial bodies. Most of the cometary outbursts are …

We use data from five stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2016 to constrain
Chariklo's size and shape, and the ring reflectivity. We consider four possible models for …

Dense and narrow rings have been discovered recently around the small Centaur object
Chariklo and the dwarf planet Haumea, while being suspected around the Centaur Chiron …

Two narrow and dense rings (called C1R and C2R) were discovered around the Centaur
object (10199) Chariklo during a stellar occultation observed on 2013 June 3. Following this …

Context. A stellar occultation observed on 3rd June 2013 revealed the presence of two
dense and narrow rings separated by a small gap around the Centaur object (10 199) …

The discovery of two thin rings around the∼ 250 km sized Centaur Chariklo was the first of
its kind, and their formation and evolutionary mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we …

Observations in 2013 and 2014 of the Centaur 10199 Chariklo and its ring system
consistently indicated that the radial width of the inner, more massive ring varies with …

In 1977, while Apple II and Atari computers were being sold, a tiny dot was observed in an
inconvenient orbit. The minor body 1977 UB, to be named (2060) Chiron, with an orbit …
