    Photometry of Outer Solar System Objects from the Dark Energy Survey. II. A Joint Analysis of Trans-Neptunian Absolute Magnitudes, Colors, Light Curves and Dynamics
    For the 696 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with absolute magnitudes 5.5 < H r < 8.2 detected in the Dark Energy Survey, we characterize the relationships...

    Rotational fission of trans-Neptunian objects: the case of Haumea
    We present several lines of evidence, based on different kinds of observations, and we conclude that it is likely that rotational fission has occurred for a...

    Size and shape of the trans-Neptunian object (470316) 2007 OC10: Comparison with thermal data
    Context. The shapes of only 12 trans-Neptunian objects have been directly measured, offering crucial insights into their internal structure. These properties...

    Spectral Diversity of DiSCo's TNOs Revealed by JWST: Early Sculpting and Late Irradiation
    The spectral diversity of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) is crucial for understanding the processes that led to the formation and evolution of planetesimals in...

    Spectroscopy of the binary TNO Mors-Somnus with the JWST and its relationship to the cold classical and plutino subpopulations observed in the DiSCo-TNO project
    Context. Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are remnants of small icy bodies from planetary formation that orbit in the region beyond Neptune. Within the population...

    The surface of (136108) Haumea (2003 EL{61}), the largest carbon-depleted object in the trans-Neptunian belt
    Context: Previously known as 2003 EL{61}, (136108) Haumea, is the largest member of a group of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with similar orbits and “unique”...
