[UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T08:37:10Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-11-10; Comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein), incoming from the Oort cloud, is remarkable in having the brightest (and presumably largest) nucleus of any well-measured comet and having been discovered at the heliocentric distance r h ≈ 29 au, farther than any Oort cloud comet. In this work, we describe ...

[UNESP]; Bertin, E.; Brooks, D.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T08:40:30Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-01-01; We present a search for outer solar system objects in the 6 yr of data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The DES covered a contiguous 5000 deg2 of the southern sky with ≈80,000 3 deg2 exposures in the grizY filters between 2013 and 2019. This search yielded 812 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), one Centa...
