AGU Special Session: December, 2006 Meeting (San Francisco)
Trans-Neptunian Objects: Observations, Models, and Laboratory Studies (Session P16)
|
The solar system is now known to contain thousands of trans-Neptunian
objects (TNOs), small bodies in the 30-to-50 AU region beyond Neptune, and objects
with even more distant orbits. In recent years TNOs have been the subject of intense
investigation by observers, theorists, and laboratory scientists, all seeking to
understand their physical and chemical properties and evolution. This AGU session
will provide a forum to present recent observations of TNO spectra and colors, and
studies of compositions, physical properties, and environments. AGU participants with
interests in these areas are invited to attend and contribute.
