I will have to give a public talk on TNOs in mid-April (including the recent discovery of 2003 UB313 etc.). That will be the local (Hannover, Germany) astronomy club's monthly presentation of an astronomy-related topic.
I already collected some material, but it would be great if you could point me to additional web-based or other sources (publications, review papers) on that topic (eg. origin, nature, ... of TNOs). Thanks, Michael |

Are you familiar with the Distant EKOs electronic newsletter? It is devoted on the TNOs, and has many lists of papers on the subject.

Here's a list of topics you could cover
Population types color vs distance orbital parameters (plutinos, resonances with Neptune, classic, scattered disk) Oddball orbits (maybe affected by a passing star) Size Effect of Milky Way/etc on discovery (harder to look for TNOs near galactic plane) Formation Binaries, by collisions and capture Pluto/Charon/minor moons Pluto's albedo differences New Horizons -------------------- Space Enthusiast Richard Hendricks

Also, you might want to discuss 2003 UB313 as a separate, unique topic, Indeed, the latest findings indicate that it's quite bright, with an unusually uniform surface. Later!
