摘要:

冷的经典柯伊伯带天体(KBO)具有很高的$\gtrsim30\%$双星分数。这些二进制系统广泛分离,动态脆弱,在追踪KBO的起源方面很有用。最近,一种新的双星系统通过它们的颜色被识别出来。所谓的蓝色双星是一致的成员较少的红色组成类,并表现出100%的二进制部分。它们似乎是被推出的幸存者,在海王星向外迁移的阶段被安置在经典区域。这些双星系统的存在意味着大多数在冷经典区域附近形成的天体都是双星。在这里,我们提出了来自外太阳系起源调查的颜色的冷经典KBO的新光学颜色测量,包括由太阳系起源遗产调查发现的蓝色双星的颜色- 2015 RJ 277。颜色样本的大小增加导致二进制和单个样本共享相同颜色分布的概率的数量级下降。根据Anderson-Darling统计量,该概率仅为0.3%,而利用均值差异统计量时,该概率仅为0.002%。我们发现一个暗示,蓝色的双星有膨胀的自由倾向相比,他们的红色同行,符合推出这些机构的起源。

英文摘要:

The cold classical Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) possess a high, $\gtrsim30\%$ binary fraction. Widely separated and dynamically fragile, these binary systems have been useful in tracing the origins of KBOs. A new class of binaries was recently identified by their colours. The so-called blue binaries are unanimously members of the less red compositional class, and exhibit a 100% binary fraction. They appear to be push-out survivors, emplaced in the classical region during Neptune's phases of outward migration. The presence of these binary systems implies that the majority of objects that formed near the cold classical region formed as binaries. Here we present new optical colour measurements of cold classical KBOs from the Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey, including colours of a blue binary discovered by the Solar System Origins Legacy Survey -- 2015 RJ277. The increased size of the colours sample has resulted in order-of-magnitude decrease in the probability that the binaries and singles sample share the same colour distribution. From the Anderson-Darling statistic, this probability is only a 0.3%, while it is only 0.002% when utilizing the difference of means statistic. We find a hint that the blue binaries have inflated free inclinations compared to their red counterparts, consistent with the push-out origin for these bodies.
