DiSCo-TNOs: Discovering the composition of the trans-Neptunian objects, icy embryos for planet formation
This is a proposal for 98 hours of NIRSPEC/PRISM observations of 59 trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs (hereafter, TNOs). Our targets cover a diverse range of orbital characteristics, sizes, albedos, and surface compositions complementary to the GTO targets. The TNO population includes some of the most primitive bodies in the Solar System and
