Probing close-in satellites of Trans-Neptunian Objects through thermal and direct size measurements
Using occultation-derived sizes and Herschel thermal data, the study identifies three previously unknown likely binary TNOs and reports satellite size estimates while confirming no sizable satellites are needed for three others.
