Physics

Scientific paper

In this work we present the results of the combined SPIRE and PACS instruments observations for the brightest targets of our sample. The dwarf planet Haumea, 4 TNOs (Huya, Orcus, 2002 UX25, and 2002 TC302) and two Centaurs (Chiron and Chariklo) were observed over 6 bands (70, 100, 160, 250, 350 and 500 micron) with the Herschel spacecraft. These data over a wide wavelength range allow greater constraints to be made to thermal models. The size, albedo, and thermal properties, including thermal inertia and surface emissivity, derived from the thermal modelling of the targets spectral energy distribution will be presented.
