Color Distribution of excited TNOs in HST's Frontier Fields
Abstract
We are carrying out a study of small excited TNOs in HST's Frontier Fields. We will coadd light from two-orbit visits accounting for TNOs' motion, increasing our sensitivity. We expect colors for 10-50 very faint TNOs. Comparison of this population's color distribution and the distribution of larger objects will indicate whether the break in the size distribution is collisional or primordial. In this poster we will present the software development and preliminary results.
