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.
The paper assesses the feasibility of using SKA-AA4 for thermal detections and characterization of TNOs and Centaurs at cm wavelengths.
