The Meudon Multicolor Survey (2MS) of Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian Objects: From Visible to Infrared Colors

Résumé

We present the latest results of the Meudon Multicolor Survey. This survey is aimed at characterizing the color properties and trends of Centaurs and trans-Neptunian objects. We report IJHK photometry of objects obtained with CFHT-IR at the 3.6 m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (Hawaii), JHK photometry with INGRID at the 4.2 m William Hershel Telescope (La Palma), and BVRI photometry with OIG at the 3.6 m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo Telescope (La Palma). We present visible---near-IR colors for 38 objects. Either these were acquired simultaneously, or the new near-IR photometry was tied to previously published visible measurements using the I magnitude measured in both sets. This large sample allows an extended characterization of the color properties of these primitive objects over the B (0.4 mum) to K (2.2 mum) wavelength range. We performed a detailed statistical analysis of all available IR colors in order to search for significant trends. The most relevant conclusion about visible and near-IR color-color correlations is that, basically, JHK bands alone do not show evidence of correlations, either between them or with BVRIJ bands. Only Centaurs show an anticorrelation between visible colors and H - K. Colors within each dynamical family compare very similarly.
