	Chad Trujillo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chadwick A. "Chad" Trujillo (born November 22, 1973), is the co-discoverer of 136199 Eris, which he claims to be the Tenth Planet.
		Trujillo works with computer software and has examined the orbits of the numerous trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), which is the outer area of the solar system that he specialized in.
		Trujillo was later a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech, and is currently an astronomer at the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii [1].

		Chadwick A. "Chad" Trujillo (born November 22, 1973), is the co-discoverer of Template:Mpl, which he claims to be the Tenth Planet.
		In late August, 2005, it was announced that Trujillo, along with Michael E. Brown and David L. Rabinowitz), had discovered Template:Mpl.
		Trujillo received his Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Hawaii in 2000.

		These observations were obtained on January 25, 2005 by Chad Trujillo, a Gemini staff member who is also on the discovery team for 2003 UB313, the existence of which was formally announced by the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, MA on July 29, 2005.
		The discovery team (Mike Brown of Caltech, Chad Trujillo of Gemini and David Rabinowitz of Yale) are still uncertain of the exact size of the body, but report that it must be Pluto-sized or larger.
		Trujillo states, "We still do not know much about this object, however, it is clear that it is very similar to Pluto in both size and composition, at least upon first glance."

		Currently about 97 times further from the sun than the Earth, the planet is the farthest-known object in the solar system, and the third brightest of the Kuiper belt objects.
		Brown, Trujillo and Rabinowitz first photographed the new planet with the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope on October 31, 2003.
		However, the object was so far away that its motion was not detected until they reanalyzed the data in January of this year.

		The discovery was made using the Samuel Oschin telescope with a 48-inch mirror, tiny compared with the 26-foot mirror of Gemini.
		After the discovery, Trujillo used the Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea to analyze infrared light from the planet, thereby drawing conclusions about its surface.
		The new planet is at least as large as Pluto and possibly a little bigger, Trujillo said.

		Trujillo wrote on the Web site that these planetoids "really blur the line between planet and asteroid."
		Astronomers believe there could be about five more objects in the belt between the size of the 1,400-mile Pluto and the 800-mile Charon, that planet's largest moon.

		The orbit is tilted at an angle of 44° with respect to the ecliptic, the imaginary plane in which Earth and most other planets move.
		It was found by Michael Brown, Chad Trujillo, and David Rabinowitz.

		Michael Brown and Chadwick Trujillo of Caltech are reported the findings at the 34th annual meeting of the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society in Birmingham, Ala.
		Earlier this year, Trujillo and Brown used the Palomar Oschin Schmidt telescope to discover Quaoar as an 18.5-magnitude object creeping across the summer constellation Ophiuchus (it's less than 1/10,000th the brightness of the faintest star seen by the human eye).

		The largest known KBO is 2003 UB313 with a diameter slightly larger than the planet Pluto, which has a diameter of about 2,360 km (1,475 mi).
		The discoverers—Michael Brown of the California Institute of Technology, Chad Trujillo of Gemini Observatory, and David Rabinowitz of Yale University—called the object the tenth planet of the solar system because of its size.
		A planetary designation, however, was refused by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in August 2006.

		The body is the most distant solar system body known to orbit the sun at 97 AU from the sun, over 3 times farther away than planet Pluto.
		The NIRI spectra show strong signatures of methane ice, remarkably similar to the spectrum of Pluto, which is also dominated by methane ice in near-infrared observations.
		This object is smaller than Pluto, but shows strong water-ice features, similar to what is seen on the surface of Pluto's moon Charon.

	New Planet-Shaped Body Found in Our Solar System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Trujillo is working with colleague Mike Brown to survey the Kuiper belt with the 48-inch (122-centimeter) Oschin Telescope at the institute's Palomar Observatory.
		The surface of the body is thought to be a dark, tar-like substance, and thus it does not have a very bright reflection, or albedo.
		However, Chad Trujillo, a researcher at the California Institute of Technology and one of Quaoar's discoverers, says that the object is big and bright enough for advanced amateur astronomers to detect.

	Press Release: Most Distant Object in Solar System Discovered
		Sedna is likely the largest object found in the solar system since Pluto was discovered in 1930.
		Chad Trujillo of the Gemini Observatory, Hawaii, and David Rabinowitz of Yale University, New Haven, Conn., found the planet-like object, or planetoid, on Nov. 14, 2003.
		Trujillo has begun to examine the object's surface with one of the world's largest optical/infrared telescopes, the 8-meter (26-foot) Frederick C. Gillett Gemini Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

	Distant solar system body may be cigar-shaped - space - 08 September 2005 - New Scientist
		But Dave Tholen, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii, US, says the difference in light readings could also be explained if the object appeared mottled and did not reflect sunlight evenly across its surface.
		He points that mottled neighbour Pluto actually shows the second-largest such “albedo variation” in the solar system, fluctuating in brightness by 35% during its six-day rotation period.
		Methane vaporises easily if heated, so its presence implies the objects were not "extremely close to the Sun at any point," says Trujillo.

	WOW! - Astropro's Website Of the Week (OCT 21 - 27, 2002)
		And who better to give you the straight dope than the two guys who discovered it, astronomers Chad Trujillo (who put together the FAQ) and Mike Brown?
		Trujillo furnishes both the discovery image and the exact time, date and place of Quaoar's discovery (namely 10:48:08 AM PDT on June 4, 2002 at the Palomar Observatory).
		Look at it this way: at approximately 1250 kilometers (about 800 miles) in diameter, Quaoar is the biggest thing to be discovered in our solar system since Pluto's moon Charon was first sighted back in 1978.

		The planetoid, currently known only as 2004 DW, could be even larger than Quaoar--the current record holder in the area known as the Kuiper Belt--and is some 4.4 billion miles from Earth.
		According to the discoverers, Caltech associate professor of planetary astronomy Mike Brown and his colleagues Chad Trujillo (now at the Gemini North observatory in Hawaii), and David Rabinowitz of Yale University, the planetoid was found as part of the same search program that discovered Quaoar in late 2002.
		The astronomers use the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory and the recently installed QUEST CCD camera built by a consortium including Yale and the University of Indiana, to systematically study different regions of the sky each night.

		While Chad Trujillo's stargazing is focused on our solar system, its significance does not end there.

		Due to Sednaâs extreme distance from the Sun, the frigid surface has probably been untouched for millions of years by anything except cosmic rays and solar ultraviolet radiation.
		Gemini Observatory astronomer Chad Trujillo led an effort by the same California Institute of Technology research team responsible for Sedna's original discovery to obtain spectra of this distant planetoid using the Near Infrared Imager (NIRI) on Gemini North.
		Their aim was to better understand the surface of this distant world and how it has evolved since its formation.
