cds-question@unistra.frsurveysasteroidsThe mysterious solar system object 133P/(7968) Elst-Pizarro is dynamically asteroidal, yet displays recurrent comet-like dust emission. Two scenarios were hypothesized to explain this unusual behavior: (1) 133P is a classical comet from the outer solar system that has evolved onto a main-belt orbit, or (2) 133P is a dynamically ordinary main-belt asteroid on which subsurface ice has recently been exposed. If (1) is correct, the expected rarity of a dynamical transition onto an asteroidal orbit implies that 133P could be alone in the main belt. In contrast, if (2) is correct, other icy main-belt objects should exist and could also exhibit cometary activity. Believing 133P to be a dynamically ordinary, yet icy main-belt asteroid, I set out to test the primary prediction of the hypothesis: that 133P-like objects should be common and could be found by an appropriately designed observational survey.2009A&A...505.1297Hhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/505/1297CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toB/astorb : Orbits of Minor Planets (Bowell+ 2009)B/comets : Database of the orbital elements of comets (Rocher, 2007)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/505/1297https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/505/1297http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/505/1297https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/505/1297https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/505/1297http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/505/1297GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap2.762881831355591e-19 3.3785437584409506e-19defaultJ/A+A/505/1297/table3Properties of objects imaged for the Hawaii Trail Project (HTP)recnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
