Makemake: A truly exotic TNO!

Makemake is a truely exotic TNO: Its thermal spectral energy distribution is very different from all other objects in our sample of nearly 140 trans-Neptunian objects observed with Herschel as part of the key programme “TNOs are Cool! A Survey of the trans-Neptunian Region". We present the our results on (136472) Makemake from thermophysical model studies of all Spitzer and Herschel observations combined.
