Abstract About 40 trans-Neptunian binaries (TNBs) have fully determined orbits with about 10 others being solved except for breaking the mirror ambiguity. Despite decades of study, almost all TNBs only ever been analyzed a model that assumes perfect Keplerian motion (e.g., two point masses). In reality, TNB systems are non-Keplerian due to nonspherical shapes, possible presence undetected system components, and/or solar perturbations. this work, we focus on identifying candidates detectable...
