Scaling slowly rotating asteroids by stellar occultations
A. Marciniak, J. Äurech, A. Choukroun +176
As evidenced by recent survey results, majority of asteroids are slow rotators (P>12 h), but lack spin and shape models due to selection bias. This bias is skewing our overall unde…
Shape and spin determination of Barbarian asteroids
M. Devogèle, P. Tanga, P. Bendjoya +51
Context. The so-called Barbarian asteroids share peculiar, but common polarimetric properties, probably related to both their shape and composition. They are named after (234) Barb…
Properties of slowly rotating asteroids from the Convex Inversion Thermophysical Model
A. Marciniak, J. Äurech, V. AlÃ-Lagoa +73
Results from the TESS mission showed that previous studies strngly underestimated the number of slow rotators, revealing the importance of studying those asteroids. For most slowly…
Thermal properties of slowly rotating asteroids: Results from a targeted survey
A. Marciniak, V. AlÃ-Lagoa, T. G. Müller +51
Context. Earlier work suggests that slowly rotating asteroids should have higher thermal inertias than faster rotators because the heat wave penetrates deeper into the sub-surface.…
An anisotropic distribution of spin vectors in asteroid families
J. HanuÅ¡, M. Brož, J. Äurech +11
Current amount of ~500 asteroid models derived from the disk-integrated photometry by the lightcurve inversion method allows us to study not only the spin-vector properties of the…
Photometric survey, modelling, and scaling of long-period and low-amplitude asteroids
A. Marciniak, P. Bartczak, T. Müller +40
The available set of spin and shape modelled asteroids is strongly biased against slowly rotating targets and those with low lightcurve amplitudes. As a consequence of these select…
