3D shape of asteroid (6)~Hebe from VLT/SPHERE imaging: Implications for the origin of ordinary H chondrites
M. Marsset, B. Carry, C. Dumas +15
Context. The high-angular-resolution capability of the new-generation ground-based adaptive-optics camera SPHERE at ESO VLT allows us to assess, for the very first time, the crater…
Near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon. Characterization of its orbit, spin state, and thermophysical parameters
J. Hanus, M. Delbo, D. Vokrouhlicky +15
The near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon is an intriguing object: its perihelion is at only 0.14 au and is associated with the Geminid meteor stream. We aim to use all available dis…
Binary asteroid (31) Euphrosyne: Ice-rich and nearly spherical
B. Yang, J. Hanus, B. Carry +38
Asteroid (31) Euphrosyne is one of the biggest objects in the asteroid main belt and the Euphrosyne family occupies a highly inclined region in the outer main belt and contains a r…
Physical and dynamical characterization of the Euphrosyne asteroid Family
B. Yang, J. Hanus, M. Broz +5
The Euphrosyne asteroid family occupies a unique zone in orbital element space around 3.15 au and may be an important source of the low-albedo near-Earth objects. The parent body o…
Asteroid models from the Lowell Photometric Database
J. Durech, J. Hanus, D. Oszkiewicz +1
We use the lightcurve inversion method to derive new shape models and spin states of asteroids from the sparse-in-time photometry compiled in the Lowell Photometric Database. To sp…
(16) Psyche: A mesosiderite-like asteroid?
M. Viikinkoski, P. Vernazza, J. Hanus +35
Asteroid (16) Psyche is the target of the NASA Psyche mission. It is considered one of the few main-belt bodies that could be an exposed proto-planetary metallic core and that woul…
