Comet Machholz (C/2004 Q2): morphological structures in the inner coma and rotation parameters
Federico Manzini, Raoul Behrend, Lorenzo Comolli +6
Extensive observations of comet C/2004 Q2 (Machholz) were carried out between August 2004 and May 2005. The images obtained were used to investigate the comet's inner coma features…
Spin vectors in the Koronis family: IV. Completing the sample of its largest members after 35 years of study
Stephen M. Slivan, Matthew Hosek, Max Kurzner +17
An observational study of Koronis family members' spin properties was undertaken with two primary objectives: to reduce selection biases for object rotation period and lightcurve a…
Kilometre-scale Jovian moon characterized for a potential JUICE flyby
Juan Luis Rizos, Jose Maria Gomez-Limon, Yucel Kilic +51
The paper presents new observations of Jupiter’s irregular moon Kallichore, using Hubble, ground‑based telescopes and stellar occultations to refine its orbit, size, shape and surf…
The orbital and superhump periods of the SU UMa-type dwarf nova V1212 Tauri
Jeremy Shears, Tom Krajci, Enrique de Miguel +6
We report CCD photometry of the superoutburst of the dwarf nova V1212 Tau obtained during 2011 January and February. The outburst amplitude was at least 6 magnitudes and it lasted…
Shape models of asteroids based on lightcurve observations with BlueEye600 robotic observatory
Josef Durech, Josef Hanus, Miroslav Broz +14
We present physical models, i.e. convex shapes, directions of the rotation axis, and sidereal rotation periods, of 18 asteroids out of which 10 are new models and 8 are refined mod…
Continuous optical monitoring during the prompt emission of GRB 060111B
Alain Klotz, Bruce Gendre, Giulia Stratta +5
We present the time-resolved optical emission of GRB 060111B during its prompt phase, measured with the TAROT robotic observatory. This is the first time that the optical emission…
