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…
Composition of Jupiter irregular satellites sheds light on their origin
M. Bhatt, V. Reddy, K. Schindler +4
Irregular satellites of Jupiter with their highly eccentric, inclined and distant orbits suggest that their capture took place just before the giant planet migration. We aim to imp…
Asteroid sizes determined with thermophysical model and stellar occultations
A. Choukroun, A. Marciniak, J. Äurech +165
Context. The sizes of many asteroids, especially slowly rotating, low-amplitude targets, remain poorly constrained due to selection effects. These biases limit the availability of…
A satellite orbit drift in binary near-Earth asteroids (66391) 1999 KW4 and (88710) 2001 SL9 -- Indication of the BYORP effect
P. Scheirich, P. Pravec, P. Kušnirák +34
We obtained thorough photometric observations of two binary near-Earth asteroids (66391) Moshup = 1999 KW4 and (88710) 2001 SL9 taken from 2000 to 2019 and derived physical and dyn…
Solar system science with the Wide-Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST)
B. J. Holler, S. N. Milam, J. M. Bauer +30
We present a community-led assessment of the solar system investigations achievable with NASA's next-generation space telescope, the Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST).…
Combined Emerging Capabilities for Near-Earth Objects (NEOs)
S. N. Milam, H. B. Hammel, J. Bauer +10
Assess the joint capabilities of emerging telescopes for near-Earth objects (NEOs) survey and characterization, and what they will add to the current capabilities or replace. NASA…
