(121514) 1999 UJ7: A primitive, slow-rotating Martian Trojan

G. Borisov, A. A. Christou, F. Colas +3

Aims. The goal of this investigation is to determine the origin and surface composition of the asteroid (121514) 1999 UJ7, the only currently known L4 Martian Trojan asteroid. Meth…

Rotational variation of the linear polarisation of the asteroid (3200) Phaethon as evidence for inhomogeneity in its surface properties

G. Borisov, M. Devogèle, A. Cellino +23

Asteroid (3200) Phaethon is a Near-Earth Apollo asteroid with an unusual orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than any other known asteroid. Its last close approach to the Earth…

The phase-polarization curve of asteroid (3200) Phaethon

M. Devogèle, A. Cellino, G. Borisov +10

A multi-colour phase-polarization curve of asteroid (3200)~Phaethon has been obtained during the December 2017 apparition by merging measurements taken at the observing station of…

Implications of the Small Spin Changes Measured for Large Jupiter-Family Comet Nuclei

Rosita Kokotanekova, Colin Snodgrass, Pedro Lacerda +3

Rotational spin-up due to outgassing of comet nuclei has been identified as a possible mechanism for considerable mass-loss and splitting. We report a search for spin changes for t…

New polarimetric and spectroscopic evidence of anomalous enrichment in spinel-bearing Calcium-Aluminium-rich Inclusions among L-type asteroids

M. Devogèle, P. Tanga, A. Cellino +14

Asteroids can be classified into several groups based on their spectral reflectance. Among these groups, the one belonging to the L-class in the taxonomic classification based on v…
