A Sub-Earth-Mass Moon Orbiting a Gas Giant Primary or a High Velocity Planetary System in the Galactic Bulge

D. P. Bennett, V. Batista, I. A. Bond +90

We present the first microlensing candidate for a free-floating exoplanet-exomoon system, MOA-2011-BLG-262, with a primary lens mass of M_host ~ 4 Jupiter masses hosting a sub-Eart…

Characteristics and Large Bulk Density of the C-type Main-Belt Triple Asteroid (93) Minerva

F. Marchis, F. Vachier, J. Ďurech +11

From a set of adaptive optics (AO) observations collected with the W.M. Keck telescope between August and September 2009, we derived the orbital parameters of the most recently dis…

The PLATO 2.0 Mission

H. Rauer, C. Catala, C. Aerts +159

PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it…

An anisotropic distribution of spin vectors in asteroid families

J. Hanuš, M. Brož, J. Ďurech +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…

Sizes of main-belt asteroids by combining shape models and Keck adaptive aptics observations

J. Hanuš, F. Marchis, J. Ďurech

We select 50 main-belt asteroids with a diameter between 20 and 400 km for which we have (i) shape models derived by the lightcurve inversion method (LI) and (ii) resolved observat…

Introducing the Eulalia and new Polana asteroid families: re-assessing primitive asteroid families in the inner Main Belt

Kevin J. Walsh, Marco Delbó, William F. Bottke +2

The so-called Nysa-Polana complex of asteroids is a diverse and widespread group. It appears to be two overlapping families of different asteroid taxonomies: (44) Nysa is an E-type…

Capture of Trojans by Jumping Jupiter

David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Alessandro Morbidelli

Jupiter Trojans are thought to be survivors of a much larger population of planetesimals that existed in the planetary region when planets formed. They can provide important constr…

The Eos family halo

Miroslav Brož, Alessandro Morbidelli

We study K-type asteroids in the broad surroundings of the Eos family because they seem to be intimately related, according to their colours measured by the Sloan Digital Sky Surve…

The potential of sparse photometric data in asteroid shape modeling

J. Hanuš, J. Ďurech

We investigate the potential of the sparse data produced by the Catalina Sky Survey astrometric project (CSS for short) in asteroid shape and rotational state determination by the…

Asteroids' physical models from combined dense and sparse photometry and scaling of the YORP effect by the observed obliquity distribution

J. Hanuš, J. Ďurech, M. Brož +116

The larger number of models of asteroid shapes and their rotational states derived by the lightcurve inversion give us better insight into both the nature of individual objects and…

Constraining the cometary flux through the asteroid belt during the late heavy bombardment

M. Brož, A. Morbidelli, W. F. Bottke +3

In the Nice model, the late heavy bombardment (LHB) is related to an orbital instability of giant planets which causes a fast dynamical dispersion of a transneptunian cometary disk…

The Resolved Asteroid Program - Size, shape, and pole of (52) Europa

W. J. Merline, J. D. Drummond, B. Carry +14

With the adaptive optics (AO) system on the 10 m Keck-II telescope, we acquired a high quality set of 84 images at 14 epochs of asteroid (52) Europa on 2005 January 20. The epochs…
