NEOWISE Observations Of The Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (99942) Apophis

Akash Satpathy, Amy Mainzer, Joseph R. Masiero +6

Large potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) are capable of causing a global catastrophe in the event of a planetary collision. Thus, rapid assessment of such an object's physical…

Size and Shape Constraints of (486958) Arrokoth from Stellar Occultations

Marc W. Buie, Simon B. Porter, Peter Tamblyn +130

We present the results from four stellar occultations by (486958) Arrokoth, the flyby target of the New Horizons extended mission. Three of the four efforts led to positive detecti…

Towards Efficient Detection of Small Near-Earth Asteroids Using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF)

Quanzhi Ye, Frank J. Masci, Hsing Wen Lin +23

We describe ZStreak, a semi-real-time pipeline specialized in detecting small, fast-moving near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that is currently operating on the data from the newly-commis…
