Discovery and dynamics of a Sedna-like object with a perihelion of 66 au
Ying-Tung Chen, Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Yukun Huang +30
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with large perihelion distances ( au) and semi-major axes ( au) provide insights into the early evolution of the solar system and th…
Photometry of the Didymos system across the DART impact apparition
Nicholas Moskovitz, Cristina Thomas, Petr Pravec +78
On 26 September 2022, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the satellite of binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didymos. This demonstrated the…
A new approach to feature-based asteroid taxonomy in 3D color space: 1. SDSS photometric system
Dong-Goo Roh, Hong-Kyu Moon, Min-Su Shin +1
The taxonomic classification of asteroids has been mostly based on spectroscopic observations with wavelengths spanning from the VIS to the NIR. VIS-NIR spectra of 2500 aster…
Rotation acceleration of asteroids (10115) 1992 SK, (1685) Toro, and (1620) Geographos due to the YORP effect
J. Durech, D. Vokrouhlicky, P. Pravec +28
The rotation state of small asteroids is affected by the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect, which is a net torque caused by solar radiation directly reflected and…
FOSSIL: I. The Spin Rate Limit of Jupiter Trojans
Chan-Kao Chang, Ying-Tung Chen, Wesley C. Fraser +25
Rotation periods of 53 small (diameters km) Jupiter Trojans (JTs) were derived using the high-cadence light curves obtained by the FOSSIL phase I survey, a Subaru/Hype…
Spin Change of Asteroid 2012 TC4 probably by Radiation Torques
Hee-Jae Lee, Josef Ďurech, David Vokrouhlický +9
Asteroid 2012 TC4 is a small (10 m) near-Earth object that was observed during its Earth close approaches in 2012 and 2017. Earlier analyses of light curves revealed its exci…
Shape model and spin state of non-principal axis rotator (5247) Krylov
H. -J. Lee, J. Ďurech, M. -J. Kim +12
Context. The study of non-principal axis (NPA) rotators can provide important clues to the evolution of the spin state of asteroids. However, so far, very few studies have focused…
The Geometric Albedo of (4179) Toutatis Estimated from KMTNet DEEP-South Observations
Yoonsoo P. Bach, Masateru Ishiguro, Sunho Jin +6
We derive the geometric albedo of a near-Earth asteroid, (4179) Toutatis, to investigate its surface physical conditions. The asteroid has been studied rigorously not only via grou…
ASIME 2018 White Paper. In-Space Utilisation of Asteroids: Asteroid Composition -- Answers to Questions from the Asteroid Miners
Amara L. Graps, Angel Abbud-Madrid, Paul Abell +41
In keeping with the Luxembourg government's initiative to support the future use of space resources, ASIME 2018 was held in Belval, Luxembourg on April 16-17, 2018. The goal of ASI…
Investigation of surface homogeneity of (3200) Phaethon
Hee-Jae Lee, Myung-Jin Kim, Dong-Heun Kim +7
Time-series multi-band photometry and spectrometry were performed in Nov.-Dec. 2017 to investigate the homogeneity of the surface of asteroid (3200) Phaethon. We found that Phaetho…
Optical observations of NEA 3200 Phaethon (1983 TB) during the 2017 apparition
Myung-Jin Kim, Hee-Jae Lee, Sang-Min Lee +24
The near-Earth asteroid 3200 Phaethon (1983 TB) is an attractive object not only from a scientific viewpoint but also because of JAXA's DESTINY+ target. The rotational lightcurve a…
Shape and spin determination of Barbarian asteroids
M. Devogèle, P. Tanga, P. Bendjoya +51
Context. The so-called Barbarian asteroids share peculiar, but common polarimetric properties, probably related to both their shape and composition. They are named after (234) Barb…
Confirmation of Large Super-Fast Rotator (144977) 2005 EC127
Chan-Kao Chang, Hsing-Wen Lin, Wing-Huen Ip +7
(144977) 2005 EC127 is an V-/A-type inner-main-belt asteroid with a diameter of 0.6 +- 0.1 km. Asteroids of this size are believed to have rubble-pile structure, and, therefore, ca…
Rotational properties of Maria asteroid family
Myung-Jin Kim, Young-Jun Choi, Hong-Kyu Moon +13
Maria family is regarded as an old-type (~3 +/- 1 Gyr) asteroid family which has experienced substantial collisional and dynamical evolution in the Main-belt. It is located nearby…
Optical observations of NEA 162173 (1999 JU3) during the 2011-2012 apparition
M. -J. Kim, Y. -J. Choi, H. -K. Moon +7
Near-Earth asteroid 162173 (1999 JU3) is a potential target of two asteroid sample return missions, not only because of its accessibility but also because of the first C-type aster…
