The size, shape, density and ring of the dwarf planet Haumea from a stellar occultation
J. L. Ortiz, P. Santos-Sanz, B. Sicardy +90
Among the four known transneptunian dwarf planets, Haumea is an exotic, very elongated, and fast rotating body. In contrast to the other dwarf planets, its size, shape, albedo, and…
The large Trans-Neptunian Object 2002 TC from combined stellar occultation, photometry and astrometry data
J. L. Ortiz, P. Santos-Sanz, B. Sicardy +78
On 28th January 2018, the large Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) 2002TC302 occulted a m15.3 star with ID 130957813463146112 in the Gaia DR2 stellar catalog. 12 positive occultati…
Thermal properties of large main-belt asteroids observed by Herschel PACS
V. Alí-Lagoa, T. G. Müller, C. Kiss +11
Non-resolved thermal infrared observations enable studies of thermal and physical properties of asteroid surfaces provided the shape and rotational properties of the target are wel…
Physical parameters of selected Gaia mass asteroids
E. Podlewska-Gaca, A. Marciniak, V. Alí-Lagoa +36
Thanks to the Gaia mission, it will be possible to determine the masses of approximately hundreds of large main belt asteroids with very good precision. We currently have diameter…
Thermal properties of slowly rotating asteroids: Results from a targeted survey
A. Marciniak, V. Alí-Lagoa, T. G. Müller +51
Context. Earlier work suggests that slowly rotating asteroids should have higher thermal inertias than faster rotators because the heat wave penetrates deeper into the sub-surface.…
Small Bodies Near and Far (SBNAF): a benchmark study on physical and thermal properties of small bodies in the Solar System
T. G. Müller, A. Marciniak, C. Kiss +15
The combination of visible and thermal data from the ground and astrophysics space missions is key to improving the scientific understanding of near-Earth, main-belt, trojans, cent…
Statistical analysis of the ambiguities in the asteroid period determinations
M. Butkiewicz-Bąk, T. Kwiatkowski, P. Bartczak +2
Among asteroids there exist ambiguities in their rotation period determinations. They are due to incomplete coverage of the rotation, noise and/or aliases resulting from gaps betwe…
MN Draconis - peculiar, active dwarf nova in the period gap
K. Bakowska, A. Olech, R. Pospieszynski +7
Context: We present results of an extensive world-wide observing campaign of MN Draconis. Aims: MN Draconis is a poorly known active dwarf nova in the period gap and is one of the…
Large Halloween Asteroid at Lunar Distance
T. G. Müller, A. Marciniak, M. Butkiewicz-Bąk +7
The near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 2015 TB145 had a very close encounter with Earth at 1.3 lunar distances on October 31, 2015. We obtained 3-band mid-infrared observations with the ESO…
