Close-to-fission dumbbell Jupiter-Trojan (17365) Thymbraeus

B. Carry, P. Descamps, M. Ferrais +11

Every population of small bodies in the Solar system contains a sizable fraction of multiple systems. Among these, the Jupiter Trojans have the lowest number of known binary system…

(216) Kleopatra, a low density critically rotating M-type asteroid

F. Marchis, L. Jorda, P. Vernazza +36

Context. The recent estimates of the 3D shape of the M/Xe-type triple asteroid system (216) Kleopatra indicated a density of 5 g.cm. Such a high density implies a high metal…

An advanced multipole model for (216) Kleopatra triple system

M. Brož, F. Marchis, L. Jorda +37

To interpret adaptive-optics observations of (216) Kleopatra, we need to describe an evolution of multiple moons, orbiting an extremely irregular body and including their mutual in…

Evidence for differentiation of the most primitive small bodies

B. Carry, P. Vernazza, F. Vachier +40

Dynamical models of Solar System evolution have suggested that P-/D-type volatile-rich asteroids formed in the outer Solar System and may be genetically related to the Jupiter Troj…

Binary asteroid (31) Euphrosyne: Ice-rich and nearly spherical

B. Yang, J. Hanus, B. Carry +38

Asteroid (31) Euphrosyne is one of the biggest objects in the asteroid main belt and the Euphrosyne family occupies a highly inclined region in the outer main belt and contains a r…

The shape of (7) Iris as evidence of an ancient large impact?

J. Hanuš, M. Marsset, P. Vernazza +35

Asteroid (7) Iris is an ideal target for disk-resolved imaging owing to its brightness (V7-8) and large angular size of 0.33 arcsec during its apparitions. Iris is believed t…

Closing the gap between Earth-based and interplanetary mission observations: Vesta seen by VLT/SPHERE

R. JL. Fétick, L. Jorda, P. Vernazza +34

Context. Over the past decades, several interplanetary missions have studied small bodies in situ, leading to major advances in our understanding of their geological and geophysica…

The homogeneous internal structure of CM-like asteroid (41) Daphne

B. Carry, F. Vachier, J. Berthier +48

Context. CM-like asteroids (Ch and Cgh classes) are a major population within the broader C-complex, encompassing about 10% of the mass of the main asteroid belt. Their internal st…

(16) Psyche: A mesosiderite-like asteroid?

M. Viikinkoski, P. Vernazza, J. Hanus +35

Asteroid (16) Psyche is the target of the NASA Psyche mission. It is considered one of the few main-belt bodies that could be an exposed proto-planetary metallic core and that woul…

Physical, spectral, and dynamical properties of asteroid (107) Camilla and its satellites

M. Pajuelo, B. Carry, F. Vachier +24

The population of large asteroids is thought to be primordial and they are the most direct witnesses of the early history of our Solar System. Those satellites allow study of the m…

The 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko observation campaign in support of the Rosetta mission

C. Snodgrass, M. F. A'Hearn, F. Aceituno +112

We present a summary of the campaign of remote observations that supported the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. Telescopes across the globe (and in space) followed comet 67…

The Brightening of Saturn's F Ring

Robert S. French, Mark R. Showalter, Rafael Sfair +5

Image photometry reveals that the F ring is approximately twice as bright during the Cassini tour as it was during the Voyager flybys of 1980 and 1981. It is also three times as wi…
