Follow the wobble: Statistical methods to detect astrometric binary asteroids in Gaia FPR
Luana Liberato, Paolo Tanga, David Mary +7
In a previous article, we obtained the first-ever list of astrometric binary asteroid candidates. Some of these candidates have now been confirmed. In that previous work, however,…
The spin state of asteroid Apophis and a prediction of its change during the 2029 close encounter with Earth
J. Durech, D. Vokrouhlicky, P. Pravec +23
On April 13, 2029, the asteroid Apophis will pass near Earth at a geocentric distance of about 38,000 km. Numerical models have suggested that the post-encounter spin state will cr…
The Nysa family as the main source of unequilibrated LL ordinary chondrites
M. Marsset, P. Vernazza, M. Brož +16
Context. The origin of the petrologic diversity observed in ordinary chondrites (OCs), the most common meteorites on Earth, remains debated. Competing models invoke either depth-de…
A dynamical dichotomy in large binary asteroids
K. Minker, B. Carry, F. Vachier +20
No less than 15% of large (diameter greater than 140 km) asteroids have satellites. The commonly accepted mechanism for their formation is post-impact reaccumulation. However, the…
Orbits of very distant asteroid satellites
K. Minker, B. Carry, F. Vachier +36
The very wide binary asteroid (VWBA) population is a small subset of the population of known binary and multiple asteroids made of systems with very widely orbiting satellites and…
Binary asteroid candidates in Gaia DR3 astrometry
Luana Liberato, Paolo Tanga, David Mary +7
Asteroids with companions constitute an excellent sample for studying the collisional and dynamical evolution of minor planets. The currently known binary population were discovere…
Binary craters on Ceres and Vesta and implications for binary asteroids
Carianna Herrera, Benoit Carry, Anthony Lagain +1
Context. Airless planetary objects have their surfaces covered by craters, and these can be used to study the characteristics of asteroid populations. Planetary surfaces present bi…
Euclid: Identification of asteroid streaks in simulated images using deep learning
M. Pöntinen, M. Granvik, A. A. Nucita +114
Up to 150000 asteroids will be visible in the images of the ESA Euclid space telescope, and the instruments of Euclid offer multiband visual to near-infrared photometry and slitles…
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…
SsODNet: The Solar system Open Database Network
J. Berthier, B. Carry, M. Mahlke +1
The sample of Solar system objects has dramatically increased over the last decade. The amount of measured properties (e.g., diameter, taxonomy, rotation period, thermal inertia) h…
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…
(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…
3D shape of asteroid (6)~Hebe from VLT/SPHERE imaging: Implications for the origin of ordinary H chondrites
M. Marsset, B. Carry, C. Dumas +15
Context. The high-angular-resolution capability of the new-generation ground-based adaptive-optics camera SPHERE at ESO VLT allows us to assess, for the very first time, the crater…
Near-infrared spatially resolved spectroscopy of (136108) Haumea's multiple system
F. Gourgeot, B. Carry, C. Dumas +5
The transneptunian region of the solar system is populated by a wide variety of icy bodies showing great diversity. The dwarf planet (136108) Haumea is among the largest TNOs and d…
Asteroid Systems: Binaries, Triples, and Pairs
Jean-Luc Margot, Petr Pravec, Patrick Taylor +2
In the past decade, the number of known binary near-Earth asteroids has more than quadrupled and the number of known large main belt asteroids with satellites has doubled. Half a d…
The small binary asteroid (939) Isberga
B. Carry, A. Matter, P. Scheirich +29
In understanding the composition and internal structure of asteroids, their density is perhaps the most diagnostic quantity. We aim here to characterize the surface composition, mu…
Integral-field spectroscopy of (90482) Orcus-Vanth
B. Carry, D. Hestroffer, F. DeMeo +8
Aims. We seek to constrain the surface composition of the Trans-Neptunian Object (90482) Orcus and its small satellite Vanth, as well as their mass and density. Methods. We acquire…
