Shepherding Miorita and its flock: A group of near-Earth asteroids driven by apsidal and von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai secular resonances. A source of low-perihelion asteroids

R. de la Fuente Marcos, C. de la Fuente Marcos, O. Văduvescu

Context. Secular resonances can control the dynamical evolution of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) and, in some cases, lead to increased orbital stability. Asteroid 622577 Miorita (201…

Assessing interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and the Two-meter Twin Telescope

R. de la Fuente Marcos, M. R. Alarcon, J. Licandro +8

Context. Theories of the formation and evolution of small bodies in planetary systems predict that they may escape into interstellar space at any time. After having characterized j…

Basaltic quasi-mini-moon: Characterizing 2024 PT5 with the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and the Two-meter Twin Telescope

R. de la Fuente Marcos, J. de Leon, M. Serra-Ricart +8

Context. Small bodies in Earth-like orbits, the Arjunas, are good targets for scientific exploration, and space mining or in situ resource utilization (ISRU) trials as they enable…

Discovery and physical characterization as the first response to a potential asteroid collision: The case of 2023 DZ2

Marcel M. Popescu, O. Văduvescu, Julia de León +15

Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that may evolve into impactors deserve detailed threat assessment studies. Early physical characterization of a would-be impactor may help in optimizing…

Deep and fast Solar System flybys: The controversial case of WD 0810-353

R. de la Fuente Marcos, C. de la Fuente Marcos

Context. Most flybys in the Galactic disk are distant, beyond 10,000 AU, and have characteristic velocities of about 70 km/s. However, deep and fast encounters also take place, alb…

Distant trans-Neptunian object candidates from NASA's TESS mission scrutinized: fainter than predicted or false positives?

C. de la Fuente Marcos, R. de la Fuente Marcos, O. Vaduvescu +1

NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is performing a homogeneous survey of the sky from space in search of transiting exoplanets. The collected data are also being u…
