Triple Range Imager and POLarimeter (TRIPOL) --- A Compact and Economical Optical Imaging Polarimeter for Small Telescopes
S. Sato, P. C. Huang, W. P. Chen +6
We report the design concept and performance of a compact, light-weight, and economic imaging polarimeter, TRIPOL (the Triple Range Imager and POLarimeter), capable of simultaneous…
Physical properties of near-Earth asteroids with a low delta-: Survey of target candidates for the Hayabusa2 mission
Sunao Hasegawa, Daisuke Kuroda, Kohei Kitazato +40
Sample return from the near-Earth asteroid known as 25143 Itokawa was conducted as part of the Hayabusa mission, with a large number of scientific findings being derived from the r…
Rotationally time-resolved vis-spectroscopy of (3200) Phaethon
Daisuke Kinoshita, Katsuhito Ohtsuka, Takashi Ito +4
Apollo-type NEA (3200) Phaethon, classified at the B/F-type taxonomy, probably the main mass of the Phaethon-Geminid stream complex (PGC), can be the most metamorphic C-complex ast…
Asteroid lightcurves from the Palomar Transient Factory survey: Rotation periods and phase functions from sparse photometry
Adam Waszczak, Chan-Kao Chang, Eran O. Ofek +10
We fit 54,296 sparsely-sampled asteroid lightcurves in the Palomar Transient Factory to a combined rotation plus phase-function model. Each lightcurve consists of 20+ observations…
Discovery of Main-Belt Comet P/2006 VW139 by Pan-STARRS1
Henry H. Hsieh, Bin Yang, Nader Haghighipour +39
Main belt asteroid (300163) 2006 VW139 (later designated P/2006 VW139) was discovered to exhibit comet-like activity by the Pan-STARRS1 survey telescope using automated point-sprea…
Observational and Dynamical Characterization of Main-Belt Comet P/2010 R2 (La Sagra)
Henry H. Hsieh, Bin Yang, Nader Haghighipour +36
We present observations of comet-like main-belt object P/2010 R2 (La Sagra) obtained by Pan-STARRS 1 and the Faulkes Telescope-North on Haleakala in Hawaii, the University of Hawai…
