PRIMASS visits Hilda and Cybele groups
M. N. De Prá, N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. M. Carvano +5
The Cybele and Hilda dynamical groups delimit the outer edge of the asteroid belt. Their compositional distribution is a key element to constrain evolutionary models of the Solar S…
CASTAway: An Asteroid Main Belt Tour and Survey
N. E. Bowles, C. Snodgrass, A Gibbings +42
CASTAway is a mission concept to explore our Solar System's main asteroid belt. Asteroids and comets provide a window into the formation and evolution of our Solar System and the c…
Physical and dynamical properties of the anomalous comet 249P/LINEAR
Julio A. Fernández, Javier Licandro, Fernando Moreno +4
Images and low-resolution spectra of the near-Earth Jupiter family comet (JFC) 249P/LINEAR in the visible range obtained with the instrument OSIRIS in the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Can…
V-type candidates and Vesta family asteroids in the Moving Objects VISTA (MOVIS) Catalogue
J. Licandro, M. Popescu, J. de Leon +1
Basaltic asteroids (V-types) are believed to be fragments of large differentiated bodies. The majority of them are found in the inner part of the asteroid belt, and are current or…
Compositional study of asteroids in the Erigone collisional family using visible spectroscopy at the 10.4 m GTC
David Morate, Julia de León, Mário De Prá +5
Two primitive near Earth asteroids, (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu, will be visited by a spacecraft with the aim of returning samples back to Earth. Since these objects are beli…
Visible spectra of (474640) 2004 VN112-2013 RF98 with OSIRIS at the 10.4 m GTC: evidence for binary dissociation near aphelion among the extreme trans-Neptunian objects
J. de León, C. de la Fuente Marcos, R. de la Fuente Marcos
The existence of significant anisotropies in the distributions of the directions of perihelia and orbital poles of the known extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs) has been used t…
