Simultaneous Multicolor Photometry of the DESTINY target asteroid (3200) Phaethon

Jin Beniyama, Tomohiko Sekiguchi, Daisuke Kuroda +11

Accurate estimation of brightness of (3200) Phaethon up to lower phase angles are essential for planning of the on-board camera of the DESTINY mission. We have carried out in…

(3200) Phaethon Polarimetry in the Negative Branch: New Evidence for the Anhydrous Nature of the DESTINY+ Target Asteroid

Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro, Jun Takahashi +23

We report on the first polarimetric study of (3200) Phaethon, the target of JAXA's DESTINY mission, in the negative branch to ensure its anhydrous nature and to derive an accur…

Electrostatic Dust Ejection From Asteroid (3200) Phaethon With the Aid of Mobile Alkali Ions at Perihelion

Hiroshi Kimura, Katsuhito Ohtsuka, Shota Kikuchi +12

The asteroid (3200) Phaethon is known to be the parent body of the Geminids, although meteor showers are commonly associated with the activity of periodic comets. What is most pecu…

Polarimetric Properties of the Near--Sun Asteroid (155140) 2005 UD in Comparison with Other Asteroids and Meteoritic Samples

Masateru Ishiguro, Yoonsoo P. Bach, Jooyeon Geem +26

The investigation of asteroids near the Sun is important for understanding the final evolutionary stage of primitive solar system objects. A near-Sun asteroid, (155140) 2005 UD, ha…

Is water ice an efficient facilitator for dust coagulation?

Hiroshi Kimura, Koji Wada, Hiroshi Kobayashi +8

Beyond the snow line of protoplanetary discs and inside the dense core of molecular clouds, the temperature of gas is low enough for water vapour to condense into amorphous ices on…

The tensile strength of dust aggregates consisting of small elastic grains: Constraints on the size of condensates in protoplanetary disks

Hiroshi Kimura, Koji Wada, Fumi Yoshida +7

A consensus view on the formation of planetesimals is now exposed to a threat, since recent numerical studies on the mechanical properties of dust aggregates tend to dispute the co…

Near-infrared observations of active asteroid (3200) Phaethon reveal no evidence for hydration

Driss Takir, Theodore Kareta, Joshua P. Emery +5

Asteroid (3200) Phaethon is an active near-Earth asteroid and the parent body of the Geminid Meteor Shower. Because of its small perihelion distance, Phaethon's surface reaches tem…

Rotationally-Resolved Spectroscopic Characterization of near-Earth object (3200) Phaethon

Theodore Kareta, Vishnu Reddy, Carl Hergenrother +5

(3200) Phaethon is a compelling object as it has an asteroidal appearance and spectrum, produces a weak dust tail during perihelion at just 0.14 AU, and is the parent body of the G…

Optical observations of NEA 3200 Phaethon (1983 TB) during the 2017 apparition

Myung-Jin Kim, Hee-Jae Lee, Sang-Min Lee +24

The near-Earth asteroid 3200 Phaethon (1983 TB) is an attractive object not only from a scientific viewpoint but also because of JAXA's DESTINY+ target. The rotational lightcurve a…
