A high geometric albedo and small size of the Haumea cluster member (24835) 1995 SM55 from a stellar occultation and photometric observations

J. L. Ortiz, N. Morales, B. Sicardy +98

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are among the most ancient bodies of the solar system. Understanding their physical properties is key to constraining their origin and the evolution…

Asteroid sizes determined with thermophysical model and stellar occultations

A. Choukroun, A. Marciniak, J. Ďurech +165

Context. The sizes of many asteroids, especially slowly rotating, low-amplitude targets, remain poorly constrained due to selection effects. These biases limit the availability of…

Stellar occultation observations of (38628) Huya and its satellite: a detailed look into the system

F. L. Rommel, E. Fernández-Valenzuela, B. C. N. Proudfoot +78

The physical and orbital parameters of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) provide valuable information about the Solar System's formation and evolution. In particular, the characteriza…

A large topographic feature on the surface of the trans-Neptunian object (307261) 2002 MS measured from stellar occultations

F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. L. Ortiz +201

This work aims at constraining the size, shape, and geometric albedo of the dwarf planet candidate 2002 MS4 through the analysis of nine stellar occultation events. Using multichor…

Spin Change of Asteroid 2012 TC4 probably by Radiation Torques

Hee-Jae Lee, Josef Ďurech, David Vokrouhlický +9

Asteroid 2012 TC4 is a small (10 m) near-Earth object that was observed during its Earth close approaches in 2012 and 2017. Earlier analyses of light curves revealed its exci…

The size, shape, density and ring of the dwarf planet Haumea from a stellar occultation

J. L. Ortiz, P. Santos-Sanz, B. Sicardy +90

Among the four known transneptunian dwarf planets, Haumea is an exotic, very elongated, and fast rotating body. In contrast to the other dwarf planets, its size, shape, albedo, and…
