Size, shape, density, and atmospheric limit of (50000) Quaoar revealed from 14 years of stellar occultation
Giuliano Margoti, Felipe Braga-Ribas, José Luis Ortiz +173
We present results from 28 stellar occultations by the large Trans-Neptunian Object (50000) Quaoar registered between 2018 and 2025. By performing a joint analysis of this occultat…
Rings around irregular bodies I. Structure of the resonance mesh, applications to Chariklo, Haumea and Quaoar
Bruno Sicardy, Heikki Salo, Maryame El Moutamid +2
Three ring systems have been discovered to date around small irregular objects of the solar system (Chariklo, Haumea and Quaoar). For the three bodies, material is observed near th…
JWST occultation reveals unforeseen complexity in Chariklo's ring system
Pablo Santos-Sanz, Altair R. Gomes-Júnior, Bruno E. Morgado +25
Ring systems have been discovered around several small bodies in the outer Solar System through stellar occultations. While such measurements provide key information about ring geo…
Cometary Observations in Light-Polluted Environments: A case study of Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov
Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez, Damya Souami, Maria Gritsevich +2
Comets and asteroids have long captured human curiosity, and until recently, all documented examples belonged to our Solar System. That changed with the discovery of the first know…
Origins of rings in the solar system
Bruno Sicardy, Maryame El Moutamid, Stefan Renner +2
Until about a decade ago, ring systems were only known to exist around giant planets. Each one of the four giant planets harbours its own distinctive and unique system of rings and…
A magnetar giant flare in the nearby starburst galaxy M82
Sandro Mereghetti, Michela Rigoselli, Ruben Salvaterra +32
Giant flares, short explosive events releasing up to 10 erg of energy in the gamma-ray band in less than one second, are the most spectacular manifestation of magnetars, you…
Earth-based Stellar Occultation Predictions for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Titan, and Triton: 2023-2050
Richard G. French, Damya Souami
In support of studies of decadal-timescale evolution of outer solar system atmospheres and ring systems, we present detailed Earth-based stellar occultation predictions for Jupiter…
After DART: Using the first full-scale test of a kinetic impactor to inform a future planetary defense mission
Thomas S. Statler, Sabina D. Raducan, Olivier S. Barnouin +38
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is the first full-scale test of an asteroid deflection technology. Results from the hypervelocity kinetic impact and Earth-based obse…
On the local and global properties of the gravitational spheres of influence
D. Souami, J. Cresson, C. Biernacki +1
We revisit the concept of sphere of gravitational activity, to which we give both a geometrical and physical meaning. This study aims to refine this concept in a much broader conte…
Effects of disc asymmetries on astrometric measurements - Can they mimic planets?
Quentin Kral, Jean Schneider, Grant Kennedy +1
Astrometry covers a parameter space that cannot be reached by RV or transit methods to detect terrestrial planets on wide orbits. In addition, high accuracy astrometric measurement…
