Physical and dynamical characterization of the Euphrosyne asteroid Family
B. Yang, J. Hanus, M. Broz +5
The Euphrosyne asteroid family occupies a unique zone in orbital element space around 3.15 au and may be an important source of the low-albedo near-Earth objects. The parent body o…
Space Weathering Trends Among Carbonaceous Asteroids
Heather M. Kaluna, Joseph R. Masiero, Karen J. Meech
We present visible spectroscopic and albedo data of the 2.3 Gyr old Themis family and the <10 Myr old Beagle sub-family. The slope and albedo variations between these two families…
Search for the Return of Activity in Active Asteroid 176P/LINEAR
Henry H. Hsieh, Larry Denneau, Alan Fitzsimmons +18
We present the results of a search for the reactivation of active asteroid 176P/LINEAR during its 2011 perihelion passage using deep optical observations obtained before, during, a…
Refined Rotational Period, Pole Solution & Shape Model for (3200) Phaethon
Megan Ansdell, Karen J. Meech, Olivier Hainaut +4
(3200) Phaethon exhibits both comet- and asteroid-like properties, suggesting it could be a rare transitional object such as a dormant comet or previously volatile-rich asteroid. T…
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…
