We present multiband, long-baseline photometric observations of interstellar comet 3I throughout its 2025--2026 apparition using coordinated ground-based global relay observations.…
Discovery and dynamics of a Sedna-like object with a perihelion of 66 au
Ying-Tung Chen, Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Yukun Huang +30
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with large perihelion distances ( au) and semi-major axes ( au) provide insights into the early evolution of the solar system and th…
Photometry of the Didymos system across the DART impact apparition
Nicholas Moskovitz, Cristina Thomas, Petr Pravec +78
On 26 September 2022, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the satellite of binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didymos. This demonstrated the…
Physical properties of the slow-rotating near-Earth asteroid (2059) Baboquivari from one apparition
Orhan Erece, Irek Khamitov, Murat Kaplan +6
In this study, we carried out photometric, spectroscopic, and for the first time, polarimetric observations of the Amor-type near-Earth asteroid (2059) Baboquivari. Our findings re…
Reflectivity of Venus' dayside disk during the 2020 observation campaign: outcomes and future perspectives
Yeon Joo Lee, Antonio García Muñoz, Atsushi Yamazaki +28
We performed a unique Venus observation campaign to measure the disk brightness of Venus over a broad range of wavelengths in August and September 2020. The primary goal of the cam…
Another Shipment of Six Short-Period Giant Planets from TESS
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Samuel N. Quinn, Andrew Vanderburg +119
We present the discovery and characterization of six short-period, transiting giant planets from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) -- TOI-1811 (TIC 376524552), TO…
FOSSIL: I. The Spin Rate Limit of Jupiter Trojans
Chan-Kao Chang, Ying-Tung Chen, Wesley C. Fraser +25
Rotation periods of 53 small (diameters km) Jupiter Trojans (JTs) were derived using the high-cadence light curves obtained by the FOSSIL phase I survey, a Subaru/Hype…
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…
Shape model and spin state of non-principal axis rotator (5247) Krylov
H. -J. Lee, J. Ďurech, M. -J. Kim +12
Context. The study of non-principal axis (NPA) rotators can provide important clues to the evolution of the spin state of asteroids. However, so far, very few studies have focused…
The Geometric Albedo of (4179) Toutatis Estimated from KMTNet DEEP-South Observations
Yoonsoo P. Bach, Masateru Ishiguro, Sunho Jin +6
We derive the geometric albedo of a near-Earth asteroid, (4179) Toutatis, to investigate its surface physical conditions. The asteroid has been studied rigorously not only via grou…
Investigation of surface homogeneity of (3200) Phaethon
Hee-Jae Lee, Myung-Jin Kim, Dong-Heun Kim +7
Time-series multi-band photometry and spectrometry were performed in Nov.-Dec. 2017 to investigate the homogeneity of the surface of asteroid (3200) Phaethon. We found that Phaetho…
New Photometric Pipeline to Explore Temporal and Spatial Variability with KMTNet DEEP-South Observations
Seo-Won Chang, Yong-Ik Byun, Min-Su Shin +6
The DEEP-South photometric census of small Solar System bodies produces massive time-series data of variable, transient or moving objects as a by-product. To fully investigate unex…
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…
Asteroid Ryugu Before the Hayabusa2 Encounter
