The shape and spin state of (275677) 2000 RS11 from ground-based radar and optical observations
Richard E. Cannon, Agata Rożek, Kaley Brauer +12
Near-Earth asteroid (275677) 2000 RS11 was observed over 5 days in March 2014 with both the Arecibo (2380 MHz, 12.6 cm) and Goldstone (8560 MHz, 3.5 cm) planetary radar systems. Th…
Shape and spin state model of contact binary (388188) 2006 DP14 using combined radar and optical observations
Richard E. Cannon, Agata Rozek, Marina Brozović +36
Contact binaries are found throughout the solar system. The recent discovery of Selam, the satellite of MBA (152830) Dinkinesh, by the NASA LUCY mission has made it clear that the…
Physical modelling of near-Earth asteroid (23187) 2000 PN9 with ground-based optical and radar observations
L. Dover, S. C. Lowry, A. Rożek +19
We present a physical model and spin-state analysis of the potentially hazardous asteroid (23187) 2000 PN9. As part of a long-term campaign to make direct detections of the YORP ef…
ALMA Observations of the DART Impact: Characterizing the Ejecta at Sub-Millimeter Wavelengths
Nathan X. Roth, Stefanie N. Milam, Anthony J. Remijan +12
We report observations of the Didymos-Dimorphos binary asteroid system using the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) in support…
Orbital Period Change of Dimorphos Due to the DART Kinetic Impact
Cristina A. Thomas, Shantanu P. Naidu, Peter Scheirich +46
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft successfully performed the first test of a kinetic impactor for asteroid deflection by impacting Dimorphos, the secondary of…
