Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40m Telescope and the Science at Stake: from Interstellar Visitors to Planetary Defence
J. de León, N. Pinilla-Alonso, P. Tanga +49
Small Solar system Objects (SSOs) preserve the physical, chemical, and dynamical signatures of the Sun's protoplanetary disk. Upcoming surveys will discover vast numbers of new obj…
The ORCA-TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science case and commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory
Martin M. Roth, Pasko Roje, Stella Vjesnica +18
We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. Th…
Observing Orbital Decay in the Ultracompact Hot Subdwarf Binary System ZTFJ213056.71+442046.5
Paul Teckenburg, Thomas Kupfer, Alex J. Brown +7
Ultracompact Galactic binary systems (UCBs) emit low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). The emission of GWs is causing these systems to lose angular momentum, which is detectable…
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…
Size and shape of the trans-Neptunian object (470316) 2007 OC10: Comparison with thermal data
J. M. Gómez-Limón, R. Leiva, J. L. Ortiz +40
The shapes of only 12 trans-Neptunian objects have been directly measured, offering crucial insights into their internal structure. These properties are strongly connected to the p…
Shape and spin-state model of tumbling asteroid (319) Leona
J. Ďurech, J. L. Ortiz, M. Ferrais +14
Stellar occultations by asteroids observed from several stations are routinely used to reconstruct the asteroid's sky-plane projections. Together with the asteroid's shape model re…
The trans-Neptunian object (119951) 2002 KX14 revealed via multiple stellar occultations
J. L. Rizos, J. L. Ortiz, F. L. Rommel +55
(119951) 2002 KX14 is a large classical TNO with limited previous observations and unresolved questions regarding its physical properties. Five stellar occultations by 2002 KX14 we…
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…
