NEOROCKS project: surface properties of small near-Earth asteroids
T. Hromakina, M. Birlan, M. A. Barucci +11
We present new results of the observing program which is a part of the NEOROCKS project aimed to improve knowledge on physical properties of near-Earth Objects (NEOs) for planetary…
Volatile transport modeling on Triton with new observational constraints
T. Bertrand, E. Lellouch, B. J. Holler +18
Neptune's moon Triton shares many similarities with Pluto, including volatile cycles of N2, CH4 and CO, and represents a benchmark case for the study of surface-atmosphere interact…
Phase reddening on asteroid Bennu from visible and near-infrared spectroscopy
S. Fornasier, P. H. Hasselmann, J. D. P Deshapriya +10
The NASA mission OSIRIS-REx has been observing near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu in close proximity since December 2018. In this work, we investigate spectral phase reddening -- t…
A spectroscopic survey of the small near-Earth asteroid population: peculiar taxonomic distribution and phase reddening
Davide Perna, Maria Antonietta Barucci, Marcello Fulchignoni +6
We present the results of the first-ever visible spectroscopic survey fully dedicated to the small (absolute magnitude H>20) near-Earth asteroid (NEA) population. Observations have…
Olivine-rich asteroids in the near-Earth space
M. Popescu, D. Perna, M. A. Barucci +6
In the framework of a 30-night spectroscopic survey of small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) we present new results regarding the identification of olivine-rich objects. The following…
An investigation of the low-DeltaV near-Earth asteroids (341843) 2008 EV5 and (52381) 1993 HA. Two suitable targets for the ARM and MarcoPolo-M5 space missions
D. Perna, M. Popescu, F. Monteiro +3
The Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) under development by NASA is being planned to collect a multi-meter boulder from a near-Earth asteroid (NEA), and to bring it to the cis-lunar s…
Detection of exposed HO ice on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
M. A. Barucci, G. Filacchione, S. Fornasier +42
Since the orbital insertion of the Rosetta spacecraft, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/C-G) has been mapped by OSIRIS camera and VIRTIS spectro-imager, producing a huge quanti…
MICADO: first light imager for the E-ELT
R. Davies, J. Schubert, M. Hartl +80
MICADO will equip the E-ELT with a first light capability for diffraction limited imaging at near-infrared wavelengths. The instrument's observing modes focus on various flavours o…
Water Ice and Dust in the Innermost Coma of Comet 103P/Hartley 2
Silvia Protopapa, Jessica M. Sunshine, Lori M. Feaga +7
On November 4th, 2010, the Deep Impact eXtended Investigation (DIXI) successfully encountered comet 103P/Hartley 2, when it was at a heliocentric distance of 1.06 AU. Spatially res…
High-contrast observations of 136108 Haumea. A crystalline water-ice multiple system
Christophe Dumas, Benoit Carry, Daniel Hestroffer +1
Context. The trans-neptunian region of the Solar System is populated by a large variety of icy bodies showing great diversity in orbital behavior, size, surface color and compositi…
