Discovery of 2 km ultra-fast rotating asteroid in Rubin DP2 catalog via varying Fourier order method
Dmitrii E. Vavilov, Siegfried Eggl, Sarah Greenstreet
Time-resolved photometry from large surveys can yield rotation periods for huge numbers of asteroids, but only if the reliability of each period is assessed automatically, since sp…
Fast and Furious: Long-term orbit integrations with collocation integrator Lobbie
Dmitrii E. Vavilov, Siegfried Eggl, Sarah Greenstreet
Efficient and accurate numerical integration methods are fundamental to studying long-term solar system dynamics, where numerical errors can accumulate over billions of orbital per…
Assessing the Predictability of Scuti Variable Stars for Spacecraft Navigation
Ahmed Khan, Linyi Hou, Siegfried Eggl
Previous studies have shown that Scuti stars can be used for determining spacecraft position and time similar to X-ray pulsar navigation, but open questions remain regarding th…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Neptune Trojans
Joseph Murtagh, Megan E. Schwamb, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +15
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), beginning full operations in late 2025, will dramatically transform solar system science by vastly e…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario Jurić +305
We report on the observation and measurement of astrometry, photometry, morphology, and activityof the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) with the NSF-…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Near-Earth Objects, Main Belt Asteroids, Jupiter Trojans, and Trans-Neptunian Objects
Jacob A. Kurlander, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Megan E. Schwamb +18
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a new 8m-class survey facility presently being commissioned in Chile, expected to begin the 10yr-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Discovery Rates and Characterizations of Centaurs
Joseph Murtagh, Megan E. Schwamb, Stephanie R. Merritt +16
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will start by the end of 2025 and operate for ten years, offering billions of observations of the southern nigh…
Sorcha: A Solar System Survey Simulator for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Stephanie R. Merritt, Grigori Fedorets, Megan E. Schwamb +20
The upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to revolutionize solar system astronomy. Unprecedented in scale, this ten-year wide…
Sorcha: Optimized Solar System Ephemeris Generation
Matthew J. Holman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Megan E. Schwamb +14
Sorcha is a solar system survey simulator built for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and future large-scale wide-field surveys. Over the ten-y…
Understanding the impact of satellites on radio astronomy observations
M. Peel, S. Eggl, M. L. Rawls +2
Radio telescopes observe extremely faint emission from astronomical objects, ranging from compact sources to large scale structures that can be seen across the whole sky. Satellite…
Call to Protect the Dark and Quiet Sky from Harmful Interference by Satellite Constellations
IAU Centre for the Protection of the Dark, Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference, Gyula I. G. Józsa +40
The growing number of satellite constellations in low Earth orbit (LEO) enhances global communications and Earth observation, and support of space commerce is a high priority of ma…
