When the horseshoe fits: Characterizing 2023 FY3 with the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and the Two-meter Twin Telescope
R. de la Fuente Marcos, C. de la Fuente Marcos, J. de León +5
Context. The Arjuna asteroid belt is loosely defined as a diverse group of small asteroids that follow dynamically cold, Earth-like orbits. Most of them are not actively engaged in…
A large topographic feature on the surface of the trans-Neptunian object (307261) 2002 MS measured from stellar occultations
F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. L. Ortiz +201
This work aims at constraining the size, shape, and geometric albedo of the dwarf planet candidate 2002 MS4 through the analysis of nine stellar occultation events. Using multichor…
Borderline hyperbolic comet C/2021 O3 (PANSTARRS) was fading as it approached the Sun
M. Evangelista-Santana, M. De Prá, J. M. Carvano +13
We present an observational and numerical study of the borderline hyperbolic comet C/2021 O3 (PANSTARRS) performed during its recent passage through the inner Solar system. Our obs…
Discovery and physical characterization as the first response to a potential asteroid collision: The case of 2023 DZ2
Marcel M. Popescu, O. Văduvescu, Julia de León +15
Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that may evolve into impactors deserve detailed threat assessment studies. Early physical characterization of a would-be impactor may help in optimizing…
ATLAS-TEIDE: The next generations of ATLAS units for the Teide Observatory
Javier Licandro, John Tonry, Miguel R. Alarcon +2
In this work we present the design of the ATLAS unit (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) that will be installed at Teide Observatory in Tenerife island (Spain). ATLAS-T…
Scientific CMOS sensors in Astronomy: IMX455 and IMX411
Miguel R. Alarcon, Javier Licandro, Miquel Serra-Ricart +3
Scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) detectors have developed quickly in recent years thanks to their low cost and high availability. They also have some advan…
SG-WAS: a new Wireless Autonomous Night Sky Brightness Sensor
Miguel R. Alarcon, Marta Puig-Subirà, Miquel Serra-Ricart +3
The main features of SG-WAS (SkyGlow Wireless Autonomous Sensor), a low-cost device for measuring Night Sky Brightness (NSB), are presented. SG-WAS is based on the TSL237 sensor --…
Natural Night Sky Brightness during Solar Minimum
M. R. Alarcon, M. Serra-Ricart, S. Lemes-Perera +1
In 2018, Solar Cycle 24 entered into a solar minimum phase. During this period, 11 million zenithal night sky brightness (NSB) data were collected at different dark sites around th…
The active centaur 2020 MK4
C. de la Fuente Marcos, R. de la Fuente Marcos, J. Licandro +5
Context. Centaurs go around the Sun between the orbits of Jupiter and Neptune. Only a fraction of the known centaurs have been found to display comet-like features. Comet 29P/Schwa…
