Spectral Energy Distribution and Polarimetric Properties of Dust in the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
Seungwon Choi, Masateru Ishiguro, Hiroyuki Naito +13
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS exhibits unusual polarimetric properties compared with Solar System comets, while constraints on its fundamental physical properties, such as dust a…
Dust Properties of the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Revealed by Optical and Near-Infrared Polarimetry
Seungwon Choi, Masateru Ishiguro, Jun Takahashi +17
We present independent polarimetric observations of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, including the first near-infrared polarimetric measurements. Using imaging polarimeters, we me…
SOLO: wide-field asteroid light curve monitoring system for SPHEREx
Bumhoo Lim, Seungwon Choi, Yoonsoo P. Bach +8
We present the Solar system Objects Light curve Observatory (SOLO), a wide-field, high-cadence optical survey system designed to obtain absolutely calibrated asteroid light curves,…
SQUIDPOL: Seoul National University QUadruple Imaging Device for POLarimetry
Sunho Jin, Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro +9
We present SQUIDPOL, a low-cost, multi-channel optical imaging polarimeter that performs simultaneous linear polarization measurements using a rotating half-wave plate, a non-polar…
SPHEREx Pre-Perihelion Mapping of , , and in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
Carey M. Lisse, Yoonsoo P. Bach, Brendan P. Crill +35
From 01- to 15-Aug-2025UT, the SPHEREx spacecraft observed interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. Using spectrophotometry at m, light curves, spectra, and imaging of…
Simulation of Impact-induced seismic shaking on asteroid (25143) Itokawa to address its resurfacing process
Sunho Jin, Masateru Ishiguro
The surface of asteroid (25143) Itokawa shows both fresh and mature terrains, despite its short space weathering timescale of approximately 1000 years, as inferred from recent stud…
Optical and Near-Infrared Contemporaneous Polarimetry of C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
Bumhoo Lim, Masateru Ishiguro, Jun Takahashi +11
We conducted contemporaneous optical and near-infrared polarimetric and spectroscopic observations of C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, hereafter T-A) from 2024 October 16 to December…
New evidence supporting past dust ejections from active asteroid (4015) Wilson-Harrington
Sunho Jin, Masateru Ishiguro, Jooyeon Geem +15
Context. (4015) Wilson-Harrington (hereafter, WH) was discovered as a comet in 1949 but has a dynamical property consistent with that of a near-Earth asteroid. Although there is a…
Study of hydrated asteroids via their polarimetric properties at low phase angles
Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro, Hiroyuki Naito +11
Context. Ch-type asteroids are distinctive among other dark asteroids in that they exhibit deep negative polarization branches (NPBs). Nevertheless, the physical and compositional…
Spectral Type and Geometric Albedo of (98943) 2001 CC21, the Hayabusa2# Mission Target
Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro, Mikael Granvik +18
We conducted optical polarimetry and near-infrared spectroscopy of JAXA's Hayabusa2# mission target, (98943) 2001 CC21, in early 2023. Our new observations indicated that this aste…
Spectral evolution of dark asteroid surfaces induced by space weathering over a decade
Sunao Hasegawa, Francesca E. DeMeo, Michael Marsset +20
The surface of airless bodies like asteroids in the Solar System are known to be affected by space weathering. Experiments simulating space weathering are essential for studying th…
(3200) Phaethon Polarimetry in the Negative Branch: New Evidence for the Anhydrous Nature of the DESTINY+ Target Asteroid
Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro, Jun Takahashi +23
We report on the first polarimetric study of (3200) Phaethon, the target of JAXA's DESTINY mission, in the negative branch to ensure its anhydrous nature and to derive an accur…
Polarimetric Properties of the Near--Sun Asteroid (155140) 2005 UD in Comparison with Other Asteroids and Meteoritic Samples
Masateru Ishiguro, Yoonsoo P. Bach, Jooyeon Geem +26
The investigation of asteroids near the Sun is important for understanding the final evolutionary stage of primitive solar system objects. A near-Sun asteroid, (155140) 2005 UD, ha…
A polarimetric study of asteroids in comet-like orbits
Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro, Yoonsoo P. Bach +16
Context. Asteroids in comet-like orbits (ACOs) consist of asteroids and dormant comets. Due to their similar appearance, it is challenging to distinguish dormant comets from ACOs v…
