Polarimetric Behaviour of (3200) Phaethon: New Observations with Implications for Surface Heterogeneity

Zuri Gray, Mikko Vuori, Eric MacLennan +4

The near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon exhibits unusually high linear polarisation at large phase angles. Previous observations revealed a significant difference between apparitio…

Extreme Negative Polarisation of New Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS

Zuri Gray, Stefano Bagnulo, Galin Borisov +13

We present the first polarimetric observations of the third discovered interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1), obtained pre-perihelion with FORS2/VLT, ALFOSC/NOT, and FoReRo2/RC…

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412

Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…

Gaia Focused Product Release: Sources from Service Interface Function image analysis -- Half a million new sources in omega Centauri

Gaia Collaboration, K. Weingrill, A. Mints +400

Gaia's readout window strategy is challenged by very dense fields in the sky. Therefore, in addition to standard Gaia observations, full Sky Mapper (SM) images were recorded for ni…

Gaia Focused Product Release: A catalogue of sources around quasars to search for strongly lensed quasars

Gaia Collaboration, A. Krone-Martins, C. Ducourant +398

Context. Strongly lensed quasars are fundamental sources for cosmology. The Gaia space mission covers the entire sky with the unprecedented resolution of " in the optical, ma…

Gaia Focused Product Release: Radial velocity time series of long-period variables

Gaia Collaboration, M. Trabucchi, N. Mowlavi +403

The third Gaia Data Release (DR3) provided photometric time series of more than 2 million long-period variable (LPV) candidates. Anticipating the publication of full radial-velocit…

Characterization of the ejecta from NASA/DART impact on Dimorphos: observations and Monte Carlo models

Fernando Moreno, Adriano Campo Bagatin, Gonzalo Tancredi +26

The NASA/DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft successfully crashed on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system. Following the impact, a…

Spectral analysis of basaltic asteroids observed by the Gaia space mission

Dagmara Oszkiewicz, Hanna Klimczak, Benoit Carry +4

There is a great deal of scientific interest in characterizing the basaltic asteroids (spectrally classified as V-types), as they are the key to understanding planetesimal formatio…

Neural network for determining an asteroid mineral composition from reflectance spectra

David Korda, Antti Penttilä, Arto Klami +1

Chemical and mineral compositions of asteroids reflect the formation and history of our Solar System. This knowledge is also important for planetary defence and in-space resource u…

Quasi-specular reflection from particulate media

Antti Penttilä

Specular reflection is known to play an important role in many fields of scattering applications, e.g., in remote sensing, computer graphics, optimization of visual appearance of i…
