The Massalia asteroid family as the origin of ordinary L chondrites
Michaël Marsset, Pierre Vernazza, Miroslav Brož +10
Studies of micrometeorites in mid-Ordovician limestones and Earth's impact craters indicate that our planet witnessed a massive infall of ordinary L chondrite material 466 million…
Asteroid collisions: expected visibility and rate
E. O. Ofek, D. Polishook, D. Kushnir +9
Asteroid collisions are one of the main processes responsible for the evolution of bodies in the main belt. Using observations of the Dimorphos impact by the DART spacecraft, we es…
UV to near-IR observations of the DART-Dimorphos collision
E. O. Ofek, D. Kushnir, D. Polishook +15
The impact of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft with Dimorphos allows us to study asteroid collision physics, including momentum transfer, the ejecta propertie…
A search for Kuiper Belt occultations using the Weizmann Fast Astronomical Survey Telescope
Guy Nir, Eran O. Ofek, David Polishook +2
Measuring the size distribution of small (km-scale) KBOs can help constrain models of Solar System formation and planetary migration. Such small, distant bodies are hard to detect…
Astrometric detection of binary asteroids
Noam Segev, Eran O. Ofek, David Polishook
Binary asteroids probe thermal-radiation effects on the main-belt asteroids' evolution. We discuss the possibility of detecting binary minor planet systems by the astrometric wobbl…
Asteroid rotation periods from the Palomar Transient Factory survey
D. Polishook, E. O. Ofek, A. Waszczak +17
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a synoptic survey designed to explore the transient and variable sky in a wide variety of cadences. We use PTF observations of fields that we…
Masses and Orbital Constraints for the OGLE-2006-BLG-109Lb,c Jupiter/Saturn Analog Planetary System
D. P. Bennett, S. H. Rhie, S. Nikolaev +70
We present a new analysis of the Jupiter+Saturn analog system, OGLE-2006-BLG-109Lb,c, which was the first double planet system discovered with the gravitational microlensing method…
