Physical Characterization of Asteroid (16583) Oersted Combining Stellar Occultation and Photometric Data

Josef Hanuš, Marco Delbo, Petr Pokorný +2

We report a successful observation of a stellar occultation by asteroid (16583) Oersted, enabling a detailed physical characterization of its shape, spin state, and surface propert…

An ancient L- type family associated to (460) Scania in the Middle Main Belt as revealed by Gaia DR3 spectra

Roberto Balossi, Paolo Tanga, Marco Delbo +2

Asteroid families are typically identified using hierarchical clustering methods (HCM) in the proper element phase space. However, these methods struggle with overlapping families,…

Palomar discovery and initial characterization of naked-eye long period comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

B. T. Bolin, F. J. Masci, D. A. Duev +11

Long-period comets are planetesimal remnants constraining the environment and volatiles of the protoplanetary disc. We report the discovery of hyperbolic long-period comet C/2022 E…

Gaia view of primitive inner-belt asteroid families: Searching for the origins of asteroids Bennu and Ryugu

Marco Delbo, Chrysa Avdellidou, Kevin J. Walsh

Near-Earth asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, were visited, characterised, and sampled by the Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx missions: remote sensing data and sample return analysis showed that…

Extending Lunar Impact Flash Observations into the Daytime with Short-Wave Infrared

Daniel Sheward, Marco Delbo, Chrysa Avdellidou +7

Lunar impact flash (LIF) observations typically occur in R, I, or unfiltered light, and are only possible during night, targeting the night side of a 10-60% illumination Moon, whil…

Identification of a 4.3 billion year old asteroid family and planetesimal population in the Inner Main Belt

Salvatore Ferrone, Marco Delbo, Chrysa Avdellidou +4

After performing a reassessment of the known dynamical asteroid families in the inner main belt, we report a newly discovered ancient asteroid family with an estimated age of $4.3\…
