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,…

Gaia DR3 asteroid reflectance spectra: L-type families, memberships, and ages

Roberto Balossi, Paolo Tanga, Alexey Sergeyev +2

The Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) contains reflectance spectra at visible wavelengths for 60,518 asteroids over the range between 374-1034 nm, representing a large sample that is well…

Binary asteroid candidates in Gaia DR3 astrometry

Luana Liberato, Paolo Tanga, David Mary +7

Asteroids with companions constitute an excellent sample for studying the collisional and dynamical evolution of minor planets. The currently known binary population were discovere…

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…

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…

Asteroids' reflectance from Gaia DR3: Artificial reddening at near-UV wavelengths

Fernando Tinaut-Ruano, Eri Tatsumi, Paolo Tanga +6

Aims. We aim to assess the suitability in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) region of the solar analogues selected by the team responsible for the asteroid reflectance included in Gaia Da…
