Thermal inertia of main belt asteroids smaller than 100 km from IRAS data
Marco Delbo, Paolo Tanga
Recent works have shown that the thermal inertia of km-sized near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) is more than two orders of magnitude higher than that of main belt asteroids (MBAs) with si…
Asteroid occultations today and tomorrow: toward the GAIA era
P. Tanga, M. Delbo
Context: Observation of star occultations is a powerful tool to determine shapes and sizes of asteroids. This is key information necessary for studying the evolution of the asteroi…
Asteroids. From Observations to Models
Daniel Hestroffer, Paolo Tanga
We will discuss some specific applications to the rotation state and the shapes of moderately large asteroids, and techniques of observations putting some emphasis on the HST/FGS i…
Gravitational instability and clustering in a disk of planetesimals
P. Tanga, S. J. Weidenschilling, P. Michel +1
For a long time, gravitational instability in the disk of planetesimals has been suspected to be the main engine responsible for the beginning of dust growth, its advantage being t…
