An Efficient Shift-and-Stack Algorithm Applied to Detection Catalogs

Steven Stetzler, Mario Jurić, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +22

The boundary of solar system object discovery lies in detecting its faintest members. However, their discovery in detection catalogs from imaging surveys is fundamentally limited b…

The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). VII. The Strengths of Three Superfast Rotating Main-belt Asteroids from a Preliminary Search of DEEP Data

Ryder Strauss, Andrew McNeill, David E. Trilling +19

Superfast rotators (SFRs) are small solar system objects that rotate faster than generally possible for a cohesionless rubble pile. Their rotational characteristics allow us to mak…
