Photometric characterization of near-Earth asteroids: rotation, taxonomy, and candidate evidence for internal cohesion

A. Carbognani, A. Buzzoni, M. Barbetta +1

We present the results of a survey of previously uncharacterized near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) conducted between the second half of 2024 and the first months of 2026 using broadband…

Investigation of the dynamics and origin of the NEA pair 2021 PH27 and 2025 GN1

Albino Carbognani, Marco Fenucci, Toni Santana-Ros +2

We analyse the association between the NEAs 2021 PH27 and 2025 GN1, which share similar heliocentric Keplerian elements and the same taxonomic classification. First, we confirm the…

Long-term orbital evolution of Dimorphos boulders and implications on the origin of meteorites

M. Fenucci, A. Carbognani

By using recent observations of the Dydimos-Dimorphos system from the Hubble Space Telescope, 37 boulders with a size of 4 to 7 meters ejected from the system during the impact wit…
