From orbit to ground: pre-impact meteorite strewn field predictions for imminent impactors and meteorite recovery
Anna Moscati, Marco Fenucci, Laura Faggioli +3
The flux of meteoroids reaching the Earth is continuous, ranging from microscopic grains to occasional metre and decametre scale bodies. The smallest ones fully ablate in the upper…
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…
Discovery and Preliminary Characterization of a Third Interstellar Object: 3I/ATLAS
Darryl Z. Seligman, Marco Micheli, Davide Farnocchia +44
We report initial observations aimed at the characterization of a third interstellar object. This object, 3I/ATLAS or C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), was discovered on 2025 July 1 UT and has an…
Astrometry, orbit determination, and thermal inertia of the Tianwen-2 target asteroid (469219) Kamo`oalewa
Marco Fenucci, Bojan Novaković, Pengfei Zhang +9
Context. (469219) Kamo`oalewa is a small near-Earth asteroid, which is currently a quasi-satellite of the Earth. Lightcurve measurements also reveal a rotation period of only about…
The fall of asteroid 2024 XA and the location of possible meteorites
Francesco Gianotto, Albino Carbognani, Marco Fenucci +18
Asteroid 2024 XA was discovered on 3 December 2024 at 05:54 UTC by the Bok telescope in Kitt Peak, Arizona, and impacted Earth about 10 hours later over a remote area of the Sa…
Ab initio strewn field for small asteroids impacts
Albino Carbognani, Marco Fenucci, Raffaele Salerno +1
In recent years, nine small near-Earth asteroids were discovered a few hours before the collision with the Earth: these are about one meter in diameter objects that have all disint…
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…
Identifying parent bodies of meteorites among near-Earth asteroids
Albino Carbognani, Marco Fenucci
Meteorites provide an important source of information about the formation and composition of asteroids, because the level of accuracy of studies and analyses performed in a laborat…
