The Non-Principal-Axis Rotation and Convex Shape Model of Earth Quasi-Satellite and the Target of China's Tianwen-2 Mission (469219) Kamo`oalewa
Xiaoyu Sun, Zhijun Song, Hanjie Tan +8
(469219) Kamo`oalewa is the most stable Earth quasi-satellite and the target of China's Tianwen-2 asteroid sample return mission. Due to its small size, fast rotation, and the limi…
Dynamic Trajectory Analysis of Meteoroids Showing Minimal Deceleration
Thomas Stevenson, Ellie Sansom, Hadrien Devillepoix +8
Meteoroids decelerate and ablate as they descend through the atmosphere, however a portion of instrumentally observed meteors show little measurable deceleration and remain poorly…
Unmasking (44) Nysa: Evidence for a trilobate structure
Kate Minker, Anthony Berdeu, Gianluca Li Causi +16
Context. (44) Nysa is one of the largest known E-type asteroids. Light curve inversion models have indicated that it may have an elongated shape commonly found in large binary syst…
A Machine Learning Approach to Meteor Classification
Samantha Hemmelgarn, Nicholas Moskovitz, Denis Vida
We use machine learning to develop a framework for classifying meteoroids based on 13 directly observed parameters from the Global Meteor Network. This method adds depth to the $K_…
NEO Colors from The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS)
Nicholas Moskovitz, Theodore Kareta, Samantha Hemmelgarn +13
We present spectro-photometric griz colors for 189 near-Earth objects (NEOs) collected by the Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS). Data acquisition involved non-sim…
Astrometric follow-up of near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 during a Torino scale level 3 alert
Marco Micheli, Maxime Devogèle, Larry Denneau +38
The discovery of 2024 YR4 presented the planetary defense community with the most significant impact threat in almost two decades, reaching level 3 on the Torino scale. The communi…
Rapid-response characterization of near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 during a Torino Scale 3 alert
Maxime Devogèle, Olivier R. Hainaut, Marco Micheli +32
On 27 December 2024, near-Earth object (NEO) 2024 YR was discovered by the ATLAS survey and identified as a virtual impactor. A few weeks later, it eventually reached level 3 o…
Catastrophic disruption of asteroid 2023 CX1 and implications for planetary defense
Auriane Egal, Denis Vida, François Colas +94
Mitigation of the threat from airbursting asteroids requires an understanding of the potential risk they pose for the ground. How asteroids release their kinetic energy in the atmo…
On The Lunar Origin of Near-Earth Asteroid 2024 PT5
Theodore Kareta, Oscar Fuentes-Muñoz, Nicholas Moskovitz +2
The Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) 2024 PT5 is on an Earth-like orbit which remained in Earth's immediate vicinity for several months at the end of 2024. PT5's orbit is challenging to p…
Telescope-to-Fireball Characterization of Earth Impactor 2022 WJ1
Theodore Kareta, Denis Vida, Marco Micheli +10
Comparing how an asteroid appears in space to its ablation behavior during atmospheric passage and finally to the properties of associated meteorites represents the ultimate probe…
How Meteor Showers Can Guide the Search for Long Period Comets
Samantha Hemmelgarn, Nicholas Moskovitz, Stuart Pilorz +1
With orbital periods longer than 200 years, most long-period comets (LPCs) remain undiscovered until they are in-bound towards perihelion. The comets that pass close to Earth's orb…
Properties of outer solar system pebbles during planetesimal formation from meteor observations
Peter Jenniskens, Paul R. Estrada, Stuart Pilorz +42
In the late stages of accretion leading up to the formation of planetesimals, particles grew to pebbles the size of 1-mm to tens of cm. That is the same size range that dominates t…
