Reliability of Zodiacal Background Models at Small Solar Elongations
Csaba Kiss, Thomas G. Müller, Javier Licandro +6
Present models of the zodiacal light (scattered sunlight from interplanetary dust in the visible) and zodiacal emission (thermal emission in the mid-infrared) are primarily constra…
Infrared-to-visible albedo ratio of Phobos: Comparison with primitive asteroids
T. J. Dyer, J. Beccarelli, M. Delbo +5
Aims. The ratio between infrared and visible albedo, pIR/pV, provides a simple proxy for the spectral slope of asteroid surfaces between the visible and near-infrared wavelength ra…
Twin Impact Lunar Telescope network: Lunar Impact Flash observations of the 2025 Geminids
Daniel Sheward, Marco Delbo, Chrysa Avdellidou +23
Meteoroid impacts on the Moon, observed from Earth as flashes typically lasting a few tens of milliseconds, have been monitored for three decades for determining meteoroids' size a…
New Insights into Erg Chech 002 Analogues in the Main Belt from Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
M. Galinier, C. Avdellidou, M. Delbo +1
Erg Chech 002 is an andesitic meteorite that formed early in the Solar System's history, and that is thought to have been formed in the primitive crust of an early accreted and dif…
Searching for primitive, dark, spectrally red asteroid families in the main belt with Gaia
Ullas Bhat, Chrysa Avdellidou, Marco Delbo +1
Dark asteroids with featureless neutral to red spectra are of particular interest due to their ability to potentially harbour primitive, hydrated, and possibly organic-rich materia…
Gaia and IRTF abundance of A-type main belt asteroids
Marco Delbo, Chrysa Avdellidou, Marjorie Galinier +4
The Missing Mantle Problem refers to the apparent scarcity of olivine rich (A-type) asteroids in the main belt, despite expectations that such bodies should be common if differenti…
Multi-epoch spectro-photometric characterization of the minimoon 2024 PT in the visible and near-infrared
Jin Beniyama, Bryce T. Bolin, Alexey V. Sergeyev +5
2024 PT is a tiny ( m) near-Earth asteroid (NEA) discovered in August 2024. 2024 PT was gravitationally bound to the Earth-Moon system from September to November 2…
The discovery and characterization of Earth-crossing asteroid 2024 YR
Bryce T. Bolin, Josef Hanuš, Larry Denneau +9
We describe observations and physical characteristics of Earth-crossing asteroid 2024 YR, discovered on 2024 December 27 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System. T…
Size Constraint on Hayabusa2 Extended Mission Rendezvous Target 1998~KY via VLT/VISIR Non-detection
Jin Beniyama, Thomas G. Müller, Marco Delbo +4
1998~KY is a tiny near-Earth asteroid () discovered in 1998. It has been selected as the target of the Hayabusa2 extended mission, which will rendezvous with 1998 KY…
Keck and Gemini characterization of rendezvous target 1998 KY
Bryce T. Bolin, Christoffer Fremling, Matthew Belyakov +7
Near-earth object (NEO) 1998 KY is a target of the spacecraft, which it will rendezvous with in July 2031. The asteroid is a rapid rotator and has a large out-…
Discovery of the first olivine-dominated A-type asteroid family
Marjorie Galinier, Marco Delbo, Chrysa Avdellidou +1
The classical theory of differentiation states that due to the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements, some asteroids form an iron core, an olivine-rich mantle, and a…
Asteroid Models from Multiple Data Sources
J. Durech, B. Carry, M. Delbo +2
In the past decade, hundreds of asteroid shape models have been derived using the lightcurve inversion method. At the same time, a new framework of 3-D shape modeling based on the…
