Detection and characterisation of binary asteroid candidates through stellar occultations
R. Lallemand, J. Desmars, B. Sicardy +256
Binary asteroids provide key access to fundamental parameters of Solar System remnants and planetary formations. However, the current knowledge of binary asteroids remains strongly…
A high geometric albedo and small size of the Haumea cluster member (24835) 1995 SM55 from a stellar occultation and photometric observations
J. L. Ortiz, N. Morales, B. Sicardy +98
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are among the most ancient bodies of the solar system. Understanding their physical properties is key to constraining their origin and the evolution…
Asteroid sizes determined with thermophysical model and stellar occultations
A. Choukroun, A. Marciniak, J. Ďurech +165
Context. The sizes of many asteroids, especially slowly rotating, low-amplitude targets, remain poorly constrained due to selection effects. These biases limit the availability of…
The trans-Neptunian object (119951) 2002 KX14 revealed via multiple stellar occultations
J. L. Rizos, J. L. Ortiz, F. L. Rommel +55
(119951) 2002 KX14 is a large classical TNO with limited previous observations and unresolved questions regarding its physical properties. Five stellar occultations by 2002 KX14 we…
A study of centaur (54598) Bienor from multiple stellar occultations and rotational light curves
J. L. Rizos, E. Fernández-Valenzuela, J. L. Ortiz +40
Centaurs, distinguished by their volatile-rich compositions, play a pivotal role in understanding the formation and evolution of the early solar system, as they represent remnants…
Scaling slowly rotating asteroids by stellar occultations
A. Marciniak, J. Ďurech, A. Choukroun +176
As evidenced by recent survey results, majority of asteroids are slow rotators (P>12 h), but lack spin and shape models due to selection bias. This bias is skewing our overall unde…
Constraints on (2060) Chiron's size, shape, and surrounding material from the November 2018 and September 2019 stellar occultations
Felipe Braga-Ribas, C. L. Pereira, B. Sicardy +24
After the discovery of rings around the largest known Centaur object, (10199) Chariklo, we carried out observation campaigns of stellar occultations produced by the second-largest…
