Ground-based Characterization of Hayabusa2 Mission Target Asteroid 162173 Ryugu: Constraining Mineralogical Composition in Preparation for Spacecraft Operations
Lucille Le Corre, Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy +7
Asteroids that are targets of spacecraft missions are interesting because they present us with an opportunity to validate ground-based spectral observations. One such object is nea…
A possible dynamically Cold Classical contact binary: (126719) 2002 CC249
Audrey Thirouin, Scott S. Sheppard
Images of the Kuiper belt object (126719) 2002 CC249 obtained in 2016 and 2017 using the 6.5m Magellan-Baade Telescope and the 4.3m Discovery Channel Telescope are presented. A lig…
2004 TT357: A potential contact binary in the Trans-Neptunian belt
Audrey Thirouin, Scott S. Sheppard, Keith S. Noll
We report photometric observations of the trans-Neptunian object 2004~TT obtained in 2015 and 2017 using the 4.3~m Lowell's Discovery Channel Telescope. We derive a rotatio…
The fast spin of near-Earth asteroid (455213) 2001 OE84, revisited after 14 years: constraints on internal structure
David Polishook, Nicholas Moskovitz, Audrey Thirouin +5
At a mean diameter of ~650 m, the near-Earth asteroid (455213) 2001 OE84 (OE84 for short) has a rapid rotation period of 0.486542+-0.000002 hours, which is uncommon for asteroids l…
Study of the plutino object (208996) 2003 AZ84 from stellar occultations: size, shape and topographic features
A. Dias-Oliveira, B. Sicardy, J. L. Ortiz +60
We present results derived from four stellar occultations by the plutino object (208996) 2003~AZ, detected at January 8, 2011 (single-chord event), February 3, 2012 (multi-c…
TNOs are Cool: a survey of the Transneptunian Region XII. Thermal light curves of Haumea, 2003 VS2 and 2003 AZ84 with Herschel Space Observatory-PACS
P. Santos-Sanz, E. Lellouch, O. Groussin +10
Time series observations of the dwarf planet Haumea and the Plutinos 2003VS2 and 2003AZ84 with Herschel/PACS are presented in this work. Thermal emission of these trans-Neptunian o…
