Intermittent dust mass loss from activated asteroid P/2013 P5 (PANSTARRS)
F. Moreno., J. Licandro, C. Álvarez-Iglesias +2
We present observations and models of the dust environment of activated asteroid P/2013 P5 (PANSTARRS). The object displayed a complex morphology during the observations, with the…
Thermophysical properties of near-Earth asteroid (341843) 2008 EV5 from WISE data
V. Alí-Lagoa, L. Lionni, M. Delbo +3
Aims. To derive the thermal inertia of 2008 EV, the baseline target for the Marco Polo-R mission proposal, and infer information about the size of the particles on its surface.…
739 observed NEAs and new 2-4m survey statistics within the EURONEAR network
O. Vaduvescu, M. Birlan, A. Tudorica +36
We report follow-up observations of 477 program Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) using nine telescopes of the EURONEAR network having apertures between 0.3 and 4.2 m. Adding these NEAs…
Thermal Properties, Sizes, and Size Distribution of Jupiter-Family Cometary Nuclei
Y. R. Fernandez, M. S. Kelley, P. L. Lamy +14
We present results from SEPPCoN, an on-going Survey of the Ensemble Physical Properties of Cometary Nuclei. In this report we discuss mid-infrared measurements of the thermal emiss…
Additional spectra of asteroid 1996 FG3, backup target of the ESA MarcoPolo-R mission
J. de Leon, V. Lorenzi, V. Ali-Lagoa +3
Near-Earth binary asteroid (175706) 1996 FG3 is the current backup target of the ESA MarcoPolo-R mission, selected for the study phase of ESA M3 missions. It is a primitive (C-type…
The dust environment of Main-Belt Comet P/2012 T1 (PANSTARRS)
Fernando Moreno, Antonio Cabrera-Lavers, Ovidiu Vaduvescu +2
Main-Belt Comet P/2012 T1 (PANSTARRS) has been imaged using the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) at six epochs in the period from…
The Persistent Activity of Jupiter-Family Comets at 3 to 7 AU
Michael S. Kelley, Yanga R. Fernandez, Javier Licandro +14
We present an analysis of comet activity based on the Spitzer Space Telescope component of the Survey of the Ensemble Physical Properties of Cometary Nuclei. We show that the surve…
Physical properties of B-type asteroids from WISE data
Víctor Alí-Lagoa, Julia de León, Javier Licandro +4
Aims: Our aim is to obtain more information about the physical nature of B-type asteroids and extend on the previous work by studying their physical properties derived from fitting…
Visible and near-infrared observations of asteroid 2012 DA14 during its closest approach of February 15, 2013
J. de Leon, J. L. Ortiz, N. Pinilla-Alonso +9
Near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14 made its closest approach on February 15, 2013, when it passed at a distance of 27,700 km from the Earth's surface. It was the first time an asteroid…
Surface composition and dynamical evolution of two retrograde objects in the outer solar system: 2008 YB3 and 2005 VD
N. Pinilla-Alonso, A. Alvarez-Candal, M. D. Melita +8
Most of the objects in the trans-Neptunian belt (TNb) and related populations move in prograde orbits with low eccentricity and inclination. However, the list of icy minor bodies m…
