CanariCam/GTC observations of (99942) Apophis
J. Licandro, T. Müller, C. Alvarez +2
The potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) (99942) Apophis is one of the most remarkable near-Earth asteroids (NEA) in terms of impact hazard. A good determination of its surface the…
Size and albedo distributions of asteroids in cometary orbits using WISE data
J. Licandro, V. Ali-Lagoa, G. Tancredi +1
We study the distributions of effective diameter (), beaming parameter (), and visible geometric albedo () of asteroids in cometry orbits (ACOs) populations, derived fro…
Physical properties of the extreme centaur and super-comet candidate 2013 AZ60
A. Pál, Cs. Kiss, J. Horner +12
We present estimates of the basic physical properties -- including size and albedo -- of the extreme Centaur 2013 AZ60. These properties have been derived from optical and thermal…
On the dust environment of Main-Belt Comet 313P/Gibbs
F. J. Pozuelos, A. Cabrera-Lavers, J. Licandro +1
We present observations carried out using the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and an interpretative model of the dust environment of activated asteroid 313P/Gibbs. We discuss three…
Rotationally resolved spectroscopy of dwarf planet (136472) Makemake
V. Lorenzi, N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Licandro
Context. Icy dwarf planets are key for studying the chemical and physical states of ices in the outer solar system. The study of secular and rotational variations gives us hints of…
Astronomical Observations of Volatiles on Asteroids
Andrew S. Rivkin, Humberto Campins, Joshua P. Emery +4
We have long known that water and hydroxyl are important components in meteorites and asteroids. However, in the time since the publication of Asteroids III, evolution of astronomi…
