Hayabusa2 is the Japanese Asteroid Return Mission and targeted the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu, conducted by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The goal of this mission…
Utilizing Small Telescopes Operated by Citizen Scientists for Transiting Exoplanet Follow-up
Robert T. Zellem, Kyle A. Pearson, Ethan Blaser +41
Due to the efforts by numerous ground-based surveys and NASA's Kepler and TESS, there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of transiting exoplanets ideal for atmospheric characteriz…
Autonomous Detection of Particles and Tracks in Optical Images
Andrew J. Liounis, Jeffrey L. Small, Jason C. Swenson +12
During its initial orbital phase in early 2019, the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) asteroid sample return mi…
Observational Investigation of the 2013 Near-Earth Encounter by Asteroid (367943) Duende
Nicholas Moskovitz, Conor Benson, Daniel Scheeres +20
On 15 February 2013, the asteroid 367943 Duende (2012 DA14) experienced a near-Earth encounter at an altitude of 27,700 km or 4.2 Earth radii. We present here the results of an ext…
The digest2 NEO Classification Code
Sonia Keys, Peter Vereš, Matthew J. Payne +6
We describe the digest2 software package, a fast, short-arc orbit classifier for small Solar System bodies. The digest2 algorithm has been serving the community for more than 13 ye…
Detection of Rotational Acceleration of Bennu using HST Lightcurve Observations
Michael C. Nolan, Ellen S. Howell, Daniel J. Scheeres +7
We observed the near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu from the ground in 1999 and 2005, and with the Hubble Space Telescope in 2012, to constrain its rotation rate. The data reveal an…
