The Distribution of Basaltic Asteroids in the Main Belt
Nicholas A. Moskovitz, Robert Jedicke, Eric Gaidos +4
We present the observational results of a survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as can…
Main Belt Binary Asteroidal Systems With Eccentric Mutual Orbits
F. Marchis, P. Descamps, J. Berthier +5
Using 8m-10m class telescopes and their Adaptive Optics (AO) systems, we conducted a long-term adaptive optics campaign initiated in 2003 focusing on four binary asteroid systems:…

F. Roig, D. Nesvorny, R. Gil-Hutton +1
The recent discovery of the first V-type asteroid in the middle belt, (21238) 1995WV7, located at ~2.54 AU, raises the question of whether it came from (4) Vesta or not. In this pa…
On the V-type asteroids outside the Vesta family. I. Interplay of nonlinear secular resonances and the Yarkovsky effect: the cases of 956 Elisa and 809 Lundia
Valerio Carruba, Tatiana Michtchenko, Fernando Roig +2
Among the largest objects in the main belt, asteroid 4 Vesta is unique in showing a basaltic crust. It is also the biggest member of the Vesta family, which is supposed to originat…
Chaos and the Effects of Planetary Migration on the Orbit of S/2000 S5 Kiviuq
V. Carruba, D. Nesvorny', J. A. Burns +2
Among the many new irregular satellites that have been discovered in the last five years, at least six are in the so-called Kozai resonance. Due to solar perturbations, the argumen…
