Unexpected D-type Interlopers in the Inner Main Belt
Francesca E. DeMeo, Richard P. Binzel, Benoit Carry +2
Very red featureless asteroids (spectroscopic D-types) are expected to have formed in the outer solar system far from the sun. They comprise the majority of asteroids in the Jupite…
Main-belt comets in the Palomar Transient Factory survey: I. The search for extendedness
Adam Waszczak, Eran O. Ofek, Oded Aharonson +7
Cometary activity in main-belt asteroids probes the ice content of these objects and provides clues to the history of volatiles in the inner solar system. We search the Palomar Tra…
Discovery of a Cosmological, Relativistic Outburst via its Rapidly Fading Optical Emission
S. Bradley Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni, Assaf Horesh +26
We report the discovery by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) of the transient source PTF11agg, which is distinguished by three primary characteristics: (1) bright, rapidly fading…
Asteroids' physical models from combined dense and sparse photometry and scaling of the YORP effect by the observed obliquity distribution
J. Hanuš, J. Ďurech, M. Brož +116
The larger number of models of asteroid shapes and their rotational states derived by the lightcurve inversion give us better insight into both the nature of individual objects and…
