Physical properties of ESA Rosetta target asteroid (21) Lutetia: Shape and flyby geometry
B. Carry, M. Kaasalainen, C. Leyrat +22
Aims. We determine the physical properties (spin state and shape) of asteroid (21) Lutetia, target of the ESA Rosetta mission, to help in preparing for observations during the flyb…
"TNOs are cool": A survey of the trans-neptunian region. II. The thermal lightcurve of (136108) Haumea
E. Lellouch, C. Kiss, P. Santos-Sanz +33
Thermal emission from Kuiper Belt object (136108) Haumea was measured with Herschel-PACS at 100 and 160 micrometers for almost a full rotation period. Observations clearly indicate…
A Peculiar Family of Jupiter Trojans: the Eurybates
F. De Luise, E. Dotto, S. Fornasier +4
The Eurybates family is a compact core inside the Menelaus clan, located in the L4 swarm of Jupiter Trojans. Fornasier et al. (2007) found that this family exhibits a peculiar abun…
Inhomogeneities on the surface of 21 Lutetia, the asteroid target of the Rosetta mission
D. Perna, E. Dotto, M. Lazzarin +6
CONTEXT: In July 2010 the ESA spacecraft Rosetta will fly-by the main belt asteroid 21 Lutetia. Several observations of this asteroid have been so far performed, but its surface co…
Puzzling asteroid 21 Lutetia: our knowledge prior to the Rosetta fly-by
I. N. Belskaya, S. Fornasier, Yu. N. Krugly +5
A wide observational campaign was carried out in 2004-2009 aimed to complete the ground-based investigation of Lutetia prior to the Rosetta fly-by in July 2010. We have obtained BV…
