TNOs are Cool: A Survey of the Transneptunian Region XI: A Herschel-PACS view of 16 Centaurs
R. Duffard, N. Pinilla-Alonso, P. Santos-Sanz +13
Centaurs are the transitional population between trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Jupiter-family comets. For this reason it is possible to access the smaller ones, which is more…
Additional spectra of asteroid 1996 FG3, backup target of the ESA MarcoPolo-R mission
J. de Leon, V. Lorenzi, V. Ali-Lagoa +3
Near-Earth binary asteroid (175706) 1996 FG3 is the current backup target of the ESA MarcoPolo-R mission, selected for the study phase of ESA M3 missions. It is a primitive (C-type…
Physical properties of B-type asteroids from WISE data
Víctor Alí-Lagoa, Julia de León, Javier Licandro +4
Aims: Our aim is to obtain more information about the physical nature of B-type asteroids and extend on the previous work by studying their physical properties derived from fitting…
Near-infrared spectroscopy of 1999 JU3, the target of the Hayabusa 2 mission
N. Pinilla-Alonso, V. Lorenzi, H. Campins +2
Context. Primitive asteroids contain complex organic material and ices relevant to the origin of life on Earth. These types of asteroids are the target of several-sample return mis…
Visible and near-infrared observations of asteroid 2012 DA14 during its closest approach of February 15, 2013
J. de Leon, J. L. Ortiz, N. Pinilla-Alonso +9
Near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14 made its closest approach on February 15, 2013, when it passed at a distance of 27,700 km from the Earth's surface. It was the first time an asteroid…
Surface composition and dynamical evolution of two retrograde objects in the outer solar system: 2008 YB3 and 2005 VD
N. Pinilla-Alonso, A. Alvarez-Candal, M. D. Melita +8
Most of the objects in the trans-Neptunian belt (TNb) and related populations move in prograde orbits with low eccentricity and inclination. However, the list of icy minor bodies m…
