Mining archival data from wide-field astronomical surveys in search of near-Earth objects
Teymoor Saifollahi, Gijs Verdoes Kleijn, Rees Williams +5
Increasing our knowledge of the orbits and compositions of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) is important for a better understanding of the evolution of the Solar System and of life. The d…
Observational Characterization of Main-Belt Comet and Candidate Main-Belt Comet Nuclei
Henry H. Hsieh, Marco Micheli, Michael S. P. Kelley +9
We report observations of nine MBCs or candidate MBCs, most of which were obtained when the targets were apparently inactive. We find effective nucleus radii (assuming albedos of p…
Asteroids seen by JWST-MIRI: Radiometric Size, Distance and Orbit Constraints
T. G. Müller, M. Micheli, T. Santana-Ros +3
Infrared measurements of asteroids are crucial for the determination of physical and thermal properties of individual objects, and for the understanding of the small-body populatio…
TNO or Comet? The Search for Activity and Characterization of Distant Object 418993 (2009 MS9)
Erica Bufanda, Karen J. Meech, Jan T. Kleyna +10
2009 MS9 is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) whose perihelion brings it close to the distance where some long period comets are seen to become active. Knowing this, and the fact that…
A Deep and Wide Twilight Survey for Asteroids Interior to Earth and Venus
Scott S. Sheppard, David Tholen, Petr Pokorny +17
We are conducting a survey using twilight time on the Dark Energy Camera with the Blanco 4m telescope in Chile to look for objects interior to Earth's and Venus' orbits. To date we…
Extremely young asteroid pair (458271) 2010 UM26 and 2010 RN221
D. Vokrouhlický, P. Fatka. M. Micheli, P. Pravec +1
Extremely similar heliocentric orbital elements of the main-belt objects (458271) 2010 UM26 and 2010 RN221 make them the tightest known pair and promise its very young age. We anal…
