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:…
Main Belt Binary Asteroidal Systems With Circular Mutual Orbits
F. Marchis, P. Descamps, M. Baek +5
In 2003, we initiated a long-term adaptive optics campaign to study the orbit of various main-belt asteroidal systems. Here we present a consistent solution for the mutual orbits o…
Near-Infrared Mapping and Physical Properties of the Dwarf-Planet Ceres
Benoit Carry, Christophe Dumas, Marcello Fulchignoni +5
We study the physical characteristics (shape, dimensions, spin axis direction, albedo maps, mineralogy) of the dwarf-planet Ceres based on high-angular resolution near-infrared obs…
Origin of volatiles in the Main Belt
Olivier Mousis, Yann Alibert, Daniel Hestroffer +5
We propose a scenario for the formation of the Main Belt in which asteroids incorporated icy particles formed in the outer Solar Nebula. We calculate the composition of icy planete…
