Radiation pressure detection and density estimate for 2011 MD
Marco Micheli, David J. Tholen, Garrett T. Elliott
We present our astrometric observations of the small near-Earth object 2011~MD (), obtained after its very close fly-by to Earth in June 2011. Our set of observations…
Main-Belt Comet P/2012 T1 (PANSTARRS)
Henry H. Hsieh, Heather M. Kaluna, Bojan Novakovic +25
We present initial results from observations and numerical analyses aimed at characterizing main-belt comet P/2012 T1 (PANSTARRS). Optical monitoring observations were made between…
Yarkovsky-driven impact risk analysis for asteroid (99942) Apophis
D. Farnocchia, S. R. Chesley, P. W. Chodas +5
We assess the risk of an Earth impact for asteroid (99942) Apophis by means of a statistical analysis accounting for the uncertainty of both the orbital solution and the Yarkovsky…
Detection of radiation pressure acting on 2009 BD
Marco Micheli, David J. Tholen, Garrett T. Elliott
We report the direct detection of radiation pressure on the asteroid 2009 BD, one of the smallest multi-opposition near-Earth objects currently known, with H ~ 28.4. Under the pure…
Preliminary Results from NEOWISE: An Enhancement to the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer for Solar System Science
A. Mainzer, J. Bauer, T. Grav +32
The \emph{Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer} has surveyed the entire sky at four infrared wavelengths with greatly improved sensitivity and spatial resolution compared to its pre…
Masses of Nix and Hydra
David J. Tholen, Marc W. Buie, William M. Grundy +1
A four-body orbit solution for the Pluto system yields GM values of 870.3 +/- 3.7, 101.4 +/- 2.8, 0.039 +/- 0.034, and 0.021 +/- 0.042 km3 sec-2 for Pluto, Charon, Nix, and Hydra,…
