A dynamical dichotomy in large binary asteroids
K. Minker, B. Carry, F. Vachier +20
No less than 15% of large (diameter greater than 140 km) asteroids have satellites. The commonly accepted mechanism for their formation is post-impact reaccumulation. However, the…
Orbits of very distant asteroid satellites
K. Minker, B. Carry, F. Vachier +36
The very wide binary asteroid (VWBA) population is a small subset of the population of known binary and multiple asteroids made of systems with very widely orbiting satellites and…
The Resolved Asteroid Program - Size, shape, and pole of (52) Europa
W. J. Merline, J. D. Drummond, B. Carry +14
With the adaptive optics (AO) system on the 10 m Keck-II telescope, we acquired a high quality set of 84 images at 14 epochs of asteroid (52) Europa on 2005 January 20. The epochs…
Shape modeling technique KOALA validated by ESA Rosetta at (21) Lutetia
B. Carry, M. Kaasalainen, W. J. Merline +12
We present a comparison of our results from ground-based observations of asteroid (21) Lutetia with imaging data acquired during the flyby of the asteroid by the ESA Rosetta missio…
The remarkable surface homogeneity of the Dawn mission target (1) Ceres
Benoit Carry, Pierre Vernazza, Christophe Dumas +7
Dwarf-planet (1) Ceres is one of the two targets, along with (4) Vesta, that will be studied by the NASA Dawn spacecraft via imaging, visible and near-infrared spectroscopy, and ga…
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…
