Photometry of the Didymos system across the DART impact apparition
Nicholas Moskovitz, Cristina Thomas, Petr Pravec +78
On 26 September 2022, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the satellite of binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didymos. This demonstrated the…
FOSSIL: I. The Spin Rate Limit of Jupiter Trojans
Chan-Kao Chang, Ying-Tung Chen, Wesley C. Fraser +25
Rotation periods of 53 small (diameters km) Jupiter Trojans (JTs) were derived using the high-cadence light curves obtained by the FOSSIL phase I survey, a Subaru/Hype…
Spin Change of Asteroid 2012 TC4 probably by Radiation Torques
Hee-Jae Lee, Josef Ďurech, David Vokrouhlický +9
Asteroid 2012 TC4 is a small (10 m) near-Earth object that was observed during its Earth close approaches in 2012 and 2017. Earlier analyses of light curves revealed its exci…
The case for a multi-channel polarization sensitive LIDAR for investigation of insolation-driven ices and atmospheres
Adrian J. Brown, Gorden Videen, Evgenij Zubko +20
All LIDAR instruments are not the same, and advancement of LIDAR technology requires an ongoing interest and demand from the community to foster further development of the required…
The Geometric Albedo of (4179) Toutatis Estimated from KMTNet DEEP-South Observations
Yoonsoo P. Bach, Masateru Ishiguro, Sunho Jin +6
We derive the geometric albedo of a near-Earth asteroid, (4179) Toutatis, to investigate its surface physical conditions. The asteroid has been studied rigorously not only via grou…
Investigation of surface homogeneity of (3200) Phaethon
Hee-Jae Lee, Myung-Jin Kim, Dong-Heun Kim +7
Time-series multi-band photometry and spectrometry were performed in Nov.-Dec. 2017 to investigate the homogeneity of the surface of asteroid (3200) Phaethon. We found that Phaetho…
Physical properties of near-Earth asteroids with a low delta-: Survey of target candidates for the Hayabusa2 mission
Sunao Hasegawa, Daisuke Kuroda, Kohei Kitazato +40
Sample return from the near-Earth asteroid known as 25143 Itokawa was conducted as part of the Hayabusa mission, with a large number of scientific findings being derived from the r…
New Photometric Pipeline to Explore Temporal and Spatial Variability with KMTNet DEEP-South Observations
Seo-Won Chang, Yong-Ik Byun, Min-Su Shin +6
The DEEP-South photometric census of small Solar System bodies produces massive time-series data of variable, transient or moving objects as a by-product. To fully investigate unex…
Optical observations of NEA 3200 Phaethon (1983 TB) during the 2017 apparition
Myung-Jin Kim, Hee-Jae Lee, Sang-Min Lee +24
The near-Earth asteroid 3200 Phaethon (1983 TB) is an attractive object not only from a scientific viewpoint but also because of JAXA's DESTINY+ target. The rotational lightcurve a…
Hayabusa-2 Mission Target Asteroid 162173 Ryugu (1999 JU3): Searching for the Object's Spin-Axis Orientation
T. G. Müller, J. Ďurech, M. Ishiguro +27
The JAXA Hayabusa-2 mission was approved in 2010 and launched on December 3, 2014. The spacecraft will arrive at the near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu in 2018 where it will perform…
Monitoring Observations of the Jupiter-Family Comet 17P/Holmes during 2014 Perihelion Passage
Yuna Grace Kwon, Masateru Ishiguro, Hidekazu Hanayama +15
We performed a monitoring observation of a Jupiter-Family comet, 17P/Holmes, during its 2014 perihelion passage to investigate its secular change in activity. The comet has drawn t…
Optical Properties of (162173) 1999 JU3: In Preparation for the JAXA Hayabusa 2 Sample Return Mission
Masateru Ishiguro, Daisuke Kuroda, Sunao Hasegawa +31
We investigated the magnitude-phase relation of (162173) 1999 JU3, a target asteroid for the JAXA Hayabusa 2 sample return mission. We initially employed the international Astronom…
