Phase Curves of Kuiper Belt Objects, Centaurs, and Jupiter Family Comets from the ATLAS Survey
Matthew M. Dobson, Megan E. Schwamb, Susan D. Benecchi +9
The Kuiper belt objects, the Centaurs, and the Jupiter-family comets form an evolutionary continuum of small outer Solar System objects, and their study allows us to gain insight i…
Preatmospheric detection of a meter-sized Earth impactor
David L. Clark, Paul A. Wiegert, Peter G. Brown +3
On 2020 September 18 US Government sensors detected a bolide with peak bolometric magnitude of -19 over the western Pacific. The impact was also detected by the Geostationary Light…
Discovery of Super-Slow Rotating Asteroids with ATLAS and ZTF photometry
N. Erasmus, D. Kramer, A. McNeill +7
We present here the discovery of a new class of super-slow rotating asteroids (P>1000 hours) in data extracted from the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) and Zw…
The impact and recovery of asteroid 2018 LA
Peter Jenniskens, Mohutsiwa Gabadirwe, Qing-Zhu Yin +63
The June 2, 2018, impact of asteroid 2018 LA over Botswana is only the second asteroid detected in space prior to impacting over land. Here, we report on the successful recovery of…
Comparison of the physical properties of the L4 and L5 Trojan asteroids from ATLAS data
A. McNeill, N. Erasmus, D. E. Trilling +7
Jupiter has nearly 8000~known co-orbital asteroids orbiting in the L4 and L5 Lagrange points called Jupiter Trojan asteroids. Aside from the greater number density of the L4 cloud…
NEO Population, Velocity Bias, and Impact Risk from an ATLAS Analysis
A. N. Heinze, Larry Denneau, John L. Tonry +9
We estimate the total population of near-Earth objects (NEOs) in the Solar System, using an extensive, `Solar System to pixels' fake-asteroid simulation to debias detections of rea…
