Kilometre-scale Jovian moon characterized for a potential JUICE flyby

Juan Luis Rizos, Jose Maria Gomez-Limon, Yucel Kilic +51

Jupiter's irregular satellites are thought to be relics of early Solar System planetesimals. However, their small sizes, large distances from Earth and close angular proximity to J…

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…

Scaling slowly rotating asteroids by stellar occultations

A. Marciniak, J. Ďurech, A. Choukroun +176

As evidenced by recent survey results, majority of asteroids are slow rotators (P>12 h), but lack spin and shape models due to selection bias. This bias is skewing our overall unde…

Spin vectors in the Koronis family: IV. Completing the sample of its largest members after 35 years of study

Stephen M. Slivan, Matthew Hosek, Max Kurzner +17

An observational study of Koronis family members' spin properties was undertaken with two primary objectives: to reduce selection biases for object rotation period and lightcurve a…

Asteroid spin-states of a 4 Gyr collisional family

D. Athanasopoulos, J. Hanus, C. Avdellidou +29

Families of asteroids generated by the collisional fragmentation of a common parent body have been identified using clustering methods of asteroids in their proper orbital element…

Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations

J. Marques Oliveira, B. Sicardy, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +234

A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October 2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 of…
