Opposition effect of comet 28P/Neujmin observed with Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam

Takafumi Ootsubo, Hideyo Kawakita, Tadafumi Takata +8

We present an observational study of the nucleus of comet 28P/Neujmin at a heliocentric distance exceeding 10 au, where coma contamination is effectively minimized. Observations we…

Asteroid sizes determined with thermophysical model and stellar occultations

A. Choukroun, A. Marciniak, J. Ďurech +165

Context. The sizes of many asteroids, especially slowly rotating, low-amplitude targets, remain poorly constrained due to selection effects. These biases limit the availability of…
