Dynamical evolution and surface accretion of DART impact ejecta in the (65803) Didymos system
Xiaoyu Fu, Nicolo Stronati, Stefania Soldini +6
The DART spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the small moonlet of Didymos binary system, on 26 September 2022. The impact ejected dust, fragments, and boulders into the near-binary envi…
Characterization of the ejecta from NASA/DART impact on Dimorphos: observations and Monte Carlo models
Fernando Moreno, Adriano Campo Bagatin, Gonzalo Tancredi +26
The NASA/DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft successfully crashed on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system. Following the impact, a…
Ejecta from the DART-produced active asteroid Dimorphos
Jian-Yang Li, Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Tony L. Farnham +61
Some active asteroids have been proposed to be the result of impact events. Because active asteroids are generally discovered serendipitously only after their tail formation, the p…
Predictions for the Dynamical States of the Didymos System before and after the Planned DART Impact
Derek C. Richardson, Harrison F. Agrusa, Brent Barbee +33
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is planned to impact the natural satellite of (65803) Didymos, Dimorphos, around 23:14 UTC on 26 September 2022, causing a…
Ground-based observability of Dimorphos DART impact ejecta: Photometric predictions
Fernando Moreno, Adriano Campo Bagatin, Gonzalo Tancredi +2
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is a NASA mission intended to crash a projectile on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system, to study it…
Phase Curves of Small Bodies from the SLOAN Moving Objects Catalog
A. Alvarez-Candal, P. G. Benavidez, A. Campo Bagatin +1
Extensive photometric surveys are and will continue producing massive amounts of data on small bodies. Usually, these data will be sparsely obtained at arbitrary (and unknown)rotat…
The size, shape, density and ring of the dwarf planet Haumea from a stellar occultation
J. L. Ortiz, P. Santos-Sanz, B. Sicardy +90
Among the four known transneptunian dwarf planets, Haumea is an exotic, very elongated, and fast rotating body. In contrast to the other dwarf planets, its size, shape, albedo, and…
The large Trans-Neptunian Object 2002 TC from combined stellar occultation, photometry and astrometry data
J. L. Ortiz, P. Santos-Sanz, B. Sicardy +78
On 28th January 2018, the large Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) 2002TC302 occulted a m15.3 star with ID 130957813463146112 in the Gaia DR2 stellar catalog. 12 positive occultati…
GAUSS -- A Sample Return Mission to Ceres
Xian Shi, Julie Castillo-Rogez, Henry Hsieh +26
The goal of Project GAUSS is to return samples from the dwarf planet Ceres. Ceres is the most accessible ocean world candidate and the largest reservoir of water in the inner solar…
Small Solar System Bodies as granular media
D. Hestroffer, P. Sánchez, L. Staron +12
Asteroids and other Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs) are of high general and scientific interest in many aspects. The origin, formation, and evolution of our Solar System (and oth…
Possible ring material around centaur (2060) Chiron
J. L. Ortiz, R. Duffard, N. Pinilla-Alonso +7
We propose that several short duration events observed in past stellar occultations by Chiron were produced by rings material. From a reanalysis of the stellar occultation data in…
Short-term variability of 10 trans-Neptunian objects
A. Thirouin, J. L. Ortiz, A. Campo Bagatin +4
We present our latest results about the short-term variability of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). We performed broad-band CCD photometric observations using several telescopes in S…
Rotational fission of Trans-Neptunian Objects. The case of Haumea
J. L. Ortiz, A. Thirouin, A. Campo Bagatin +6
We present several lines of evidence based on different kinds of observations to conclude that rotational fission has likely occurred for a fraction of the known Trans-Neptunian Ob…
The Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey - Full Data Release: The orbital structure of the Kuiper belt
Jean-Marc Petit, J. John Kavelaars, Brett J. Gladman +14
We report the orbital distribution of the trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) discovered during the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey, whose discovery phase ran from early 2003 until…
The CFEPS Kuiper Belt Survey: Strategy and Pre-survey Results
R. L. Allen, B. Gladman, J-M Petit +13
We present the data acquisition strategy and characterization procedures for the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS), a sub-component of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope…
GRB 021004 modelled by multiple energy injections
A. de Ugarte Postigo, A. J. Castro-Tirado, J. Gorosabel +43
GRB 021004 is one of the best sampled gamma-ray bursts (GRB) to date, although the nature of its light curve is still being debated. Here we present a large amount (107) of new opt…
Multifractal fits to the observed main belt asteroid distribution
Adriano Campo Bagatin, Vicent J. Martinez, Silvestre Paredes
Dohnanyi's (1969) theory predicts that a collisional system such as the asteroidal population of the main belt should rapidly relax to a power-law stationary size distribution of t…
