Improved models for near-Earth asteroids (2100) Ra-Shalom, (3103) Eger, (12711) Tukmit & (161989) Cacus
Javier Rodríguez Rodríguez, Enrique Díez Alonso, Santiago Iglesias Álvarez +7
We present 24 new dense lightcurves of the near-Earth asteroids (3103) Eger, (161989) Cacus, (2100) Ra-Shalom and (12711) Tukmit, obtained with the Instituto Astrofísico Canarias 8…
A large topographic feature on the surface of the trans-Neptunian object (307261) 2002 MS measured from stellar occultations
F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. L. Ortiz +201
This work aims at constraining the size, shape, and geometric albedo of the dwarf planet candidate 2002 MS4 through the analysis of nine stellar occultation events. Using multichor…
ATLAS-TEIDE: The next generations of ATLAS units for the Teide Observatory
Javier Licandro, John Tonry, Miguel R. Alarcon +2
In this work we present the design of the ATLAS unit (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) that will be installed at Teide Observatory in Tenerife island (Spain). ATLAS-T…
Orphan optical flare as SOSS emission afterglow, localization in time
V. Lipunov, V. Kornilov, K. Zhirkov +24
We report on MASTER optical observations of an afterglow-like optical and X-ray transient AT2021lfa/ZTF21aayokph. We detected the initial steady brightening of the transient at 7σ…
Scientific CMOS sensors in Astronomy: IMX455 and IMX411
Miguel R. Alarcon, Javier Licandro, Miquel Serra-Ricart +3
Scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) detectors have developed quickly in recent years thanks to their low cost and high availability. They also have some advan…
Mini-moons from horseshoes: A physical characterization of 2022 NX1 with OSIRIS at the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias
R. de la Fuente Marcos, J. de Leon, C. de la Fuente Marcos +3
Context. The near-Earth orbital space is shared by natural objects and space debris that can be temporarily captured in geocentric orbits. Short-term natural satellites are often c…
