The visible and thermal light curve of the large Kuiper belt object (50000) Quaoar
C. Kiss, T. G. Müller, G. Marton +7
Recent stellar occultations have allowed accurate instantaneous size and apparent shape determinations of the large Kuiper belt object (50000)~Quaoar and the detection of two rings…
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…
Thermal properties of large main-belt asteroids observed by Herschel PACS
V. Alí-Lagoa, T. G. Müller, C. Kiss +11
Non-resolved thermal infrared observations enable studies of thermal and physical properties of asteroid surfaces provided the shape and rotational properties of the target are wel…
Hayabusa-2 Mission Target Asteroid 162173 Ryugu (1999 JU3): Searching for the Object's Spin-Axis Orientation
T. G. Müller, J. Ďurech, M. Ishiguro +27
The JAXA Hayabusa-2 mission was approved in 2010 and launched on December 3, 2014. The spacecraft will arrive at the near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu in 2018 where it will perform…
Large Halloween Asteroid at Lunar Distance
T. G. Müller, A. Marciniak, M. Butkiewicz-Bąk +7
The near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 2015 TB145 had a very close encounter with Earth at 1.3 lunar distances on October 31, 2015. We obtained 3-band mid-infrared observations with the ESO…
Thermal Infrared Observations of Asteroid (99942) Apophis with Herschel
T. G. Müller, C. Kiss, P. Scheirich +4
The near-Earth asteroid (99942) Apophis is a potentially hazardous asteroid. We obtained far-infrared observations of this asteroid with the Herschel Space Observatory's PACS instr…
