Thermophysical characterization of the potentially hazardous near-Earth object 2024 YR4
T. G. Müller, E. M. MacLennan, A. Y. Burdanov +7
The asteroid 2024 YR4 is a potentially hazardous Apollo-type near-Earth object. Its highly eccentric orbit produces close Earth-Moon encounters roughly every 4 years. A collection…
The spin state of asteroid Apophis and a prediction of its change during the 2029 close encounter with Earth
J. Durech, D. Vokrouhlicky, P. Pravec +23
On April 13, 2029, the asteroid Apophis will pass near Earth at a geocentric distance of about 38,000 km. Numerical models have suggested that the post-encounter spin state will cr…
The dependence of the asteroid rotation on their composition
T. J. Dyer, W. -H. Zhou, C. Avdellidou +4
The rotational properties of asteroids provide critical information about not only their internal structure but also their collisional and thermal histories. Previous work has reve…
Polarimetry and albedo of the Near-Earth Asteroid 2025 FA22
J. -P. Rivet, S. Bagnulo, P. Bendjoya +17
We report spectropolarimetric and broadband polarimetric observations of the near-Earth asteroid 2025 FA22 during its close approach of 18 September 2025 (about two Moon distances)…
Orbits of very distant asteroid satellites
K. Minker, B. Carry, F. Vachier +36
The very wide binary asteroid (VWBA) population is a small subset of the population of known binary and multiple asteroids made of systems with very widely orbiting satellites and…
The Dynamical State of the Didymos System Before and After the DART Impact
Derek C. Richardson, Harrison F. Agrusa, Brent Barbee +50
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the natural satellite of (65803) Didymos, on 2022 September 26, as a first successful test of kinetic…
HD 110067 c has an aligned orbit
J. Zak, H. M. J. Boffin, E. Sedaghati +25
Planetary systems in mean motion resonances hold a special place among the planetary population. They allow us to study planet formation in great detail as dissipative processes ar…
Secular change in the spin states of asteroids due to radiation and gravitation torques. New detections and updates of the YORP effect
J. Ďurech, D. Vokrouhlický, P. Pravec +21
The rotation state of small asteroids is affected in the long term by perturbing torques of gravitational and radiative origin (the YORP effect). Direct observational evidence of t…
Compositional properties of planet-crossing asteroids from astronomical surveys
A. V. Sergeyev, B. Carry, M. Marsset +8
Context. The study of planet-crossing asteroids is of both practical and fundamental importance. As they are closer than asteroids in the Main Belt, we have access to a smaller siz…
Extremely young asteroid pair (458271) 2010 UM26 and 2010 RN221
D. Vokrouhlický, P. Fatka. M. Micheli, P. Pravec +1
Extremely similar heliocentric orbital elements of the main-belt objects (458271) 2010 UM26 and 2010 RN221 make them the tightest known pair and promise its very young age. We anal…
Rotation acceleration of asteroids (10115) 1992 SK, (1685) Toro, and (1620) Geographos due to the YORP effect
J. Durech, D. Vokrouhlicky, P. Pravec +28
The rotation state of small asteroids is affected by the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect, which is a net torque caused by solar radiation directly reflected and…
Stellar occultations enable milliarcsecond astrometry for Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs
F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. Desmars +66
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs are remnants of our planetary system formation, and their physical properties have invaluable information for evolutionary theories. Ste…
Once in a blue moon: detection of 'bluing' during debris transits in the white dwarf WD1145+017
N. Hallakoun, S. Xu, D. Maoz +16
The first transiting planetesimal orbiting a white dwarf was recently detected in K2 data of WD1145+017 and has been followed up intensively. The multiple, long, and variable trans…
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…
Thermal infrared observations of near-Earth asteroid 2002 NY40
T. G. Mueller, M. F. Sterzig, O. Schuetz +2
We obtained N-band observations of the Apollo asteroid 2002 NY40 during its close Earth fly-by in August 2002 with TIMMI2 at the ESO 3.6 m telescope. The photometric measurement al…
