Physical modelling of near-Earth asteroid (23187) 2000 PN9 with ground-based optical and radar observations
L. Dover, S. C. Lowry, A. Rożek +19
We present a physical model and spin-state analysis of the potentially hazardous asteroid (23187) 2000 PN9. As part of a long-term campaign to make direct detections of the YORP ef…
The Effect of Aspect Changes on Near-Earth Asteroid Phase Curves
Samuel L. Jackson, Benjamin Rozitis, Lord R. Dover +4
Phase curves of asteroids are typically considered to depend solely on the scattering properties of airless particulate surfaces and the size of the object being studied. In this s…
Detection of the YORP Effect on the contact-binary (68346) 2001 KZ66 from combined radar and optical observations
Tarik J. Zegmott, S. C. Lowry, A. Rożek +7
The YORP effect is a small thermal-radiation torque experienced by small asteroids, and is considered to be crucial in their physical and dynamical evolution. It is important to un…
Spectroscopy and thermal modelling of the first interstellar object 1I/2017 U1 'Oumuamua
Alan Fitzsimmons, Colin Snodgrass, Ben Rozitis +7
During the formation and evolution of the Solar System, significant numbers of cometary and asteroidal bodies were ejected into interstellar space. It can be reasonably exp…
Directional Characteristics of Thermal-Infrared Beaming from Atmosphereless Planetary Surfaces - A New Thermophysical Model
Ben Rozitis, Simon F. Green
We present a new rough-surface thermophysical model (Advanced Thermophysical Model or ATPM) that describes the observed directional thermal emission from any atmosphereless planeta…
Physical characterisation of low delta-V asteroid (175706) 1996 FG3
Stephen D. Wolters, Ben Rozitis, Samuel R. Duddy +5
Asteroid (175706) 1996 FG3 is a binary asteroid and the baseline target for the proposed MarcoPolo-R sample-return mission. We present thermal IR photometry obtained with the ESO V…
