Physical Characterization of Asteroid (16583) Oersted Combining Stellar Occultation and Photometric Data
Josef Hanuš, Marco Delbo, Petr Pokorný +2
We report a successful observation of a stellar occultation by asteroid (16583) Oersted, enabling a detailed physical characterization of its shape, spin state, and surface propert…
Catastrophic disruption of asteroid 2023 CX1 and implications for planetary defense
Auriane Egal, Denis Vida, François Colas +94
Mitigation of the threat from airbursting asteroids requires an understanding of the potential risk they pose for the ground. How asteroids release their kinetic energy in the atmo…
Satellite formation around the largest asteroids
Kevin J. Walsh, Ronald-Louis Ballouz, Harrison F. Agrusa +3
Satellites around large asteroids are preferentially found among those with the most rapid rotation and elongated shape. The taxonomic statistics are similarly skewed; in total, 13…
The discovery and characterization of Earth-crossing asteroid 2024 YR
Bryce T. Bolin, Josef Hanuš, Larry Denneau +9
We describe observations and physical characteristics of Earth-crossing asteroid 2024 YR, discovered on 2024 December 27 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System. T…
Confined tumbling state as the origin of the excess of slowly rotating asteroids
Wen-Han Zhou, Patrick Michel, Marco Delbo +4
The rotational distribution of asteroids as a function of their size is used {as a diagnostic of} their physical properties and evolution. Recent photometric surveys from the Gaia…
