(523599) 2003 RM: The asteroid that wanted to be a comet
Davide Farnocchia, Darryl Z. Seligman, Mikael Granvik +11
We report a statistically significant detection of nongravitational acceleration on the sub-kilometer near-Earth asteroid (523599) 2003 RM. Due to its orbit, 2003 RM experiences fa…

Peter Jenniskens, Mohutsiwa Gabadirwe, Qing-Zhu Yin +63
The June 2, 2018, impact of asteroid 2018 LA over Botswana is only the second asteroid detected in space prior to impacting over land. Here, we report on the successful recovery of…
Establishing Earth's Minimoon Population through Characterization of Asteroid 2020 CD
Grigori Fedorets, Marco Micheli, Robert Jedicke +20
We report on our detailed characterization of Earth's second known temporary natural satellite, or minimoon, asteroid 2020 CD3. An artificial origin can be ruled out based on its a…
Visible spectroscopy from the Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS): Taxonomic dependence on asteroid size
Maxime Devogele, Nicholas Moskovitz, Audrey Thirouin +14
The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS) aims to observe and characterize small (mean absolute magnitude H ~ 25 mag) Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that are accessible by…
A common origin for dynamically associated near-Earth asteroid pairs
Nicholas Moskovitz, Petr Fatka, Davide Farnocchia +19
Though pairs of dynamically associated asteroids in the Main Belt have been identified and studied for over a decade, very few pair systems have been identified in the near-Earth a…
A near-Sun Solar System Twilight Survey with LSST
Rob Seaman, Paul Abell, Eric Christensen +9
We propose a LSST Solar System near-Sun Survey, to be implemented during twilight hours, that extends the seasonal reach of LSST to its maximum as fresh sky is uncovered at about 5…
