Rotation, spectral type, and albedo of the potentially hazardous asteroid (153814) 2001 WN Prior to the 2028 June close approach
Jin Beniyama, Alexey V. Sergeyev, Konstantinos Odysseas Xenos +6
The potentially hazardous asteroid (153814) 2001 WN will pass inside the lunar distance on June 26, 2028, offering a rare opportunity to characterize a kilometer-scale near-Ear…
Refined rotational state and shape model of (98943) Torifune ahead of the Hayabusa2# flyby
P. Fatka, P. Pravec, P. Scheirich +4
The Hayabusa2# mission will perform a high-speed flyby of near-Earth asteroid (98943) Torifune on 5 July 2026, offering a rare opportunity to compare a pre-encounter spin and shape…
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…
Shape and spin state model of contact binary (388188) 2006 DP14 using combined radar and optical observations
Richard E. Cannon, Agata Rozek, Marina BrozoviÄ +36
Contact binaries are found throughout the solar system. The recent discovery of Selam, the satellite of MBA (152830) Dinkinesh, by the NASA LUCY mission has made it clear that the…
