A 2 km-size asteroid challenging the rubble-pile spin barrier - a case for cohesion
D. Polishook, N. Moskovitz, R. P. Binzel +11
The rubble pile spin barrier is an upper limit on the rotation rate of asteroids larger than ~200-300 m. Among thousands of asteroids with diameters larger than ~300 m, only a hand…
Concept and optical design of the cross-disperser module for CRIRES+
E. Oliva, A. Tozzi, D. Ferruzzi +31
CRIRES, the ESO high resolution infrared spectrometer, is a unique instrument which allows astronomers to access a parameter space which up to now was largely uncharted. In its cur…
Multiple and Fast: The Accretion of Ordinary Chondrite Parent Bodies
P. Vernazza, B. Zanda, R. P. Binzel +7
Although petrologic, chemical and isotopic studies of ordinary chondrites and meteorites in general have largely helped establish a chronology of the earliest events of planetesima…
Mars Encounters cause fresh surfaces on some near-Earth asteroids
Francesca E. DeMeo, Richard P. Binzel, Matthew Lockhart
All airless bodies are subject to the space environment, and spectral differences between asteroids and meteorites suggest many asteroids become weathered on very short (<1My) time…
Spectral and Spin Measurement of Two Small and Fast-Rotating Near-Earth Asteroids
D. Polishook, R. P. Binzel, M. Lockhart +4
In May 2012 two asteroids made near-miss "grazing" passes at distances of a few Earth-radii: 2012 KP24 passed at nine Earth-radii and 2012 KT42 at only three Earth-radii. The latte…
Ground-based multisite observations of two transits of HD 80606b
A. Shporer, J. N. Winn, S. Dreizler +41
We present ground-based optical observations of the September 2009 and January 2010 transits of HD 80606b. Based on 3 partial light curves of the September 2009 event, we derive a…
