Photometry and Polarimetry of 2010 XC: Observational Confirmation of E-type Near-Earth Asteroid Pair
Jin Beniyama, Shigeyuki Sako, Katsuhito Ohtsuka +16
Asteroid systems such as binaries and pairs are indicative of physical properties and dynamical histories of the Small Solar System Bodies. Although numerous observational and theo…
Spectral Type and Geometric Albedo of (98943) 2001 CC21, the Hayabusa2# Mission Target
Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro, Mikael Granvik +18
We conducted optical polarimetry and near-infrared spectroscopy of JAXA's Hayabusa2# mission target, (98943) 2001 CC21, in early 2023. Our new observations indicated that this aste…
Spectral evolution of dark asteroid surfaces induced by space weathering over a decade
Sunao Hasegawa, Francesca E. DeMeo, Michael Marsset +20
The surface of airless bodies like asteroids in the Solar System are known to be affected by space weathering. Experiments simulating space weathering are essential for studying th…
Discovery of two TNO-like bodies in the asteroid belt
Sunao Hasegawa, Michael Marsset, Francesca E. DeMeo +6
Two extremely red main-belt asteroids: 203 Pompeja and 269 Justitia, were identified from combined visible and near-infrared spectroscopic observations collected at the IRTF and SA…
Implications of High Polarization Degree for the Surface State of Ryugu
Daisuke Kuroda, Jooyeon Geem, Hiroshi Akitaya +19
The asteroid exploration project "Hayabusa2" has successfully returned samples from the asteroid (162173) Ryugu. In this study, we measured the linear polarization degrees of Ryugu…
Nature of bright C-complex asteroids
Sunao Hasegawa, Toshihiro Kasuga, Fumihiko Usui +1
Most C-complex asteroids have albedo values less than 0.1, but there are some high-albedo (bright) C-complex asteroids with albedo values exceeding 0.1. To reveal the nature and or…
