Kilometre-scale Jovian moon characterized for a potential JUICE flyby

Juan Luis Rizos, Jose Maria Gomez-Limon, Yucel Kilic +51

Jupiter's irregular satellites are thought to be relics of early Solar System planetesimals. However, their small sizes, large distances from Earth and close angular proximity to J…

Asteroid sizes determined with thermophysical model and stellar occultations

A. Choukroun, A. Marciniak, J. Ďurech +165

Context. The sizes of many asteroids, especially slowly rotating, low-amplitude targets, remain poorly constrained due to selection effects. These biases limit the availability of…

Scaling slowly rotating asteroids by stellar occultations

A. Marciniak, J. Ďurech, A. Choukroun +176

As evidenced by recent survey results, majority of asteroids are slow rotators (P>12 h), but lack spin and shape models due to selection bias. This bias is skewing our overall unde…

Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations

J. Marques Oliveira, B. Sicardy, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +234

A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October 2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 of…

Stellar occultations enable milliarcsecond astrometry for Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs

F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. Desmars +66

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs are remnants of our planetary system formation, and their physical properties have invaluable information for evolutionary theories. Ste…

The large Trans-Neptunian Object 2002 TC from combined stellar occultation, photometry and astrometry data

J. L. Ortiz, P. Santos-Sanz, B. Sicardy +78

On 28th January 2018, the large Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) 2002TC302 occulted a m15.3 star with ID 130957813463146112 in the Gaia DR2 stellar catalog. 12 positive occultati…

Study of the plutino object (208996) 2003 AZ84 from stellar occultations: size, shape and topographic features

A. Dias-Oliveira, B. Sicardy, J. L. Ortiz +60

We present results derived from four stellar occultations by the plutino object (208996) 2003~AZ, detected at January 8, 2011 (single-chord event), February 3, 2012 (multi-c…

New and updated convex shape models of asteroids based on optical data from a large collaboration network

J. Hanuš, J. Ďurech, D. A. Oszkiewicz +165

Asteroid modeling efforts in the last decade resulted in a comprehensive dataset of almost 400 convex shape models and their rotation states. This amount already provided a deep in…

Asteroids' physical models from combined dense and sparse photometry and scaling of the YORP effect by the observed obliquity distribution

J. Hanuš, J. Ďurech, M. Brož +116

The larger number of models of asteroid shapes and their rotational states derived by the lightcurve inversion give us better insight into both the nature of individual objects and…

New insights on the binary asteroid 121 Hermione

P. Descamps, F. Marchis, J. Durech +29

We report on the results of a six-month photometric study of the main-belt binary C-type asteroid 121 Hermione, performed during its 2007 opposition. We took advantage of the rare…
