The astorb database at Lowell Observatory
Nicholas A. Moskovitz, Lawrence Wasserman, Brian Burt +4
The astorb database at Lowell Observatory is an actively curated catalog of all known asteroids in the Solar System. astorb has heritage dating back to the 1970's and has been publ…
Isolating the mechanisms for asteroid surface refreshing
F. E. DeMeo, M. Marsset, D. Polishook +10
Evidence is seen for young, fresh surfaces among Near-Earth and Main-Belt asteroids even though space-weathering timescales are shorter than the age of the surfaces. A number of me…
(3200) Phaethon Polarimetry in the Negative Branch: New Evidence for the Anhydrous Nature of the DESTINY+ Target Asteroid
Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro, Jun Takahashi +23
We report on the first polarimetric study of (3200) Phaethon, the target of JAXA's DESTINY mission, in the negative branch to ensure its anhydrous nature and to derive an accur…
The discovery and characterization of a kilometre sized asteroid inside the orbit of Venus
Bryce T. Bolin, T. Ahumada, P. van Dokkum +8
Near-Earth asteroid population models predict the existence of bodies located inside the orbit of Venus. Despite searches up to the end of 2019, none had been found. We report disc…
Physical Characterization of 2015 JD1: A Possibly Inhomogeneous Near-Earth Asteroid
Andy J. López-Oquendo, David E. Trilling, Annika Gustafsson +7
The surfaces of airless bodies such as asteroids are exposed to many phenomena that can alter their physical properties. Bennu, the target of the OSIRIS-REx mission, has demonstrat…
Thermal decomposition as an activity driver of near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon
Eric MacLennan, Mikael Granvik
Near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon is an active asteroid with a dust tail repeatedly observed over the past decade for 3 days during each perihelion passage down to a heliocentric…
