JWST occultation reveals unforeseen complexity in Chariklo's ring system
Pablo Santos-Sanz, Altair R. Gomes-Júnior, Bruno E. Morgado +25
Ring systems have been discovered around several small bodies in the outer Solar System through stellar occultations. While such measurements provide key information about ring geo…
Three fast-spinning medium-sized Hilda asteroids uncovered by TESS
Nóra Takács, Csaba Kiss, Róbert Szakáts +8
Hilda asteroids, which orbit in a 3:2 resonance with Jupiter, serve as key indicators of dynamical processes in the early solar system. Their spin rates, an important probe of thes…
Short- and long-term variations of the high mass accretion rate classical T Tauri star DR Tau
Gabriella Zsidi, Ãgnes Kóspál, Péter Ãbrahám +20
Classical T Tauri stars are newly formed, low mass stars which may display both periodic and random variations in their brightness. The interaction between the star and its circums…
Solar System objects observed with TESS -- Early Data Release 2: I. Spin-shape recovery potential of multi-epoch TESS observations
Nóra Takács, Csaba Kiss, Róbert Szakáts +1
Using multidirectional measurements from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we investigated the viability of determining the approximate shape and spin axis orientat…
Three fast-rotating Jovian Trojans identified by TESS set new population density limits
Csaba Kiss, Nóra Takács, Csilla E. Kalup +8
Here we report on the identification of the three fastest rotating Jovian Trojans with reliable population assignment, using light curve data from the Transiting Exoplanet Satellit…
Radiative transfer modeling of Haumea's dust ring
Csilla Kalup, László Molnár, Csaba Kiss
Among the growing number of small body rings in the solar system, the ring of Haumea has a special status as it is likely suitable for direct imaging in the visible and submillimet…
