Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Key Targets of Opportunity on Gas and Ice Giants and their satellites
Ricardo Hueso, Leigh N. Fletcher, Damya Souami +15
The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will transform our knowledge of the outer planets and their satellite systems; however the visibility of unique targets of opportunity with high…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40m Telescope and the Science at Stake: from Interstellar Visitors to Planetary Defence
J. de León, N. Pinilla-Alonso, P. Tanga +49
Small Solar system Objects (SSOs) preserve the physical, chemical, and dynamical signatures of the Sun's protoplanetary disk. Upcoming surveys will discover vast numbers of new obj…
Spectro-photometry of Phobos simulants: II. Effects of porosity
Antonin Wargnier, Olivier Poch, Giovanni Poggiali +13
Surface porosity has been found to be an important property for small bodies. Some asteroids and comets can exhibit an extremely high surface porosity in the first millimeter layer…
Size, albedo and rotational period of the Hayabusa2# target (98943) 2001 CC21
S. Fornasier, E. Dotto, P. Panuzzo +8
This study aims to determine the size, albedo and rotational period of (98943) 2001 CC21, target of the Hayabusa2 extended mission, using thermal data from the Spitzer Space telesc…
Spectro-photometry of Phobos simulants: I. Detectability of hydrated minerals and organic bands
Antonin Wargnier, Thomas Gautier, Alain Doressoundiram +12
Previous observations of Phobos and Deimos, the moons of Mars, have improved our understanding of these small bodies. However, their formation and composition remain poorly constra…
