NEOWISE data and Thermophysical Modeling of 98943 Torifune (2001 CC21)
Edward L., Wright, Jospeh Masiero +1
The Hayabusa2# flyby target 98943 Torifune (2001 CC21) has an uncertain size based on an uncertain albedo and uncertain absolute magnitude. We have collected all the NEOWISE observ…

The blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) was observed on three occasions over a 4-month period between 2022 March and 2022 July with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). In thi…
Deep learning to improve the discovery of near-Earth asteroids in the Zwicky Transient Facility
Belén Yu Irureta-Goyena, George Helou, Jean-Paul Kneib +7
We present a novel pipeline that uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to improve the detection capability of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) in the context of planetary defense. O…
Joint Survey Processing. III. Compact Oddballs in the COSMOS Field -- Little Red Dots and Transients
Yu-Heng Lin, Andreas L. Faisst, Ranga-Ram Chary +7
We present the HST ACS G800L grism spectroscopy observation of the faint active galactic nuclei (AGN) candidates in the COSMOS field at redshift of 6 selected by the point-source m…
Two Distinct Populations of Dark Comets Delineated by Orbits and Sizes
Darryl Z. Seligman, Davide Farnocchia, Marco Micheli +7
Small bodies are capable of delivering essential prerequisites for the development of life, such as volatiles and organics, to the terrestrial planets. For example, empirical evide…
