Catastrophic disruption of asteroid 2023 CX1 and implications for planetary defense
Auriane Egal, Denis Vida, François Colas +94
Mitigation of the threat from airbursting asteroids requires an understanding of the potential risk they pose for the ground. How asteroids release their kinetic energy in the atmo…
Refined physical parameters for Chariklo's body and rings from stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2020
B. E. Morgado, B. Sicardy, F. Braga-Ribas +78
The Centaur (10199) Chariklo has the first rings system discovered around a small object. It was first observed using stellar occultation in 2013. Stellar occultations allow the de…
A Case Study of the May 30th, 2017 Italian Fireball
A. Carbognani, D. Barghini, D. Gardiol +25
On May 30th, 2017 at about 21h 09m 17s UTC a green bright fireball crossed the sky of north-eastern Italy. The fireball path was observed from some all-sky cameras starting from a…
Size and shape of Chariklo from multi-epoch stellar occultations
R Leiva, B Sicardy, J I B Camargo +28
We use data from five stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2016 to constrain Chariklo's size and shape, and the ring reflectivity. We consider four possible models for Ch…
The structure of Chariklo's rings from stellar occultations
D. Bérard, B. Sicardy, J. I. B. Camargo +79
Two narrow and dense rings (called C1R and C2R) were discovered around the Centaur object (10199) Chariklo during a stellar occultation observed on 2013 June 3. Following this disc…
The non-convex shape of (234) Barbara, the first Barbarian
P. Tanga, B. Carry, F. Colas +37
Asteroid (234) Barbara is the prototype of a category of asteroids that has been shown to be extremely rich in refractory inclusions, the oldest material ever found in the Solar Sy…
The recent dynamical history of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Lucie Maquet
This paper presents the past evolution of the orbital elements of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, target of the Rosetta spacecraft. The gravitational orbit of the comet is affecte…
Coupling the non-gravitational forces and Modified Newton Dynamics for cometary orbits
Lucie Maquet, Frédéric Pierret
In recent work (Milgrom 2009, Blanchet & Novak 2011), the authors showed that MOdified Newton Dynamics (MOND) have a non-negligible secular perturbation effect on planets with larg…
A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo
F. Braga-Ribas, B. Sicardy, J. L. Ortiz +61
Until now, rings have been detected in the Solar System exclusively around the four giant planets. Here we report the discovery of the first minor-body ring system around the Centa…
Instrumental Methods for Professional and Amateur Collaborations in Planetary Astronomy
O. Mousis, R. Hueso, J. -P. Beaulieu +57
Amateur contributions to professional publications have increased exponentially over the last decades in the field of Planetary Astronomy. Here we review the different domains of t…
