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…
Physical properties of the trans-Neptunian object (38628) Huya from a multi-chord stellar occultation
P. Santos-Sanz, J. L. Ortiz, B. Sicardy +85
Within our international program to obtain accurate physical properties of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) we predicted a stellar occultation by the TNO (38628) Huya of the star Gai…
The multichord stellar occultation on 2019 October 22 by the trans-Neptunian object (84922) 2003 VS
M. Vara-Lubiano, G. Benedetti-Rossi, P. Santos-Sanz +60
We predicted, observed, and analyzed the multichord stellar occultation of the Second Gaia Data Release (Gaia DR2) source 3449076721168026624 (m = 14.1 mag) by the plutino obje…
Luminous efficiency based on FRIPON meteors
Esther Drolshagen, Theresa Ott, Detlef Koschny +36
In meteor physics the luminous efficiency is used to convert the meteor's magnitude to the corresponding meteoroid's mass. However, lack of sufficiently accurate verification m…
Photometry of asteroids (5141), (43032), (85953), (259221), and (363599) observed at Pic du Midi Observatory
B. A. Dumitru, M. Birlan, A. Sonka +2
These are the first results of an observational program devoted to the complete physical data of asteroids that could produce or feed meteoroid streams. Our results are based on th…
Near-infrared colors of minor planets recovered from VISTA - VHS survey (MOVIS)
M. Popescu, J. Licandro, D. Morate +6
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) provide information about the surface composition of about 100,000 minor planets. The resulting v…
Spectral properties of the largest asteroids associated with Taurid Complex
M. Popescu, M. Birlan, D. A. Nedelcu +2
We obtained spectra of six of the largest asteroids (2201, 4183, 4486, 5143, 6063, and 269690) associated with Taurid complex. The observations were made with the IRTF telescope eq…
