(216) Kleopatra, a low density critically rotating M-type asteroid
F. Marchis, L. Jorda, P. Vernazza +36
Context. The recent estimates of the 3D shape of the M/Xe-type triple asteroid system (216) Kleopatra indicated a density of 5 g.cm. Such a high density implies a high metal…
An advanced multipole model for (216) Kleopatra triple system
M. Brož, F. Marchis, L. Jorda +37
To interpret adaptive-optics observations of (216) Kleopatra, we need to describe an evolution of multiple moons, orbiting an extremely irregular body and including their mutual in…
Evidence for differentiation of the most primitive small bodies
B. Carry, P. Vernazza, F. Vachier +40
Dynamical models of Solar System evolution have suggested that P-/D-type volatile-rich asteroids formed in the outer Solar System and may be genetically related to the Jupiter Troj…
A charging model for the Rosetta spacecraft
F. L. Johansson, A. I. Eriksson, N. Gilet +5
Context. The electrostatic potential of a spacecraft, VS, is important for the capabilities of in situ plasma measurements. Rosetta has been found to be negatively charged during m…
Binary asteroid (31) Euphrosyne: Ice-rich and nearly spherical
B. Yang, J. Hanus, B. Carry +38
Asteroid (31) Euphrosyne is one of the biggest objects in the asteroid main belt and the Euphrosyne family occupies a highly inclined region in the outer main belt and contains a r…
Role of spectral resolution for infrared asteroid compositional analysis using meteorite spectra
A. Skulteti, A. Kereszturi, Zs. Kereszty +3
In this work the potential mineral identification of meteorites is analysed for the mid-infrared range, to evaluate observational possibilities for future missions targeting small…
The shape of (7) Iris as evidence of an ancient large impact?
J. Hanuš, M. Marsset, P. Vernazza +35
Asteroid (7) Iris is an ideal target for disk-resolved imaging owing to its brightness (V7-8) and large angular size of 0.33 arcsec during its apparitions. Iris is believed t…
Closing the gap between Earth-based and interplanetary mission observations: Vesta seen by VLT/SPHERE
R. JL. Fétick, L. Jorda, P. Vernazza +34
Context. Over the past decades, several interplanetary missions have studied small bodies in situ, leading to major advances in our understanding of their geological and geophysica…
The homogeneous internal structure of CM-like asteroid (41) Daphne
B. Carry, F. Vachier, J. Berthier +48
Context. CM-like asteroids (Ch and Cgh classes) are a major population within the broader C-complex, encompassing about 10% of the mass of the main asteroid belt. Their internal st…
(16) Psyche: A mesosiderite-like asteroid?
M. Viikinkoski, P. Vernazza, J. Hanus +35
Asteroid (16) Psyche is the target of the NASA Psyche mission. It is considered one of the few main-belt bodies that could be an exposed proto-planetary metallic core and that woul…
Reconceiling the orbital and physical properties of the martian moons
Thomas Ronnet, Pierre Vernazza, Olivier Mousis +5
The origin of Phobos and Deimos is still an open question. Currently, none of the three proposed scenarios for their origin (intact capture of two distinct outer solar system small…
Empirical probability model of the cold plasma environment in Jovian inner magnetosphere
Yoshifumi Futaana, Xiao-Dong Wang, Elias Roussos +4
A new empirical, analytical model of cold plasma (< 10 keV) in the Jovian inner magnetosphere is constructed. Plasmas in this energy range impact surface charging. A new feature of…
