Removing Aliases in Time-Series Photometry
Daniel Kramer, Michael Gowanlock, David Trilling +2
Ground-based, all-sky astronomical surveys are imposed with an inevitable day-night cadence that can introduce aliases in period-finding methods. We examined four different methods…
The Solar System Notification Alert Processing System (SNAPS): Design, Architecture, and First Data Release (SNAPShot1)
David E. Trilling, Michael Gowanlock, Daniel Kramer +4
We present here the design, architecture, and first data release for the Solar System Notification Alert Processing System (SNAPS). SNAPS is a Solar System broker that ingests aler…
Discovery of Super-Slow Rotating Asteroids with ATLAS and ZTF photometry
N. Erasmus, D. Kramer, A. McNeill +7
We present here the discovery of a new class of super-slow rotating asteroids (P>1000 hours) in data extracted from the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) and Zw…
Comparison of the physical properties of the L4 and L5 Trojan asteroids from ATLAS data
A. McNeill, N. Erasmus, D. E. Trilling +7
Jupiter has nearly 8000~known co-orbital asteroids orbiting in the L4 and L5 Lagrange points called Jupiter Trojan asteroids. Aside from the greater number density of the L4 cloud…
Investigating Taxonomic Diversity within Asteroid Families through ATLAS Dual-Band Photometry
N. Erasmus, S. Navarro-Meza, A. McNeill +6
We present here the c-o colors for identified Flora, Vesta, Nysa-Polana, Themis, and Koronis family members within the historic data set (2015-2018) of the Asteroid Terrestrial-imp…
Asteroid Photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite: A Pilot Study
A. McNeill, M. Mommert, D. E. Trilling +2
The {\it Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite} (TESS) searches for planets transiting bright and nearby stars using high-cadence, large-scale photometric observations. Full Frame…
The Natural History of 'Oumuamua
Oumuamua ISSI Team
The discovery of the first interstellar object passing through the Solar System, 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuamua), provoked intense and continuing interest from the scientific community and…
Spitzer Albedos of Near-Earth Objects
Annika Gustafsson, David E. Trilling, Michael Mommert +6
Thermal infrared observations are the most effective way to measure asteroid diameter and albedo for a large number of near-Earth objects. Major surveys like NEOWISE, NEOSurvey, Ex…
A Taxonomic Study of Asteroid Families from KMTNet-SAAO Multi-band Photometry
N. Erasmus, A. McNeill, M. Mommert +3
We present here multi-band photometry for over 2000 Main-belt asteroids. For each target we report the probabilistic taxonomy using the measured V-R and V-I colors in combination w…
Constraining the Shape Distribution of Near Earth Objects from Partial Lightcurves
Andrew McNeill, Joseph L. Hora, Annika Gustafsson +2
In the absence of dense photometry for a large population of Near Earth Objects (NEOs), the best method of obtaining a shape distribution comes from sparse photometry and partial l…
Spitzer Observations of Interstellar Object 1I/`Oumuamua
DE Trilling, M Mommert, JL Hora +20
1I/`Oumuamua is the first confirmed interstellar body in our Solar System. Here we report on observations of `Oumuamua made with the Spitzer Space Telescope on 2017 November 21--22…
Extreme asteroids in the Pan-STARRS 1 Survey
Andrew McNeill, Alan Fitzsimmons, Robert Jedicke +7
Using the first 18 months of the Pan-STARRS 1 survey we have identified 33 candidate high-amplitude objects for follow-up observations and carried out observations of 22 asteroids.…
Main Belt Asteroid Shape Distribution from Gaia DR2
Michael Mommert, Andrew McNeill, David E. Trilling +2
Gaia Data Release 2 includes observational data for 14,099 pre-selected asteroids. From the sparsely sampled G band photometry, we derive lower-limit lightcurve amplitudes for 11,6…
Infrared Lightcurves of Near Earth Objects
Joseph L. Hora, Amir Siraj, Michael Mommert +9
We present lightcurves and derive periods and amplitudes for a subset of 38 near earth objects (NEOs) observed at 4.5 microns with the IRAC camera on the the Spitzer Space Telescop…
Taxonomy and Light-Curve Data of 1000 Serendipitously Observed Main-Belt Asteroids
N. Erasmus, A. McNeill, M. Mommert +3
We present VRI spectrophotometry of 1003 Main-Belt Asteroids (MBAs) observed with the Sutherland, South Africa, node of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet). All of th…
Constraints on the Density and Internal Strength of 1I/'Oumuamua
Andrew McNeill, David E. Trilling, Michael Mommert
1I/'Oumuamua was discovered by the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS 1) on 19 October 2017. Unlike all previously discovered minor planets this objec…
280 one-opposition near-Earth asteroids recovered by the EURONEAR with the Isaac Newton Telescope
O. Vaduvescu, L. Hudin, T. Mocnik +80
One-opposition near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are growing in number, and they must be recovered to prevent loss and mismatch risk, and to improve their orbits, as they are likely to b…
The 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko observation campaign in support of the Rosetta mission
C. Snodgrass, M. F. A'Hearn, F. Aceituno +112
We present a summary of the campaign of remote observations that supported the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. Telescopes across the globe (and in space) followed comet 67…
Brightness variation distributions among main belt asteroids from sparse light curve sampling with Pan-STARRS 1
A. McNeill, A. Fitzsimmons, R. Jedicke +7
The rotational state of asteroids is controlled by various physical mechanisms including collisions, internal damping and the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect. W…
