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…
Col-OSSOS: Compositional homogeneity of three Kuiper belt binaries
Michael Marsset, Wesley C. Fraser, Michele T. Bannister +10
The surface characterization of Trans-Neptunian Binaries (TNBs) is key to understanding the properties of the disk of planetesimals from which these objects formed. In the optical…
Twenty years of SpeX: Accuracy limits of spectral slope measurements in asteroid spectroscopy
Michael Marsset, Francesca E. DeMeo, Richard P. Binzel +8
We examined two decades of SpeX/NASA Infrared Telescope Facility observations from the Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (SMASS) and the MIT-Hawaii Near-Earth Object Sp…
Interstellar comet 2I/Borisov as seen by MUSE: C, NH and red CN detections
Michele T. Bannister, Cyrielle Opitom, Alan Fitzsimmons +11
We report the clear detection of C and of abundant NH in the first prominently active interstellar comet, 2I/Borisov. We observed 2I on three nights in November 2019 at opt…
(704) Interamnia: A transitional object between a dwarf planet and a typical irregular-shaped minor body
J. Hanuš, P. Vernazza, M. Viikinkoski +56
With an estimated diameter in the 320 to 350 km range, (704) Interamnia is the fifth largest main belt asteroid and one of the few bodies that fills the gap in size between the fou…
Active asteroid (6478) Gault: a blue Q-type surface below the dust?
Michael Marsset, Francesca DeMeo, Adrian Sonka +6
We present near-infrared spectroscopy of the sporadically active asteroid (6478) Gault collected on the 3 m NASA/Infrared Telescope Facility observatory in late 2019 March/early Ap…
