The potentially hazardous asteroid (153814) 2001 WN will pass inside the lunar distance on June 26, 2028, offering a rare opportunity to characterize a kilometer-scale near-Ear…
Refined rotational state and shape model of (98943) Torifune ahead of the Hayabusa2# flyby
P. Fatka, P. Pravec, P. Scheirich +4
The Hayabusa2# mission will perform a high-speed flyby of near-Earth asteroid (98943) Torifune on 5 July 2026, offering a rare opportunity to compare a pre-encounter spin and shape…
The spin state of asteroid Apophis and a prediction of its change during the 2029 close encounter with Earth
J. Durech, D. Vokrouhlicky, P. Pravec +23
On April 13, 2029, the asteroid Apophis will pass near Earth at a geocentric distance of about 38,000 km. Numerical models have suggested that the post-encounter spin state will cr…
Astrometric follow-up of near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 during a Torino scale level 3 alert
Marco Micheli, Maxime Devogèle, Larry Denneau +38
The discovery of 2024 YR4 presented the planetary defense community with the most significant impact threat in almost two decades, reaching level 3 on the Torino scale. The communi…
Polarimetry and albedo of the Near-Earth Asteroid 2025 FA22
J. -P. Rivet, S. Bagnulo, P. Bendjoya +17
We report spectropolarimetric and broadband polarimetric observations of the near-Earth asteroid 2025 FA22 during its close approach of 18 September 2025 (about two Moon distances)…
Rapid-response characterization of near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 during a Torino Scale 3 alert
Maxime Devogèle, Olivier R. Hainaut, Marco Micheli +32
On 27 December 2024, near-Earth object (NEO) 2024 YR was discovered by the ATLAS survey and identified as a virtual impactor. A few weeks later, it eventually reached level 3 o…
Shape and spin state model of contact binary (388188) 2006 DP14 using combined radar and optical observations
Richard E. Cannon, Agata Rozek, Marina Brozović +36
Contact binaries are found throughout the solar system. The recent discovery of Selam, the satellite of MBA (152830) Dinkinesh, by the NASA LUCY mission has made it clear that the…
M31N 2013-10c: A Newly Identified Recurrent Nova in M31
Allen W. Shafter, Kamil Hornoch, Hana Kučáková +11
The nova M31N 2023-11f (2023yoa) has been recently identified as the second eruption of a previously recognized nova, M31N 2013-10c, establishing the latter object as the 21st recu…
Secular change in the spin states of asteroids due to radiation and gravitation torques. New detections and updates of the YORP effect
J. Ďurech, D. Vokrouhlický, P. Pravec +21
The rotation state of small asteroids is affected in the long term by perturbing torques of gravitational and radiative origin (the YORP effect). Direct observational evidence of t…
Photometry of the Didymos system across the DART impact apparition
Nicholas Moskovitz, Cristina Thomas, Petr Pravec +78
On 26 September 2022, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the satellite of binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didymos. This demonstrated the…
An advanced multipole model of the (130) Elektra quadruple system
M. Fuksa, M. Brož, J. Hanuš +3
The Ch-type asteroid (130) Elektra is orbited by three moons, making it the first quadruple system in the main asteroid belt. We aim to characterise the irregular shape of Elektra…
2021 occultations and transits of Linus orbiting (22) Kalliope: I. Polygonal and `cliptracing' algorithm
M. Brož, J. Ďurech, M. Ferrais +10
The satellite Linus orbiting the main-belt asteroid (22) Kalliope exhibited occultation and transit events in late 2021. A photometric campaign was organized and observations were…
Quasi-one-dimensional He in nanopores
Andrea Nava, Domenico Giuliano, Phong H. Nguyen +1
Low temperature structural and superfluid properties of He confined in cylindrical nanopores are theoretically investigated by means of first principle Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC…
A satellite orbit drift in binary near-Earth asteroids (66391) 1999 KW4 and (88710) 2001 SL9 -- Indication of the BYORP effect
P. Scheirich, P. Pravec, P. Kušnirák +34
We obtained thorough photometric observations of two binary near-Earth asteroids (66391) Moshup = 1999 KW4 and (88710) 2001 SL9 taken from 2000 to 2019 and derived physical and dyn…
Cascade disruptions in asteroid clusters
