A large topographic feature on the surface of the trans-Neptunian object (307261) 2002 MS measured from stellar occultations
F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. L. Ortiz +201
This work aims at constraining the size, shape, and geometric albedo of the dwarf planet candidate 2002 MS4 through the analysis of nine stellar occultation events. Using multichor…
Discovery and physical characterization as the first response to a potential asteroid collision: The case of 2023 DZ2
Marcel M. Popescu, O. Văduvescu, Julia de León +15
Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that may evolve into impactors deserve detailed threat assessment studies. Early physical characterization of a would-be impactor may help in optimizing…
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…
Dozens of virtual impactor orbits eliminated by the EURONEAR VIMP DECam data mining project
O. Vaduvescu, L. Curelaru, M. Popescu +2
Massive data mining of image archives observed with large etendue facilities represents a great opportunity for orbital amelioration of poorly known virtual impactor asteroids (VIs…
Physical characterization of 2020 AV2, the first known asteroid orbiting inside Venus orbit
M. Popescu, J. de León, C. de la Fuente Marcos +8
The first known asteroid with the orbit inside that of Venus is 2020~AV. This may be the largest member of a new population of small bodies with the aphelion smaller than 0.7…
