Component properties and mutual orbit of binary main-belt comet 288P/(300163) 2006 VW139
Jessica Agarwal, Yoonyoung Kim, David Jewitt +3
The binary asteroid 288P/(300163) is unusual both for its combination of wide-separation and high mass ratio and for its comet-like activity. It is not currently known whether ther…
Active Asteroid P/2017 S5 (ATLAS)
David Jewitt, Yoonyoung Kim, Jayadev Rajagopal +7
Observations of active asteroid P/2017 S5 when near perihelion reveal the ejection of large (0.1 to 10 mm) particles at 0.2 to 2 m/s speeds, with estimated mass-loss rates of a few…
Physical properties of near-Earth asteroids with a low delta-: Survey of target candidates for the Hayabusa2 mission
Sunao Hasegawa, Daisuke Kuroda, Kohei Kitazato +40
Sample return from the near-Earth asteroid known as 25143 Itokawa was conducted as part of the Hayabusa mission, with a large number of scientific findings being derived from the r…
The Nucleus of Active Asteroid 311P/(2013 P5) PANSTARRS
David Jewitt, Harold Weaver, Max Mutchler +3
The unique inner-belt asteroid 311P/PANSTARRS (formerly P/2013 P5) is notable for its sporadic, comet-like ejection of dust in nine distinct epochs spread over 250 days in 20…
A binary main belt comet
Jessica Agarwal, David Jewitt, Max Mutchler +2
The asteroids are primitive solar system bodies which evolve both collisionally and through disruptions due to rapid rotation [1]. These processes can lead to the formation of bina…
