Non-resolved thermal infrared observations enable studies of thermal and physical properties of asteroid surfaces provided the shape and rotational properties of the target are...

With an estimated diameter in the 320 to 350km range, (704) Interamnia is the fifth largest main belt asteroid and one of the few bodies that fills the gap in size between the...

Rotation properties (spin-axis direction and rotation period) and coarse shape models of asteroids can be reconstructed from their disk-integrated brightness when measured from...

The potentially hazardous asteroid (85990) 1999 JV6 has been a target of previously published thermal-infrared observations, and optical photometry. It has been identified as a...

Several primitive families in the inner region of the main asteroid belt were identified as potential sources for two near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), (101955) Bennu and (162173)...

We investigate the spectra, material properties and orbital distribution of mid-sized meteoroids. Our study aims to distinguish characteristics of different size populations of...

The near-Earth asteroid (1917) Cuyo was subject to radar and light curve observations during a close approach in 1989, and observed up until 2008. It was selected as one of our...

The population of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) shows a large variety of objects in terms of physical and dynamical properties. They are subject to planetary encounters and to...

We present the results of a polarimetric survey of main-belt asteroids at Complejo Astronomico El Leoncito (CASLEO), San Juan, Argentina. The aims of this survey are to increase...

We aim to study the rotational properties of the dwarf planet Makemake. The photometric observations were carried out at different telescopes between 2006 and 2017. Most of the...

Earlier work suggests that slowly rotating asteroids should have higher thermal inertias than faster rotators because the heat wave penetrates deeper into the subsurface....

Asteroid (7) Iris is an ideal target for disk-resolved imaging owing to its brightness (V~7-8) and large angular size of 0.33'' during its apparitions. Iris is believed to...

Several new meteor showers are added to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) list of meteor showers every year. Given the multiplication of video meteor measurements new...

In addition to stellar data, Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) also contains accurate astrometry and photometry of about 14000 asteroids covering 22 months of observations. We used Gaia...

Asteroid (16) Psyche is the target of the NASA Psyche mission. It is considered one of the few main-belt bodies that could be an exposed proto-planetary metallic core and that...

The near-Earth asteroid 3200 Phaethon (1983 TB) is an attractive object not only from a scientific viewpoint but also because of JAXA's DESTINY+ target. The rotational...

The vast majority of the geophysical and geological constraints (e.g., internal structure, cratering history) for main-belt asteroids have so far been obtained via dedicated...

Information about the spin state of asteroids is important for our understanding of the dynamical processes affecting them. However, spin properties of asteroids are known for...

We tabulate the taxonomic classification of 18265 asteroids catalogued by MOVIS. A probabilistic method and the k-nearest neighbors (KNN k=3) algorithm are used to assign a...

Both Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, have been observed during several imaging campaigns by the SRC on Mars Express. Several tens of images are obtained during mutual event...
