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...

The AKARI IRC all-sky survey provided more than twenty thousand thermal infrared observations of over five thousand asteroids. Diameters and albedos were obtained by fitting an...

The available set of spin and shape modelled asteroids is strongly biased against slowly rotating targets and those with low lightcurve amplitudes. This is due to the observing...

The low-inclination (i<80{deg}) primitive asteroid families in the inner main belt, that is, Polana-Eulalia, Erigone, Sulamitis, and Clarissa, are considered to be the most...

The search for minor bodies in the Solar System promises insights into its formation history. Wide imaging surveys offer the opportunity to serendipitously discover and identify...

One-opposition near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are growing in number, and they must be recovered to prevent loss and mismatch risk, and to improve their orbits, as they are likely...

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...

Mars-crossing asteroids (MCs) are a dynamically unstable group between the main belt and the near-Earth populations. Characterising the physical properties of a large sample of...

The near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 2015 TB145 had a very close encounter with Earth at 1.3 lunar distances on October 31, 2015. We obtained 3-band mid-infrared observations of this...

Because the second reaction wheel failed, a new mission was conceived for the otherwise healthy Kepler space telescope. In the course of the K2 mission, the telescope is staring...

B-type asteroids constitute a peculiar spectral class within the C-complex. Previous work has pointed out the difference between the visible geometric albedos of B-types and...

The NIR photometric data of minor planets observed by the VISTA-VHS survey. This survey uses Y, J, H, and Ks filters for imaging the entire sky of the southern hemisphere. A...

Information about shapes and spin states of individual asteroids is important for the study of the whole asteroid population. For asteroids from the main belt, most of the shape...

The prediction of stellar occultations by trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs is a difficult challenge that requires accuracy both in the occulted star position and in...

Astrometric observations performed by the Gaia Follow-Up Network for Solar System Objects (Gaia-FUN-SSO) play a key role in ensuring that moving objects first detected by ESA's...

Multi-epoch Spitzer Space Telescope 24um data is utilized from the MIPSGAL and Taurus Legacy surveys to detect asteroids based on their relative motion. Infrared detections are...

Since the discovery of the Kuiper Belt, broadband surface colors were thoroughly studied as a first approximation to the objects reflectivity spectra. Visible colors (BVRI) have...

We propose that several short-duration events observed in past stellar occultations by Chiron were produced by ring material. Some similarities between these events and the...
