Photographic observations of XX century contained numerous and varied information about all objects and events of the Universe fixed on the astronegatives. The original and...

A catalogue of equatorial coordinates and magnitudes for 2162 asteroids and 11 comets was compiled based on the results of processing of digitized photographic observations of...

The search for asteroidal parent bodies of chondrites through various techniques is an ongoing endeavor. A link between ordinary chondrites (OCs) and S-type asteroids has...

The paper presents the results of position determination of minor planets carried out at the Skalmate Pleso Observatory in the year 2003. 108 CCD observations of 16 minor...

The paper presents the results of position determinations of minor planets carried out at the Skalnate Pleso Observatory in the year 2002. 109 CCD observations of 21 minor...

We present a physical model and spin-state analysis of the potential ly hazardous asteroid (23187) 2000 PN9. As part of a long-term campaign to make direct detections of the...

Between 2010 and 2017 we have collected new optical and radar observations of the potentially hazardous asteroid (2102) Tantalus from the ESO NTT and Danish telescopes at the La...

The YORP effect is a small thermal-radiation torque experienced by small asteroids, and is considered to be crucial in their physical and dynamical evolution. It is important to...

We aim to determine the distribution of basaltic asteroids (classified as V-types) based on the spectrophotometric data reported in the MOVIS-C catalogue. A total of 782...

The age of a young asteroid family can be determined by tracking the orbits of family members backward in time and showing that they converge at some time in the past. Here we...

Ceres is the largest and most massive body in the asteroid main belt. Observational data from the Dawn spacecraft reveal the presence of at least two impact craters about 280km...

The results of the in situ exploration of the asteroid (4) Vesta by the Dawn spacecraft open new perspectives in the field of interpretation of remote-sensing polarimetric...

It has been shown that large families are not limited to what found by hierarchical clustering methods (HCM) in the domain of proper elements (a,e,sin(i)), that seems to be...

Dust emission was detected on main-belt asteroid 596 Scheila in 2010 December and was attributed to the collision of a few-tens-of-meters projectile on the surface of the...

As a function of the solar phase angle, {alpha}, the linear polarization degree (referred to the scattering plane, P_r_) of solar system objects is a good diagnostic for...

Antarctica micrometeorites (~1200) and cosmic spherules (~5000) from deep sea sediments are studied using electron microscopy to identify Mg-rich olivine grains in order to...

We obtained high-speed photometry of the disintegrating planetesimals orbiting the white dwarf WD 1145+017, spanning a period of four weeks. The light curves show a dramatic...

We present preliminary diameters and albedos for 7956 asteroids detected in the first year of the NEOWISE Reactivation mission. Of those, 201 are near-Earth asteroids and 7755...

We present ultraviolet (UV) photometry (near-UV (NUV) band, 180-280nm) of 405 asteroids observed serendipitously by GALEX from 2003 to 2012. All asteroids in this sample were...

The achievable level of precision on photospheric abundances of stars is a major limiting factor on investigations of exoplanet host star characteristics, the chemical histories...
