Asteroid families that are less than one million years old offer a unique possibility to investigate recent asteroid disruption events and test ideas about their dynamical...

The New Astrometric Reduction of Old Observations (NAROO) program is dedicated to the measurement of astrophotographic plates and the analysis of old observations for scientific...

As evidenced by recent survey results, the majority of asteroids are slow rotators (spin periods longer than 12h), but lack spin and shape models because of selection bias. This...

The leading theory for the origin of Jupiter Trojans (JTs) assumes that JTs were captured to their orbits near the Lagrangian points of Jupiter during the early reconfiguration...

The study of planet-crossing asteroids is of both practical and fundamental importance. As they are closer than asteroids in the Main Belt, we have access to a smaller size...

The physical characterization of the trans-Neptunian objects is essential for improving our understanding of the solar system's formation and evolution. Stellar occultation is a...

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...

Gaia Data Release 3 contains accurate photometric observations of more than 150000 asteroids covering a time interval of 34 months. With a total of about 3000000 measurements, a...

Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are being discovered at an ever increasing rate. However, their physical characterisation significantly lags behind. In particular, the taxonomic...

Quaoar is a classical trans-Neptunian object (TNO) with an area-equivalent diameter of 1100 km and an orbital semi-major axis of 43.3 astronomical units. Based on stellar...

Increasing our knowledge of the orbits and compositions of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) is important for a better understanding of the evolution of the Solar System and of life....

Cybele asteroids constitute an appealing reservoir of primitive material genetically linked to the outer Solar System, and the physical properties (size and shape) of the...

The rotational states of the members in the dwarf planet - satellite systems in the transneptunian region are determined by the formation conditions and the tidal interaction...

We use phase curves of small bodies to measure absolute magnitudes and, together with complementary theoretical and laboratory results, to understand their surfaces' micro and...

A catalog of 824 fireballs, i.e. bright meteors, observed by a dedicated network of all-sky digital photographic cameras in central Europe is presented. The current status of...

We are living in the era of large catalogs. Everyday many observatories, terrestrial and space-based, provide us with numerous data to do science. In this context, statistical...

We present a database of the absolute magnitudes of asteroids named the Kharkiv Asteroid Absolute Magnitude Database (KhAAMD). The database includes a homogeneous set of the...

Families of asteroids generated by the collisional fragmentation of a common parent body have been identified using clustering methods of asteroids in their proper orbital...

The Calern Asteroid Polarimetric Survey (CAPS), a collaboration between the INAF Astrophysical Observatory of Torino (Italy) and the Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur (Nice,...

The classification of the minor bodies of the Solar System based on observables has been continuously developed and iterated over the past 40 yr. While prior iterations followed...
