This table is a preview catalog of asteroid observations carried out by the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute (FAI) as part of our ongoing contribution to planetary defense and...

Understanding the rotational periods of asteroids is crucial for gaining insights into their internal structures, compositions, and collisional histories. NASA's Kepler Space...

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...

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...

From CCD observations carried out with different telescopes, we present short-term photometric measurements of the large trans-Neptunian object Varuna in 10 epochs, spanning...

Plagioclase feldspars are among the most prevalent minerals in the solar system, and are present in many chondritic and achondritic meteorite families. Nevertheless, spectral...

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...

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...

Using albedos from WISE/NEOWISE to separate distinct albedo groups within the Main Belt asteroids, we apply the Hierarchical Clustering Method to these subpopulations and...

Enhancements to the science data processing pipeline of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission, collectively known as NEOWISE, resulted in the detection of...

We present preliminary diameters and albedos for 13511 Main Belt asteroids (MBAs) that were observed during the 3-Band Cryo phase of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer...

We present updated/new thermal model fits for 478 Jovian Trojan asteroids observed with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Using the fact that the two shortest...

We present the preliminary analysis of 1023 known asteroids in the Hilda region of the solar system observed by the NEOWISE component of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer...

The UKIRT Hemisphere Survey covers the northern sky in the infrared from 0{deg} to 60{deg} decl. Current data releases include both J and K bands, with H-band data forthcoming....

A novel algorithm based on the Lindstedt-Poincare method is proposed to construct an analytical solution of the lunar orbit. Based on the analytical solution, a numerical...

The detection of satellites around extrasolar planets, so called exomoons, remains a largely unexplored territory. In this work, we study the potential of detecting these...

We report 491 new near-infrared spectroscopic measurements of 420 near-Earth objects (NEOs) collected on the NASA InfraRed Telescope Facility as part of the MIT-Hawaii NEO...

The Yarkovsky effect is a thermal process acting upon the orbits of small celestial bodies, which can cause these orbits to slowly expand or contract with time. The effect is...

The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS) aims to observe and characterize small (mean absolute magnitude H~25 mag) Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that are accessible...

CM chondrites are the most common type of hydrated meteorites, making up ~1.5% of all falls. Whereas most CM chondrites experienced only low-temperature (~0{deg}C-120{deg}C)...
