PublicationPortrait of the Polana-Eulalia family complex: Surface homogeneity revealed from near-infrared spectroscopy
The inner asteroid belt is an important source of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). Dynamical studies of the inner asteroid belt have identified several families...

PublicationPossible ring material around centaur (2060) Chiron
We propose that several short-duration events observed in past stellar occultations by Chiron were produced by ring material. Some similarities between these...

PublicationPRIMASS near-infrared study of the Erigone collisional family
Past analyses of spectral properties of the inner-belt primitive families in visible wavelengths have uncovered the possible existence of two compositional...

PublicationPRIMASS visits Hilda and Cybele groups
The Cybele and Hilda dynamical groups delimit the outer edge of the asteroid belt. Their compositional distribution is a key element to constrain evolutionary...
