PublicaciónRotational fission of trans-Neptunian objects: the case of Haumea
We present several lines of evidence, based on different kinds of observations, and we conclude that it is likely that rotational fission has occurred for a...

PublicaciónSamples returned from the asteroid Ryugu are similar to Ivuna-type carbonaceous meteorites
Carbonaceous meteorites are thought to be fragments of C-type (carbonaceous) asteroids. Samples of the C-type asteroid (162173) Ryugu were retrieved by the...

PublicaciónScaling slowly rotating asteroids with stellar occultations
Context. As evidenced by recent survey results, the majority of asteroids are slow rotators (spin periods longer than 12 h), but lack spin and shape models...

PublicaciónShape and spin determination of Barbarian asteroids
Context. The so-called Barbarian asteroids share peculiar, but common polarimetric properties, probably related to both their shape and composition. They are...
