Prevalence of Fast Rotators among Small Near-Earth Asteroids: AN Ongoing Survey from the Canary Islands Observatories
Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) provide valuable opportunities to study the physical and structural properties of small bodies. While most asteroids have rotation...
Prevalence of Fast Rotators Among Small Near‑Earth Asteroids: An Ongoing Survey from the Two‑Meter Twin Telescope facility
Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) offer unique laboratories for probing the internal structure and cohesion of small bodies. Although most asteroids spin more slowly...
A population of small main-belt asteroids residing on closely similar orbits was revealed by Vokrouhlicky and Nesvorny (2008, Astron. J. 136, 280-290). We have...
PRIMASS visits the primitive collisional families in the central asteroid belt:Nemesis, Hoffmeister, and Padua
Asteroids are the remnant blocks of the early stages of the formation of our Solar System. In particular, those classified as "primitive" are believed to...
PRIMASS: A Snapshot of the Erigone Family in the Near-Infrared
Within the inner main belt resides the Erigone asteroid family, which consists of roughly 1776 objects. One of these members is Donaldjohanson, the first target...
