We fit 54,296 sparsely sampled asteroid light curves in the Palomar Transient Factory survey
to a combined rotation plus phase-function model. Each light curve consists of 20 or more …

We collected data on rotations and elongations of 46 secondaries of binary and triple
systems among near-Earth, Mars-crossing and small main belt asteroids. 24 were found or …

In 2018, the near-Earth object (155140) 2005 UD (hereafter UD) experienced a close fly by
of the Earth. We present results from an observational campaign involving photometric …

Asteroid systems such as binaries and pairs are indicative of the physical properties and
dynamical histories of small solar system bodies. Although numerous observational and …

The rubble pile spin barrier is an upper limit on the rotation rate of asteroids larger than∼
200–300 m. Among thousands of asteroids with diameters larger than∼ 300 m, only a …

Context. Asteroid families are the outcomes of disruption or cratering events on a size and
energy scales that are not reproducible in laboratory experiments. Overall structure, as well …

We present the physical and dynamical properties of the recently discovered active asteroid
(248370) 2005QN173 (aka 433P). From our observations, we derived two possible rotation …

Physical studies of asteroids depend on an availability of lightcurve data. Targets that are
easy to observe and analyse naturally have more data available, so their synodic periods …

Context. Because the second reaction wheel failed, a new mission was conceived for the
otherwise healthy Kepler space telescope. In the course of the K2 mission, the telescope is …
