Context. The classification of the minor bodies of the Solar System based on observables
has been continuously developed and iterated over the past 40 yr. While prior iterations …

Context. Basaltic V-type asteroids are leftovers from the formation and evolution of
differentiated planetesimals. They are thought to originate from mantles and crusts of …

Context. The sample of Solar system objects has dramatically increased over the last
decade. The number of measured properties (eg, diameter, taxonomy, rotation period …

Asteroid phase curves are used to derive fundamental physical properties through the
determination of the absolute magnitude H. The upcoming visible Legacy Survey of Space …

The material composition of asteroids is an essential piece of knowledge in the quest to
understand the formation and evolution of the Solar System. Visual to near-infrared spectra …

Context. The study of planet-crossing asteroids is of both practical and fundamental
importance. As they are closer than asteroids in the Main Belt, we have access to a smaller …

We present the results of observations of asteroid (248370) QN173 obtained during July
2021–January 2022 with three telescopes. Our analysis revealed the presence of the dust …

The increasing population of space debris orbiting the Earth, poses a significant threat to
operational and future missions. The follow-up observations of space objects can help to …

Aims. The near-Earth asteroid population suggests the existence of an inner main belt
source of asteroids that belongs to the spectroscopic X complex and has moderate albedos …

Context. Andesitic meteorites are among the oldest achondrites known to date. They record
volcanic events and crust formation episodes in primordial planetesimals that took place …
