    Scaling 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...

    Shallow Ultraviolet Transits of WD 1145+017
    WD 1145+017 is a unique white dwarf system that has a heavily polluted atmosphere, an infrared excess from a dust disk, numerous broad absorption lines from...

    Shape 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...

    Shape and spin-state model of tumbling asteroid (319) Leona
    Context. Stellar occultations by asteroids observed from several stations are routinely used to reconstruct the asteroid's sky-plane projections. Together with...

    Size and albedo distributions of asteroids in cometary orbits using WISE data
    Context. Determining whether asteroids in cometary orbits (ACOs) are dormant or extinct comets is relevant for understanding the end-states of comets and the...

    Spectral characterisation of 14 V-type candidate asteroids from the MOVIS catalogue
    Most of the currently known basaltic (V-type) asteroids are believed to be past or present members of the Vesta dynamical family. The rising discoveries of V...

    Spectral diversity of the inner belt primitive asteroid background population
    We present new near-infrared spectra of 55 objects observed using the NASA InfraRed Telescope Facility and the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, along with visible...

    Spectral properties of asteroids in cometary orbits
    Aims: In this paper we analyze the spectra of a sample of asteroids in cometary orbits (ACOs) in order to understand the relationship between them, the Jupiter...
