Aims: Our aim is to obtain more information about the physical nature of B-type asteroids and extend previous work by studying their physical properties as...

The observation of Near Earth objects (NEOs) allows us to study the physical properties of the smallest size bodies of our Solar System and help impose...

The study of minor planets is motivated both by fundamental science of Solar system origins (some of these bodies contain the most pristine materials from the...

We propose that several short-duration events observed in past stellar occultations by Chiron were produced by ring material. Some similarities between these...

Context. Recent results for asteroid rotation periods from the TESS mission showed how strongly previous studies have underestimated the number of slow rotators...

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...

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...

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...
