Taxonomic Classification of Asteroids Using the KMTNet Multiband Photometry Data Set
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We report the multiband photometry of asteroids observed over 14 nights from 2015 December to 2017 December using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network telescopes with the taxonomic classification of those objects. The data set contains the photometry

Dynamic 3D Simulation of Surface Charging on Rotating Asteroids
The Astrophysical JournalThe surface-charging phenomenon of asteroids, mainly resulting from solar wind plasma and solar radiation, has been extensively studied. However, the influence of the asteroid’s rotation on surface charging is not yet fully understood.

Stereophotoclinometry on the OSIRIS-REx Mission: Mathematics and Methods
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Stereophotoclinometry (SPC) makes it possible to extract the shapes of surfaces by combining information from images, namely stereo parallax data and surface shading from slopes, with knowledge of the location of a spacecraft.
