SpinTrace: A Python Library to Study the Physical Properties of Small Bodies Using Survey-based Photometry

The Planetary Science Journal
We present S pin T race , a Python tool developed to retrieve and process survey-based photometry for the detection of brightness variations—primarily, but not exclusively—due to asteroid rotation.

Thermal-IR Observations of (152830) Dinkinesh during the Lucy Mission Flyby

The Planetary Science Journal
NASA’s Lucy spacecraft flew by the main-belt asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh on 2023 November 1, providing a test of its instruments and systems prior to its encounters with the Jupiter Trojans and enabling an opportunity for scientific investigation of this

Behavior of Jupiter Non-Trojan Co-Orbitals

, 2012
Searching for the non-Trojan Jupiter co-orbitals we have numerically integrated orbits of 3\,160 asteroids and 24 comets discovered by October 2010 and situated within and close to the planet co-orbital region. Using this sample we have been able to select eight asteroids and three comets and have analyzed their orbital behavior in a great detail ...

JWST Reveals Varied Origins between Jupiter’s Irregular Satellites

The Planetary Science Journal
We report JWST NIRSpec (0.7–5.1 μ m) observations of eight Jovian irregular satellites across five orbital groups. We detect variation in the phyllosilicate content of the three largest members of the Himalia collisional family (Himalia, D  ∼ 140 km ...

Is Amalthea a Captured Trojan Asteroid of Jupiter? [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 2005
AbstractThe Galileo spacecraft has found Jupiter’s inner regular moon Amalthea to be a porous assemblage of rock and ice. This and other factors point to Amalthea having first condensed in a solar orbit.

2019 UO14: A Transient Trojan of Saturn

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Saturn has long been the only giant planet in our solar system without any known Trojan members. In this Letter, with serendipitous archival observations and refined orbit determination, we report that 2019 UO _14 is a Trojan of the gas giant.

Determinations of Asteroid Masses Using Mutual Encounters Observed in the Legacy Survey of Space and Time

The Planetary Science Journal
Using published simulations of the 10 yr Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), we forecast its ability to determine the masses of individual main-belt asteroids (MBAs) through precise astrometry of any pairs of the ≈1.2 million known MBAs undergoing ...
