Infrared Colors of Small Serendipitously Found Asteroids in the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey

The Astronomical Journal
The UKIRT Hemisphere Survey covers the northern sky in the infrared from 0° to 60° decl. Current data releases include both J and K bands, with H -band data forthcoming. Here, we present a novel pipeline to recover asteroids from this survey data.

Orbits of the Asteroids Discovered at the Molėtai Observatory in 2000–2004

Open Astronomy, 2014
The paper presents statistics of the asteroids observed and discovered at the Molėtai Observatory, Lithuania in 2000–2004 within the project for astrometric observations of the near-Earth objects (NEOs), the main belt asteroids and comets.

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

Spectral properties of near-Earth and Mars-crossing asteroids using Sloan photometry

, 2016
The nature and origin of the asteroids orbiting in near-Earth space, including those on a potentially hazardous trajectory, is of both scientific interest and practical importance.

Main-belt and Trojan asteroid phase curves from the ATLAS survey [PDF]

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Sparse and serendipitous asteroid photometry obtained by wide field surveys such as the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) is a valuable resource for studying the properties of large numbers of small Solar System bodies.

Observations and Quantitative Compositional Analysis of Ceres, Pallas, and Hygiea Using JWST/NIRSpec

The Planetary Science Journal
We present JWST Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) measurements of the three largest low-albedo main-belt asteroids: (1) Ceres, (2) Pallas, and (10) Hygiea.

A photometric search for active Main Belt asteroids

, 2014
It is well known that some Main Belt asteroids show comet-like features. A representative example is the first known Main Belt comet 133P/(7968) Elst-Pizarro. If the mechanisms causing this activity are too weak to develop visually evident comae or tails,
