Rotational Properties of Trojan Asteroid 5209 [PDF]
, 2011 We present VR photometric observations of several Trojan asteroids and of asteroid 5209 1 989 CW1. Trojan Asteroids are found in the L4 and L5 stable Lagrange points of Jupiter\u27s orbit. These asteroids are farther away and generally more dim than Main

Three Fast-spinning Medium-sized Hilda Asteroids Uncovered by TESS
The Astrophysical Journal LettersHilda asteroids, which orbit in a 3:2 resonance with Jupiter, serve as key indicators of dynamical processes in the early solar system. Their spin rates, an important probe of these mechanisms, can constrain their density and collisional evolution ...

3 μm Phase Curves of Main-belt Asteroids from NEOWISE Photometry
The Planetary Science JournalThe shapes of asteroid phase curves are influenced by the physical properties of asteroid surfaces. The variation of an asteroid’s brightness as a function of the solar phase angle can tell us about surface properties such as grain size distribution ...

The earliest studies of asteroid mining proposed retrieving a main belt asteroid. Because of the very long travel times to the main asteroid belt, attention has shifted to the asteroids whose orbits bring them fairly close to the Earth. In these schemes,

Occultation-based Size and Shape of (269) Justitia
The Planetary Science JournalWe present results from an occultation of a star by the asteroid (269) Justitia on 2023 August 31 UT using a deployment of 34 stations. Of the deployed stations, 29 were successful in collecting useful data and 19 recorded a positive occultation event ...
