Polarimetric survey of main-belt asteroids [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2017 Aims. We present the results of a polarimetric survey of main-belt asteroids at Complejo Astronómico El Leoncito (CASLEO), San Juan, Argentina. The aims of this survey are to increase the database of asteroid polarimetry, to estimate diversity in ...

The Distribution of Highly Red-sloped Asteroids in the Middle and Outer Main Belt [PDF]
The Planetary Science JournalRed ( S > 10%/0.1 μ m) spectral slopes are common among Centaurs and trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in the outer solar system. Interior to and co-orbital with Jupiter, the red ( S ∼ 10%/0.1 μ m) slopes of D-type main-belt and Jupiter Trojan asteroids are

Escape of asteroids from the main belt [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2017 Aims. We locate escape routes from the main asteroid belt, particularly into the near-Earth-object (NEO) region, and estimate the relative fluxes for different escape routes as a function of object size under the influence of the Yarkovsky semimajor-axis

Polarimetry of main belt asteroids: wavelength dependence
Icarus, 2009 International audienceNew UBVRI polarimetric observations of ten asteroids, including space mission targets 1 Ceres and 21 Lutetia, are presented. These observations were obtained with the 1.25-m telescope of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory and ...

Collaborative asteroid photometry of six main-belt asteroids
, 2022 Synodic rotation periods of six main-belt asteroids were derived from photometric observations obtained from 2021 July 21 through November 2 from three observatories situated in Malta and one from Spain.

Rogue Asteroids in the Inner Main Asteroid Belt
, 2014 International audienceVery red featureless asteroids (spectroscopic D-types) are common among Jupiter Trojans, Hildas, and the outer main belt, and are thought to have formed in the outer solar system.

The distribution of basaltic asteroids in the Main Belt [PDF]
Icarus, 2008 We present the observational results of a survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as candidates for having a basaltic composition. Fifty basaltic candidates were selected with orbital elements that lie outside of the Vesta dynamical family.

The Mid-plane of the Main Asteroid Belt [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2018 Abstract We measure the mid-plane of the main asteroid belt by using the observational data of a nearly complete and unbiased sample of asteroids and find that it has inclination and longitude of ascending node
