Infrared Colors of Small Serendipitously Found Asteroids in the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey
The Astronomical JournalThe 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.

Compositional Diversity Among Primitive Asteroids [PDF]
, 2018 Spectroscopic observations from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared have revealed new and diagnostic differences among primitive asteroids. We review the spectral characteristics of these asteroids and their inferred compositional and physical properties.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 11, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract The Terminal Tracking Camera (TTCam) imaging system on the NASA Lucy Discovery mission consists of a pair of cameras that are being used mainly as a navigation and target acquisition system for the mission's asteroid encounters. However, a secondary science‐focused function of the TTCam system is to provide wide‐angle broadband images over a ...

Photometry and Models of Seven Main-Belt Asteroids
UniverseThe China Near-Earth Object Survey Telescope (CNEOST) conducted four photometric surveys from 2015 to 2018 using image processing and aperture photometry techniques to obtain extensive light curve data on asteroids. The second-order Fourier series method

Dynamical erosion of the asteroid belt and implications for large impacts in the inner solar system [PDF]
, 2009 The cumulative effects of weak resonant and secular perturbations by the major planets produce chaotic behavior of asteroids on long timescales. Dynamical chaos is the dominant loss mechanism for asteroids with diameters D > 10 km in the current asteroid belt.
