Inner main belt asteroids in Slivan states?
, 2015 Context. The spin state of ten asteroids in the Koronis family has previously been determined. Surprisingly, all four asteroids with prograde rotation were shown to have spin axes nearly parallel in the inertial space.

Insights on the Rotational State and Shape of Asteroid (203) Pompeja from TESS Photometry
The Planetary Science JournalThe Main Belt asteroid (203) Pompeja shows evidence of extreme variability in visible and near-infrared spectral slope with time. The observed spectral variability has been hypothesized to be attributed to spatial variations across Pompeja’s surface.

Photometric Lightcurve Analysis of Low-Period Average-Brightness Main-Belt Asteroids
I will be using a telescope to determine the lightcurves of asteroids in the main belt. This is crucial for understanding their shape, surface features, and rotational dynamics.

Weak S-type asteroids compared to C-type explain the observed size distribution of the main belt
Astronomy & AstrophysicsThe main belt, the region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, is home to more than 1 million asteroids. These asteroids form orbital groups, (i.e., asteroid families formed by collisions) and also spectral groups (taxonomies) with different chemical ...

Satellite Formation around the Largest Asteroids
The Astrophysical Journal LettersSatellites around large asteroids are preferentially found among those with the most rapid rotation and elongated shape. The taxonomic statistics are similarly skewed; in total, 13 asteroids larger than 100 km are known to have satellites, but none have ...

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.

Near-Earth asteroids in main belt-crossing orbits
Astronomy & AstrophysicsAims. We study the dynamical and collisional evolution of Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) in main belt-crossing orbits (NEACs). Methods. We selected NEACs with H
