Influence of the dynamic classification of asteroids on observation astrometric errors: a statistical analysis [PDF]
, 2023 The ephemerides of minor planets are computed on the basis of astrometric observations. The asteroid orbit determination process requires these observations to be properly weighted to take into account the expected accuracy of the data.

Rotation periods and shape asphericity in asteroid families based on TESS S1-S13 observations [PDF]
, 2022 Here we present the analysis of the distribution of rotation periods and light curve amplitudes based on 2859 family asteroids in 16 Main Belt families based on 9912 TESS asteroid light curves in the TSSYS-DR1 asteroid light curve database. We found that

Chaotic diffusion caused by close encounters with several massive asteroids: II. the regions of (10) Hygiea, (2) Pallas, and (31) Euphrosyne [PDF]
, 2013 Context. Close encounters with (1) Ceres and (4) Vesta, the two most massive bodies in the main belt, are known to be a mechanism of dynamical mobility able to significantly alter proper elements of minor bodies, and they are the main source of dynamical

Can Asteroid Belts Exist in the Luyten’s System?
, 2022 The extra-solar planetary system Luyten is relatively close (12.3 light years) to our Sun. The Luyten’s red dwarf star is orbited by four planets, two of them Earth-like (in mass) and in 4:1 resonance.

Geomorphology and structural geology of Saturnalia Fossae and adjacent structures in the northern hemisphere of Vesta [PDF]
, 2014 : Vesta is a unique, intermediate class of rocky body in the Solar System, between terrestrial planets and small asteroids, because of its size (average radius of ∼263 km) and differentiation, with a crust, mantle and core. Vesta’s low surface gravity (0.
