Context. Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that may evolve into impactors deserve detailed threat
assessment studies. Early physical characterization of a would-be impactor may help in …

In the framework of the visible NEAs observations survey (ViNOS) that uses several
telescopes at the Canary Islands observatories since 2018, we observed two superfast …

In this work, we employ a soft-sphere discrete element method with a cohesion
implementation to model the dynamical process of sub-km-sized cohesive rubble piles …

Superfast rotators (SFRs) are small solar system objects that rotate faster than generally
possible for a cohesionless rubble pile. Their rotational characteristics allow us to make …

Rotations of asteroids have been set and altered by several processes since their formation.
In the case of the near-Earth objects (NEOs), the rotational states are significantly affected by …

SPECULOOS (Search for habitable Planets EClipsing ULtra-cOOl Stars) aims to perform a
transit search on the nearest (< 40 pc) ultracool (< 3000K) dwarf stars. The project's main …

Context. The Arjuna asteroid belt is loosely defined as a diverse group of small asteroids
that follow dynamically cold, Earth-like orbits. Most of them are not actively engaged in …

Light-curve inversion is an established technique in determining the shape and spin states
of an asteroid. However, the front part of the processing pipeline, which recovers the spin …

Context. The Arjuna asteroid belt is loosely defined as a diverse group of small asteroids
that follow dynamically cold, Earth-like orbits. Most of them are not actively engaged in …

In recent years it has become clear that the physical properties of Solar System minor bodies
are extremely important in tracing not just their formation and evolution but also the major …
