Context. The classification of the minor bodies of the Solar System based on observables
has been continuously developed and iterated over the past 40 yr. While prior iterations …

In this work we identify spectral similarities between asteroids and meteorites. Using spectral
features such as absorption bands and spectral curvature, we identify spectral matches …

We present the results of the first-ever visible spectroscopic survey fully dedicated to the
small (absolute magnitude H≥ 20) near-Earth asteroid (NEA) population. Observations …

The smallest member of the Didymos binary near-Earth object system (Dimorphos) is the
target of the DART/LICIACube mission, the first attempt to change the orbit of another …

The identification of meteorite parent bodies provides the context for understanding
planetesimal formation and evolution as well as the key Solar System events they have …

Space weathering (SW) processes affect airless bodies in the solar system. These
processes include irradiation by solar ion populations (solar wind, flares, solar-energetic …

We present the results of observations of asteroid (248370) QN173 obtained during July
2021–January 2022 with three telescopes. Our analysis revealed the presence of the dust …

Aims. We carried out a spectroscopic survey in order to investigate the composition of 64
asteroids of the inner main belt, which are leftovers of the original planetesimals of our Solar …

Context. The NASA Lucy mission is designed to collect data that will be used to study the
very interesting population of Jupiter Trojans, which are considered to be time capsules from …

Context. Multifilter photometry from large sky surveys is commonly used to assign asteroid
taxonomic types and study various problems in planetary science. To maximize the science …
