Episodic Ejection from Active Asteroid 311P/PANSTARRS
We examine the development of the active asteroid 311P/PANSTARRS (formerly, 2013 P5) in the period from 2013 September to 2014 February using high resolution images from the Hubble Space Telescope. This multi-tailed object is characterized by a single, reddish nucleus of absolute magnitudeH ≥ 18.98±0.10, corresponding to an equal-area sphere of radius≤200±20 m (for assumed geometric albedo 0.29...
متن کاملNew findings on asteroid spin-vector distributions
The number of known spin vectors of main belt and near-Earth asteroids is regularly growing, including new objects, and updating the estimates concerning known cases, with the aid of new observations and of improved observational techniques. A reliable statistical analysis of the spin vectors is now possible. In general the poles (both for MB bodies and for NEAs) are not isotropically distribut...
متن کاملNucleus and Mass Loss from Active Asteroid 313p/gibbs
We present Hubble Space Telescope observations of active asteroid 313P/Gibbs (formerly P/2014 S4) taken over the five month interval from 2014 October to 2015 March. This object has been recurrently active near perihelion (at 2.4 AU) in two different orbits, a property that is naturally explained by the sublimation of near surface ice but which is difficult to reconcile with other activity mech...
متن کاملAsteroid (99942) Apophis: new predictions of Earth encounters for this potentially hazardous asteroid
Context. The potentially hazardous asteroid (99942) Apophis, previously designated 2004 MN4, is emblematic of the study of asteroids that could impact the Earth in the near future. Orbit monitoring and error propagation analysis are mandatory to predict the probability of an impact and, furthermore, its possible mitigation. Several aspects for this prediction have to be investigated, in particu...
