Abstract The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to start the Legacy Survey of Space and
Time (LSST) in early to mid-2025. This multiband wide-field synoptic survey will transform …

Recently, the inner main belt asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh was identified as an additional fly-
by target for the Lucy mission. The heliocentric orbit and approximate absolute magnitude of …

Minimoons are asteroids that become temporarily captured by the Earth–Moon system. We
present the discovery of 2024 PT 5, a minimoon discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial …

The rotational properties of∼ 10-m-scale asteroids are poorly understood with only a few
measurements. Additionally, collisions or thermal recoil can spin their rotations to periods …

Abstract Near-Earth objects (NEOs) that follow horseshoe paths, and approach our planet at
close range and low relative velocity, may undergo mini-moon events in which their …

Long-period comets are planetesimal remnants constraining the environment and volatiles
of the protoplanetary disc. We report the discovery of hyperbolic long-period comet C/2022 …

A taxonomy design methodology is proposed for the classification and dynamic behaviour
representation of the population of asteroids that are temporarily captured in the Earth-Moon …

ABSTRACT Neptunian Trojans (NTs), trans-Neptunian objects in 1: 1 mean-motion
resonance with Neptune, are generally thought to have been captured from the original …

Context. The near-Earth orbital space is shared by natural objects and space debris that can
be temporarily captured in geocentric orbits. Short-term natural satellites are often called …

We observed the episodically active asteroid (6478) Gault in 2020 with multiple telescopes
in Asia and North America and found that it is no longer active after its recent outbursts at the …
