We propose that several short-duration events observed in past stellar occultations by Chiron were produced by ring material. Some similarities between these...

PublicationProperties of slowly rotating asteroids from the Convex Inversion Thermophysical Model
Context. Recent results for asteroid rotation periods from the TESS mission showed how strongly previous studies have underestimated the number of slow rotators...

PublicationRotational fission of trans-Neptunian objects: the case of Haumea
We present several lines of evidence, based on different kinds of observations, and we conclude that it is likely that rotational fission has occurred for a...

PublicationScaling slowly rotating asteroids with stellar occultations
Context. As evidenced by recent survey results, the majority of asteroids are slow rotators (spin periods longer than 12 h), but lack spin and shape models...

PublicationShallow Ultraviolet Transits of WD 1145+017
WD 1145+017 is a unique white dwarf system that has a heavily polluted atmosphere, an infrared excess from a dust disk, numerous broad absorption lines from...

PublicationShape and spin determination of Barbarian asteroids
Context. The so-called Barbarian asteroids share peculiar, but common polarimetric properties, probably related to both their shape and composition. They are...

PublicationSize and albedo distributions of asteroids in cometary orbits using WISE data
Context. Determining whether asteroids in cometary orbits (ACOs) are dormant or extinct comets is relevant for understanding the end-states of comets and the...

PublicationSpectral characterisation of 14 V-type candidate asteroids from the MOVIS catalogue
Most of the currently known basaltic (V-type) asteroids are believed to be past or present members of the Vesta dynamical family. The rising discoveries of V...

PublicationSpectral properties of asteroids in cometary orbits
Aims: In this paper we analyze the spectra of a sample of asteroids in cometary orbits (ACOs) in order to understand the relationship between them, the Jupiter...
