Context. Asteroid (2579) Spartacus is a small V-type object located in the inner main belt. This object shows spectral characteristics unusual for typical...

The distinction between active and inactive small bodies in the Solar System has become more blended in recent years, with the discovery of objects exhibiting a...

The first known asteroid with the orbit inside that of Venus is 2020 AV 2. This may be the largest member of a new population of small bodies with the aphelion...

Context. Thanks to the Gaia mission, it will be possible to determine the masses of approximately hundreds of large main belt asteroids with very good precision...

Aims: Our aim is to obtain more information about the physical nature of B-type asteroids and extend previous work by studying their physical properties as...

The observation of Near Earth objects (NEOs) allows us to study the physical properties of the smallest size bodies of our Solar System and help impose...

The study of minor planets is motivated both by fundamental science of Solar system origins (some of these bodies contain the most pristine materials from the...

The inner asteroid belt is an important source of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). Dynamical studies of the inner asteroid belt have identified several families...

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