    Scaling 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...

    Shape 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...

    Size 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...

    Spectral 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...

    Spectral properties of near-Earth objects with low-Jovian Tisserand invariant
    The near-Earth objects with low-Jovian Tisserand invariant (T J) represent about 9 per cent of the known objects orbiting in the near-Earth space, being subject...
