  • Lunar ephemeris long-term development

    The aim of this study is to develop new analytical series representing lunar coordinates to accuracy compatible with the accuracy of the modern numerical ephemeris of the Moon.
  • Near-Earth asteroids & QSOs close approaches

    We investigated the link between the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) and the dynamical reference frame realized by the ephemerides of the Solar System bodies. We...
  • Lightcurves of 14 NEAs

    We report first results from our extensive survey of the very small (H>21.5mag) near-Earth asteroids. Our aim was to obtain photometric lightcurves for these faint, fast...
  • Lightcurves of 12 NEAs

    Very small asteroids (VSAs) are thought to be the building blocks of larger asteroids and, as such, are interesting to study. Many of these monolithic or deeply fractured...
  • Galilean satellites mutual events in 2009

    Photometry of mutual events between natural satellites has been verified to be a most effective and accurate ground-based method for obtaining accurate astrometric data through...
  • La2010: orbital solution for long term Earth motion

    We present here a new solution for the astronomical computation of the orbital motion of the Earth spanning from 0 to -250Myr. The main improvement with respect to our previous...
  • Colors of minor bodies in outer solar system

    Photometric colours of Minor Bodies in the Outer Solar System (MBOSS). This compilation is based on over 2000 measurement epoch extracted from over 100 articles, and is fairly...
  • Photometry of 8 main belt asteroids

    The shapes and spin states of asteroids observed with photometric techniques can be reconstructed using the lightcurve inversion method. The resultant models can then be...
  • Light curves of Flora region asteroids

    Recent studies have uncovered evidence that the statistical properties of asteroids' physical parameters are a fundamental source of information on the physics of their...
  • R absolute magnitudes of Kuiper Belt objects

    Ever since the very first photometric studies of Centaurs and Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) their visible color distribution has been controversial. This controversy has triggered...
  • Lightcurves of Near-Earth Asteroid 162173 (1999 JU3)

    Near-Earth asteroid (hereafter NEA) 162173 (1999 JU3) is a potential target of two asteroid sample return missions not only because of its accessibility but also because of the...
  • Photometry of 16 Flora family asteroids

    It is known that the Yarkovsky effect moves small asteroids to larger/smaller semimajor axes depending on their prograde/retrograde spins. The YORP effect influences asteroid...
  • Mimas and Enceladus Cassini ISS astrometry

    We provide the Cassini ISS astrometric observations of the Saturnian satellites Mimas and Enceladus. The observations were taken over 6 years. Observation residuals were...
  • Reflectance spectra of 12 Trojans and Hildas

    Hilda asteroids and Jupiter Trojans are two low-albedo (p_v_~0.07) populations for which the Nice model predicts an origin in the primordial Kuiper Belt region. However, recent...
  • Rotational properties of TNOs

    We present results for the short-term variability of Binary Trans-Neptunian Objects (BTNOs). We performed CCD photometric observations using the 3.58m Telescopio Nazionale...
  • Saturnian satellites Cassini ISS astrometry

    We provide astrometric observations of the Saturnian satellites Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione and Rhea from Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) narrow-angle camera (NAC)...
  • Extinction of Titan haze at 3 micron

    The chemical nature of the Titan haze is poorly understood. The investigation carried out by the Cassini-Huygens suite of instruments is bringing new insights into this...
  • Close star encounters

    Stars which pass close to the Sun can perturb the Oort cloud, injecting comets into the inner solar system where they may collide with the Earth. Using van Leeuwen's...
  • Astrometry of the Saturnian satellites 2004-12

    The Cassini spacecraft has been orbiting Saturn since 2004 returning images of satellites with astrometric resolution as high as few hundreds of meters. The images that were...
  • Astrometry of the main satellites of Uranus

    We determine accurate positions of the main satellites of Uranus: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. Positions of Uranus, as derived from those of these satellites,...
