  • Polarimetric and Photometric Observations of Neas with the 1.6M Pirka Telescope
    PPS03-P17 Japan Geoscience Union Meeting 2018 Polarimetric and Photometric observations of NEAs with the 1.6m Pirka Telescope *Ryo Okazaki1, Tomohiko Sekiguchi1, Akari Kamada1, Masateru Ishiguro2, Hiroyuki Naito3, Masataka Imai4, Tatsuharu Ono4 1. Hokkaido University of Education, 2. Seoul National University, 3. Nayoro Observatory, 4. Hokkaido University Polarimetric observations of 3 near-Earth asteroids, 2000 PD3, 2012 TC4 and (3200) Phaethon, were carried out in 2017 using the 1.6m Pirka telescope at the Nayoro Observatory, Hokkaido, as well as BVRIphotometric color observations were conducted for 2000 PD3. Polarimetry is a useful method for investigating asteroids’ physical properties such as the albedo, regolith particle size and taxonomy of asteroids. In general, Pr (the linear polarization degree) exhibits a strong dependence on the phase angle (Sun-Target-Observer’s angle, α). 2000 PD3 In order to understand Pmax (maximum Polarization degree) , we attempted to obtain polarimetric data at different phase angles (α=22°-120°). A geometric albedo of pv=0.26±0.06% were derived from a limited αrange ( 25°-84°) which is in good agreement with that of S-type asteroids. BVRI photometric data (B-V=0.132±0.002mag,V-R=0.114±0.002mag,V-I=0.180±0.002mag) supports S-type classification. 2012 TC4 In October 2017, 2012 TC4 approached to the Earth at about 50,000 km of the closest distance. A fast rotation period about 0.2 hours (Ryan and Ryan, 2017) indicates a monolithic suraface layer which is not covered with a rubble pile. The liner polarization Pr=5.62±5.26% (α=34°) in the R-band is in close accord with that of C-type asteroids, although October run was performed under bad weather.

  • Near-Infrared Observations of Active Asteroid (3200) Phaethon Reveal No Evidence for Hydration ✉ Driss Takir 1,7 , Theodore Kareta 2, Joshua P
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-15637-7 OPEN Near-infrared observations of active asteroid (3200) Phaethon reveal no evidence for hydration ✉ Driss Takir 1,7 , Theodore Kareta 2, Joshua P. Emery3, Josef Hanuš 4, Vishnu Reddy2, Ellen S. Howell2, Andrew S. Rivkin5 & Tomoko Arai6 Asteroid (3200) Phaethon is an active near-Earth asteroid and the parent body of the Geminid Meteor Shower. Because of its small perihelion distance, Phaethon’s surface reaches 1234567890():,; temperatures sufficient to destabilize hydrated materials. We conducted rotationally resolved spectroscopic observations of this asteroid, mostly covering the northern hemisphere and the equatorial region, beyond 2.5-µm to search for evidence of hydration on its surface. Here we show that the observed part of Phaethon does not exhibit the 3-µm hydrated mineral absorption (within 2σ). These observations suggest that Phaethon’s modern activity is not due to volatile sublimation or devolatilization of phyllosilicates on its surface. It is possible that the observed part of Phaethon was originally hydrated and has since lost volatiles from its surface via dehydration, supporting its connection to the Pallas family, or it was formed from anhydrous material. 1 JETS/ARES, NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX 77058-3696, USA. 2 Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721- 0092, USA. 3 Department of Astronomy and Planetary Sciences, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011, USA. 4 Institute of Astronomy, Charles University, CZ-18000 Prague 8, Czech Republic. 5 Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, MD 20273, USA. 6 Planetary Exploration Research Center, Chiba Institute of Technology, Narashino, Japan.

Busch (SETI), Jean-Luc Margot, Sanjana Prabhu Desai (UCLA), Agata Rozek˙ (U. Kent), Mary L. Hinkle (UCF), Michael K. Shepard (Bloomsburg U.), and Christopher Magri (U. Maine) Summary We propose the continuation of the long-running project R3037 to physically and dynamically characterize the population of near-Earth asteroids with the Arecibo S-band (2380 MHz; 12.6 cm) planetary radar system. The objectives of project R3037 are to: (1) collect high-resolution radar images of and (2) report ultra-precise radar astrometry for the strongest predicted radar targets for the 2020 calendar year plus early January 2021. Such images will be used for three-dimensional shape modeling as the data sets allow. These observations will be carried out as part of the NASA- funded Arecibo planetary radar program, Grant No. 80NSSC19K0523, to PI Anne Virkki (Arecibo Observatory, University of Central Florida) with Patrick Taylor as Institutional PI at the Lunar and Planetary Institute (Universities Space Research Association). Background Radar is arguably the most powerful Earth-based technique for post-discovery physical and dynamical characterization of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) and plays a crucial role in the nation’s planetary defense initiatives led through the NASA Planetary Defense Coordination Office.

In this work, we studied the orbital evolution of 120 asteroid clones and the nominal up to 5 Megayears (Myr) in the future using Swift integrator package with and without the Yarkovsky effect inclusion. At the end of orbital integration with both integrators, we found as many as 17 asteroid clones end their lives as Earth impactor. The prediction of maximum semimajor axis drift for this subkilometer-sized asteroid from diurnal and seasonal variants of Yarkovsky effect was 9.0×10-3 AU/Myr and 2.6×10-4 AU/Myr, respectively. By using the MOID (Minimum Orbital Intersection Distance) data set calculated from our integrators of entire clones and nominal asteroids, we obtained the value of impact rate with the Earth of 2.35×10-7 per year (with Yarkovsky effect) and 2.37×10-7 per year (without Yarkovsky effect), which corresponds to a mean lifetime of 4.25 Myr and 4.22 Myr, respectively.

We find 87 reliable detections after filtering for the signal-to-noise ratio of the Yarkovsky drift esti- mate and making sure the estimate is compatible with the physical properties of the analyzed object. Furthermore, we find a list of 24 marginally significant detec- tions, for which future astrometry could result in a Yarkovsky detection. A further outcome of the filtering procedure is a list of detections that we consider spurious because unrealistic or not explicable with the Yarkovsky effect. Among the smallest asteroids of our sample, we determined four detections of solar radiation pressure, in addition to the Yarkovsky effect. As the data volume increases in the near fu- ture, our goal is to develop methods to generate very long lists of asteroids with reliably detected Yarkovsky effect, with limited amounts of case by case specific adjustments.

These datasets were compiled from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s (JPL) Small-Body Database (SBDB) and NASA’s Planetary Data Service (PDS). These datasets provide insights into the characteristics, classifications, and abundance of small-bodies in the solar system, as well as their relationships to more prominent bodies. OpenSpace: Datasets for Asteroids and Comets 2 Part 1: Visualization Settings To load the Asteroids scene in OpenSpace, load the OpenSpace Launcher and select “asteroids” from the drop-down menu for “Scene.” Then launch OpenSpace normally. The Asteroids package is a big dataset, so it can take a few hours to load the first time even on very powerful machines and good internet connections. After a couple of times opening the program with this scene, it should take less time. If you are having trouble loading the scene, check the OpenSpace Wiki or the OpenSpace Support Slack for information and assistance.
