Preparation of detailed night schedule prior to an observing run can be tedious, especially for solar system objects which coordinates are epoch-dependent. We aim at providing the community with a Web service compliant with Virtual Observatory (VO) standards, to create tables of observing conditions, together with airmass and sky charts, for an...

We aim at studying the dynamical system of the asteroid (379) Huenna and its satellite, for which a discrepancy between its predicted and observed position was reported by DeMeo et al. (2011, Icarus, 212). We compile all the available images of the system acquired with large ground-based telescopes equipped with adaptive-optics fed camera....

Context. The sample of Solar system objects has dramatically increased over the last decade. The number of measured properties (e.g., diameter, taxonomy, rotation period, thermal inertia, etc.) has expanded even more quickly. However, this wealth of information is spread over a myriad of studies, with different designations reported per object....

All the fields of the extended space mission Kepler /K2 are located within the ecliptic. Many solar system objects thus cross the K2 stellar masks on a regular basis. We aim at providing to the entire community a simple tool to search and identify solar system objects serendipitously observed by Kepler. The SkyBoT service hosted at IMCCE...

We present the first attempt to characterize the distribution of taxonomic class among the population of binary asteroids (15 per cent of all small asteroids). For that, an analysis of 0.8-2.5 μm near-infrared spectra obtained with the SpeX instrument on the NASA/IRTF is presented. Taxonomic class and meteorite analogue is determined for each...

Gaia, the billion of stars surveyor, also regularly observe small bodies from our Solar System. Among those, some are not known at the time of their observation by Gaia. Within the Data Processing and Analysis Consortium, a daily processing as been set in place to release information on when, where, and how to observe these potential...

The aim of the LUCAS program is to observe chlorophyll and atmospheric molecules in the Earthshine spectrum in order to prepare the detection of life in terrestrial extrasolar planets to be discovered. Actually, observations from Antarctica offer a unique possibility to study the variations of Earthshine spectrum during Earth rotation while...

Mutual event observations between the two components of 90 Antiope were carried out in 2007-2008. The pole position was refined to λ = 199.5 ± 0.5° and β = 39.8 ± 5° in J2000 ecliptic coordinates, leaving intact the physical solution for the components, assimilated to two perfect Roche ellipsoids, and derived after the 2005 mutual event season...
