According to current plans of ESA, Gaia will be launched in 2011. With a systematic survey of the whole sky down to magnitude V = 20, Gaia will provide a fundamental contribution in practically all fields of modern Astrophysics. In particular, Gaia will be also a major milestone in the history of asteroid science. Based on its unprecedented...

We present the results of a campaign of polarimetric observations of small asteroids belonging to the Karin and Koronis families, carried out at the ESO Cerro Paranal Observatory using the VLT-Kueyen 8-meter telescope. The Karin family is known to be very young, having likely been produced by the disruption of an original member of the Koronis...

Context. Sparse photometric data can be used to determine the spin properties and infer information about the shapes of asteroids. The algorithm adopted for the inversion of Gaia photometric data assumes, for the sake of simplicity and to minimize CPU execution time, that the objects have triaxial ellipsoid shapes. In the past, this algorithm...

Here we present the first Gaia spectroscopic observations of asteroids. These data will be used to identify the composition of asteroids. Gaia will obtain the largest spectroscopic survey of the Main asteroid Belt.
