Emission features in the mid-IR domain (7-25 mu m)are quite ubiquitous among large asteroids and therefore offer the potential to uncover their surface composition. However, when comparing these spectra with the actual laboratory spectra of both minerals and meteorites, they do not necessarily match. Here, and in a companion paper by King et...

Context. The store of data collected in public astronomical archives across the world is continuously expanding and, thus, providing a convenient interface for accessing this information is a major concern for ensuring a second life for the data. In this context, Solar System objects (SSOs) are often difficult or even impossible to query, owing...

Context. The first Gaia data release (DR1) delivered a catalogue of astrometry and photometry for over a billion astronomical sources. Within the panoply of methods used for data exploration, visualisation is often the starting point and even the guiding reference for scientific thought. However, this is a volume of data that cannot be...
