A Machine Learning Approach to Meteor Classification
We use machine learning to develop a framework for classifying meteoroids based on 13 directly observed parameters from the Global Meteor Network. This method adds depth to the $K_{b}$ parameter, which uses only three parameters. We employ a semi-qualitative approach using 28,177 meteor events…

NEO Colors from The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS)
We present spectro-photometric griz colors for 189 near-Earth objects (NEOs) collected by the Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS). Data acquisition involved non-simultaneous multi-band exposures, thus particular attention was given to the influence of rotational lightcurves on the…

Rapid-response characterization of near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 during a Torino Scale 3 alert
On 27 December 2024, near-Earth object (NEO) 2024 YR$_4$ was discovered by the ATLAS survey and identified as a virtual impactor. A few weeks later, it eventually reached level 3 on the Torino Scale and was the first and only asteroid to be ever classified at that level. Here we report an intensive…

Orbital period change of Dimorphos due to the DART kinetic impact
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft successfully performed the first test of a kinetic impactor for asteroid deflection by impacting Dimorphos, the secondary of near-Earth binary asteroid (65803) Didymos, and changing the orbital period of Dimorphos. A change in orbital period of…

Astrometric follow-up of near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 during a Torino scale level 3 alert
The discovery of 2024 YR4 presented the planetary defense community with the most significant impact threat in almost two decades, reaching level 3 on the Torino scale. The community, now mature and well-organized, responded with a global observational effort. Astrometric measurements, forming the…

Ejecta from the DART-produced active asteroid Dimorphos
Some active asteroids have been proposed to be formed as a result of impact events(1). Because active asteroids are generally discovered by chance only after their tails have fully formed, the process of how impact ejecta evolve into a tail has, to our knowledge, not been directly observed. The…

Elliptical ejecta of asteroid Dimorphos is due to its surface curvature
Kinetic deflection is a planetary defense technique delivering spacecraft momentum to a small body to deviate its course from Earth. The deflection efficiency depends on the impactor and target. Among them, the contribution of global curvature was poorly understood. The ejecta plume created by…

Successful kinetic impact into an asteroid for planetary defence
Although no known asteroid poses a threat to Earth for at least the next century, the catalogue of near-Earth asteroids is incomplete for objects whose impacts would produce regional devastation(1,2). Several approaches have been proposed to potentially prevent an asteroid impact with Earth by…
