The New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an international collaboration to build and operate a 4m diameter fully robotic telescope. The telescope will take advantage of the superb atmospheric conditions at the Observatory of the Roque de los Muchachos (ORM). In conjunction with a large aperture, entirely robotic operation, quick response, and a set of

LIN 358 and SMC N73 are two symbiotic binaries in the halo of the Small Magellanic Cloud, each composed of a hot white dwarf accreting from a cool giant companion. In this work, we characterize these systems using a combination of spectral energy distribution (SED)-fitting to the extant photometric data spanning a broad wavelength range (X-ray

Despite the observed signs of large impacts on the surface of Ceres, there is no confirmed collisional family associated with this dwarf planet. Carruba et al. (2016) carried out a dynamical study in the `pristine region' of the main asteroid belt and proposed a sample of 156 asteroids as candidates to be members of a Ceres' collisional family. Our

Comets are primitive objects which formed in the outer parts of the proto-planetary disk, beyond the snow line. They can provide key information about the origins of our Solar System and its primordial nebula. The latest interstellar visitor [1], comet 2I/Borisov (initially designated C/2019 Q4), has given us the chance to have a probe from this

The near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) represent excellent scientific opportunities to study the dynamical and physical properties of small bodies of the Solar System. Moreover, the celestial bodies with sizes lower than one km can be studied using a variety of techniques, thanks to the fact that they come close to Earth orbit.We report the preliminary

Through numerical modeling, Nesvorny et al. (2008) showed that asteroids can migrate due to Yarkovsky drift and resonances to outside of the boundaries of the Vesta family. In particular, they found that objects which end up in the scattered resonances region (so-called Cell I, defined by orbital elements 2.2 AU < a < 2.3 AU, 0.05 < e < 0.2, 0 < i
