The research about Near Earth Objects (NEOs) is a major topic in planetary science. One reason is the potential hazard some of them pose to human beings and, more in general, to life on our planet. Moreover, the physical characterization of NEOs allows us to put constraints on the material accreted in the protoplanetary nebula at different solar

1.IntroductionNASA"s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretations, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) asteroid sample return mission (Lauretta et al., 2017) began operating in proximity to near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu in December 2018. Here we present an analysis of the global photometry of Bennu from measurements by

Introduction: The Solar System group of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) is member of a consortium of astronomical observatories leaded by Deimos Space S.L.U, that presented a proposal to the ESA ITT no. AO/1-9591/18/D/MR "P3-NEO-I - Observational support from collaborating observatories". The objective of this project is to provide

Introduction: The Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa2 made the rendezvous with a C/F-type asteroid Ryugu from June 2018 to November 2019 [1]. After the global mapping and the first touch-down operation, Small Carry-on Impactor (SCI) operation was successfully conducted on 5 April 2019 to make an artificial crater (SCI crater) [2]. This operation aimed to

The presence of massive stars (MSs) in the region close to the Galactic Centre (GC) poses several questions about their origin. The harsh environment of the GC favours specific formation scenarios, each of which should imprint characteristic kinematic features on the MSs. We present a 2D kinematic analysis of MSs in a GC region surrounding Sgr A*
