Context. Near-Earth asteroid-comet transition object 107P/ (4015) Wilson-Harrington is a possible target of the joint European Space Agency (ESA) and Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)...
Spitzer Observations of Spacecraft Target 162173 (1999 JU3) (2009)
Campins, H., Emery, J. P., Kelley, M., Fernandez, Y., Licandro, J., Delbo, M., ...
Near-Earth asteroid 162173 (1999 JU3) is the primary target of the Hayabusa-2 sample return mission, and a potential target of the Marco Polo sample return mission. Earth-based studies of this object...
Asteroid occultations today and tomorrow: toward the GAIA era (2008)
Context: Observation of star occultations is a powerful tool to determine shapes and sizes of asteroids. This is key information necessary for studying the evolution of the asteroid belt and to...
Life on the fast lane: the burst mode at the VLT at present and in the future (2007)
Richichi, A., Fors, O., Mason, E., Delbo, M., Stegmaier, J., Finger, G.
The recent implementation of the high-speed burst mode at the ISAAC instrument on UT1, and its propagation to other ESO instruments, has opened the door to observational capabilities which hold the...

Thermal Properties of (25143) Itokawa (2004)
Mueller, M., Delbo, M., Kaasalainen, M., Di Martino, M., Bus, S. J., Harris, A. W.
Keck observations of near-Earth asteroids in the thermal infrared (2003)
Delbo, M., Harris, A. W., Binzel, R. P., Pravec, P., Davies, J. K.
We present the results of thermal-infrared observations of 20 near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) obtained in the period March 2000–February 2002 with the 10-m Keck-I telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The...
We review the physical principles on which asteroid thermal models are based and their application in the derivation of asteroid sizes and albedos. In particular, the use of simple thermal models to...
Exploring the Comet Component Within the Near-Earth Object Population (2002)
Binzel, R.P., Stuart, J.S., Rivkin, A.S., Delbo, M., Harris, A.W., Harris, A.W., ...
Spectral and Albedo Properties of the Near-Earth Object Population (2002)

Surveying Near-Earth Asteroids in the Thermal Infrared (2002)
Delbo, M., Harris, A. W., Binzel, R., Di Martino, M., Davies, J.K., Pravec, P.
A new method to estimate the size and the surface temperature distribution of asteroids (2002)
Among the most important physical parameters of asteroids are their size and albedo. The techniques currently used to determine these parameters from infrared and visible observations are based on...
Visible to Thermal-Infrared Spectrophotometry of a Possible Inactive Cometary Nucleus (2001)
Harris, A. W., Delbo, M., Binzel, R. P., Davies, J. K., Roberts, J., Tholen, D. J., ...
LD31 is one of the few objects with retrograde orbits listed in the Minor Planet Catalog and thsu designated as asteroids rather than comets. Observations of (20461) 1999 LD31 made in March 2000 with...
