Based on Spitzer Space Telescope observations, we derived diameter and albedo estimates for 2132 asteroids in near-Earth space - the largest dataset of its kind. Our results and data are available online.

TESS is a satellite that observes bright stars to find brightness modulations revealing exoplanet transits - but it also observes a lot of asteroids over a long period of time, which makes it a unique asset for deriving long asteroid rotation periods.

The Gaia mission builds a unique survey of the stars in our Milky Way - but it also observes asteroids that are crossing its field of view. We derive ensemble shape information for different asteroid populations from the first batch of asteroid data from Gaia.

We observed two very small asteroids with the Spitzer Space Telescope to actually measure their physical properties for the first time. The constraints that we were able to place on their properties do not agree with the standard picture of small asteroids.

My first research paper. Using Herschel Space Observatory observations, we investigated the physical properties of 18 Plutinos - small bodies at the outskirts of the Solar System that have orbital properties similar to those of Pluto. What we found? That Pluto is pretty unique…
