The paper proposes a statistical test for asteroid surface color heterogeneity from sparse multiband photometry and evaluates its performance and sensitivity to model errors through Monte Carlo simulations of synthetic asteroids.
Stellar occultation campaigns on Gaia binary candidates produced 33 multi-positive events for 24 asteroids, with four showing binary or contact-binary signatures.
Photometric and dynamical analysis of asteroid (300) Geraldina yields a prograde shape model and long-term stability consistent with it being an ancient C-type body.
Multi-technique observations constrain the configuration of the ξ Tau system, detecting orbital oscillations on multiple timescales and suggesting component C is itself a binary.
