Stellar occultation campaigns on Gaia binary candidates produced 33 multi-positive events for 24 asteroids, with four showing binary or contact-binary signatures.
Reports asymmetric heliocentric activity slopes for 103P/Hartley 2 and exponential outburst decay plus flattening phase curves for Chiron from ATLAS, ZTF, and LCO photometry.
Updated shape model of Arrokoth finds significantly larger volume, 2:1 lobe ratio, spherical small lobe and oblate large lobe compared to prior work.
