New and updated convex shape models of asteroids based on optical data from a large collaboration network

Abstract

Context. Asteroid modeling efforts in the last decade resulted in a comprehensive dataset of almost 400 convex shape models and their rotation states. These efforts already provided deep insight into physical properties of main-belt asteroids or large collisional families. Going into finer detail (e.g., smaller collisional families, asteroids with sizes ≲20 km) requires knowledge of physical parameters of more objects.
