Colors and Dynamics of a Near-Sun Orbital Asteroid Family: 2021 PH27 and 2025 GN1

We observed the dynamically similar near-Sun asteroids 2021 PH27 and 2025 GN1 for their optical colors. These objects have the lowest known semimajor axes of any asteroids. 2021 PH27 has the largest general relativistic effects of any known solar system object. The small semimajor axis and very clos...
