Scientific paper

We present the future contributions to asteroid and minor bodies science with the LMT. The main two observational advantages of the LMT over current telescopes are the high sensitivity and high speed mapping. In asteroid and minor bodies science the high sensitivity will allow us to observe a large number of Near Earth Objects and main belt asteroids, plus Centaurs and Kuiper Belt Objects in the outer solar system. The LMT facility will also give critical observational support for the upcoming asteroid space missions. Simultaneous observations with the LMT and the GTC will be very important to understand the thermal behavior on and under the surface of minor bodies.
