The latest measurements of the properties of the top quark using the ATLAS experiment are presented. The top quark mass is one of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model. A new measurement using the template method in dilepton events in which the event selection was optimised to achieve the smallest total uncertainty is presented. It is combined with a measurement on a multi-dimensional template fit that can constrain the uncertainties on the energy measurements of jets. In addition, measurements aiming to measure the mass in a well-defined scheme are presented. The top quark pair charge asymmetry is an asymmetry predicted to occur beyond leading-order QCD in the Standard Model, and may be significantly enhanced by the presence of new physics. The tt̄ production charge asymmetry is measured inclusively and differentially using the 8 TeV ATLAS datasets in the dilepton channel and with lepton+jets events including boosted topology. Making use of the large number of top quark pairs collected, we also present measurements of the spin correlation between top and anti-top quarks and discuss their sensitivities to new physics.
