Thermal and Dielectric Properties of Juno's Regolith at One Millimeter Wavelength
Jian-Yang Li, Timothy N. Titus, Arielle Moullet +1
We present the modeling results of the thermal lightcurve of asteroid (3) Juno at the wavelength of = 1.3 mm measured by the Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array. A the…
The Role of Giant Impacts in Planet Formation
Travis S. J. Gabriel, Saverio Cambioni
Planets are expected to conclude their growth through a series of giant impacts: energetic, global events that significantly alter planetary composition and evolution. Computer mod…
Giant Planet Observations in NASA's Planetary Data System
Nancy J. Chanover, James M. Bauer, John J. Blalock +6
While there have been far fewer missions to the outer Solar System than to the inner Solar System, spacecraft destined for the giant planets have conducted a wide range of fundamen…
Compositional layering in Io driven by magmatic segregation and volcanism
Dan C. Spencer, Richard F. Katz, Ian J. Hewitt +2
Magmatic segregation and volcanic eruptions transport tidal heat from Io's interior to its surface. Several observed eruptions appear to be extremely high temperature ( 1600…
Overcoming the Challenges Associated with Image-based Mapping of Small Bodies in Preparation for the OSIRIS-REx Mission to (101955) Bennu
D. N. DellaGiustina, C. A. Bennett, K. Becker +38
The OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission is the third mission in NASA's New Frontiers Program and is the first U.S. mission to return samples from an asteroid to Earth. The mo…
Ground-based Characterization of Hayabusa2 Mission Target Asteroid 162173 Ryugu: Constraining Mineralogical Composition in Preparation for Spacecraft Operations
Lucille Le Corre, Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy +7
Asteroids that are targets of spacecraft missions are interesting because they present us with an opportunity to validate ground-based spectral observations. One such object is nea…
