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…

The Thermophysical Properties of the Bagnold Dunes, Mars: Ground-truthing Orbital Data

Christopher S. Edwards, Sylvain Piqueux, Victoria E. Hamilton +7

In this work, we compare the thermophysical properties and particle sizes derived from the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover's Ground Temperature Sensor (GTS) of the Bagnold dune…

The compositional diversity of non-Vesta basaltic asteroids

Thomas B. Leith, Nicholas A. Moskovitz, Rhiannon G. Mayne +5

We present near-infrared (0.78-2.45 μm) reflectance spectra for nine middle and outer main belt (a > 2.5 AU) basaltic asteroids. Three of these objects are spectrally distinct from…

Detection of Rotational Spectral Variation on the M-type asteroid (16) Psyche

Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Michael K. Shepard +6

The asteroid (16) Psyche is of scientific interest because it contains ~ 1% of the total mass of the asteroid belt and is thought to be the remnant metallic core of a protoplanet.…

VLBI-Gaia offsets favor parsec-scale jet direction in Active Galactic Nuclei

Y. Y. Kovalev, L. Petrov, A. V. Plavin

The data release 1 (DR1) of milliarcsecond-scale accurate optical positions of stars and galaxies was recently published by the space mission Gaia. We study the offsets of highly a…
