Impact disruption of Bjurböle porous chondritic projectile

Tomas Kohout, Maurizio Pajola, Assi-Johanna Soini +10

The ~200 m/s impact of a single 400-kg Bjurböle L/LL ordinary chondrite meteorite onto sea ice resulted in the catastrophic disruption of the projectile. This resulted in a signifi…

(433) Eros and (25143) Itokawa surface properties from reflectance spectra

David Korda, Tomáš Kohout, Kateřina Flanderová +2

Context. Upcoming space missions will provide us with surface-resolved NEA reflectance spectra. Neural networks are useful tools for analysing reflectance spectra and determining m…

Successful Kinetic Impact into an Asteroid for Planetary Defense

R. Terik Daly, Carolyn M. Ernst, Olivier S. Barnouin +98

While no known asteroid poses a threat to Earth for at least the next century, the catalog of near-Earth asteroids is incomplete for objects whose impacts would produce regional de…

Ejecta from the DART-produced active asteroid Dimorphos

Jian-Yang Li, Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Tony L. Farnham +61

Some active asteroids have been proposed to be the result of impact events. Because active asteroids are generally discovered serendipitously only after their tail formation, the p…

Neural network for determining an asteroid mineral composition from reflectance spectra

David Korda, Antti Penttilä, Arto Klami +1

Chemical and mineral compositions of asteroids reflect the formation and history of our Solar System. This knowledge is also important for planetary defence and in-space resource u…

Insight into the Distribution of High-pressure Shock Metamorphism in Rubble-pile Asteroids

Nicole Güldemeister, Juulia-Gabrielle Moreau, Tomas Kohout +2

Shock metamorphism in ordinary chondrites allows for reconstructing impact events between asteroids in the main asteroid belt. Shock-darkening of ordinary chondrites occurs at the…
