Global Abiotic Sulfur Cycling on Earth-like Terrestrial Planets
Rafael Rianço-Silva, Javed Akhter Mondal, Matthew A. Pasek +3
Sulfur is a redox active element that may have helped mediate an electron flow that kickstarted life and which presently is an essential element for all life on Earth. Despite curr…
The Discovery and Evolution of a Possible New Epoch of Cometary Activity by the Centaur (2060) Chiron
Matthew M. Dobson, Megan E. Schwamb, Alan Fitzsimmons +24
Centaurs are small Solar System objects on chaotic orbits in the giant planet region, forming an evolutionary continuum with the Kuiper belt objects and Jupiter-family comets. Some…
Close-to-fission dumbbell Jupiter-Trojan (17365) Thymbraeus
B. Carry, P. Descamps, M. Ferrais +11
Every population of small bodies in the Solar system contains a sizable fraction of multiple systems. Among these, the Jupiter Trojans have the lowest number of known binary system…
2021 occultations and transits of Linus orbiting (22) Kalliope: I. Polygonal and `cliptracing' algorithm
M. Brož, J. Ďurech, M. Ferrais +10
The satellite Linus orbiting the main-belt asteroid (22) Kalliope exhibited occultation and transit events in late 2021. A photometric campaign was organized and observations were…
Evidence of surface heterogeneity on active asteroid (3200) Phaethon
Eric MacLennan, Sean Marshall, Mikael Granvik
Thermal infrared emission and thermophysical modeling techniques are powerful tools in deciphering the surface properties of asteroids. The near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon is a…
Recent formation and likely cometary activity of near-Earth asteroid pair 2019 PR2 -- 2019 QR6
Petr Fatka, Nicholas A. Moskovitz, Petr Pravec +13
Asteroid pairs are genetically related asteroids that recently separated (few million years), but still reside on similar heliocentric orbits. A few hundred of these systems hav…
Polarimetric Properties of the Near--Sun Asteroid (155140) 2005 UD in Comparison with Other Asteroids and Meteoritic Samples
Masateru Ishiguro, Yoonsoo P. Bach, Jooyeon Geem +26
The investigation of asteroids near the Sun is important for understanding the final evolutionary stage of primitive solar system objects. A near-Sun asteroid, (155140) 2005 UD, ha…
Asteroid 16 Psyche: Shape, Features, and Global Map
Michael K. Shepard, Katherine de Kleer, Saverio Cambioni +9
We develop a shape model of asteroid 16 Psyche using observations acquired in a wide range of wavelengths: Arecibo S-band delay-Doppler imaging, Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALM…
Habitability Models for Astrobiology
Abel Méndez, Edgard E. Rivera-Valentín, Dirk Schulze-Makuch +31
Habitability has been generally defined as the capability of an environment to support life. Ecologists have been using Habitat Suitability Models (HSMs) for more than four decades…
(6478) Gault: Physical characterization of an active main-belt asteroid
Maxime Devogèle, Marin Ferrais, Emmanuel Jehin +22
In December 2018, the main-belt asteroid (6478)~Gault was reported to display activity. Gault is an asteroid belonging to the Phocaea dynamical family and was not previously known…
Establishing Earth's Minimoon Population through Characterization of Asteroid 2020 CD
Grigori Fedorets, Marco Micheli, Robert Jedicke +20
We report on our detailed characterization of Earth's second known temporary natural satellite, or minimoon, asteroid 2020 CD3. An artificial origin can be ruled out based on its a…
The Equilibrium Temperature of Planets in Elliptical Orbits
Abel Méndez, Edgard G. Rivera-Valentín
There exists a positive correlation between orbital eccentricity and the average stellar flux that planets receive from their parent star. Often, though, it is assumed that the ave…
Asteroid 1566 Icarus's size, shape, orbit, and Yarkovsky drift from radar observations
Adam H. Greenberg, Jean-Luc Margot, Ashok K. Verma +4
Near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 1566 Icarus ( au, , ) made a close approach to Earth in June 2015 at 22 lunar distances (LD). Its detection during the 196…
Physical Characterization of ~2-meter Diameter Near-Earth Asteroid 2015 TC25: A possible boulder from E-type Asteroid (44) Nysa
Vishnu Reddy, Juan A. Sanchez, William F. Bottke +11
Small near-Earth asteroids (>20 meters) are interesting because they are progenitors for meteorites in our terrestrial collection. Crucial to our understanding of the effectiveness…
Re-examining the main asteroid belt as the primary source of ancient lunar craters
David A. Minton, James E. Richardson, Caleb I. Fassett
It has been hypothesized that the impactors that created the majority of the observable craters on the ancient lunar highlands were derived from the main asteroid belt in such a wa…
Radar Observations and the Shape of Near-Earth Asteroid 2008 EV5
Michael W. Busch, Steven J. Ostro, Lance A. M. Benner +10
We observed the near-Earth asteroid 2008 EV5 with the Arecibo and Goldstone planetary radars and the Very Long Baseline Array during December 2008. EV5 rotates retrograde and its o…
