Asteroid-Meteoroid Complexes
Toshihiro Kasuga, David Jewitt
This is an overview of recent research on meteors and the parent bodies from which they are produced. While many meteor showers result from material ejected by comets, two out of t…
Extra-Terrestrial Meteors
Apostolos Christou, Jeremie Vaubaillon, Paul Withers +2
All planets and satellites of our solar system are subject to a continuous rain of material, ranging in size from specks of dust to objects the size of boulders. Upon impact, these…
The common origin of family and non-family asteroids
Stanley F. Dermott, Apostolos A. Christou, Dan Li +2
All asteroids are currently classified as either family, originating from the disruption of known bodies, or non-family. An outstanding question is the origin of these non-family a…
Composition and origin of L5 Trojan asteroids of Mars: Insights from spectroscopy
Apostolos A. Christou, Galin Borisov, Aldo Dell'Oro +2
We investigate the mineralogy of L5 Martian Trojan asteroids via reflectance spectroscopy, in particular (101429) 1998 $\mbox{VF}_{31}$, the only L5 Trojan that does not belong to…
Polarimetric analysis of STEREO observations of sungrazing Kreutz comet C/2010 E6 (STEREO)
Rok Nežič, Stefano Bagnulo, Geraint H. Jones +2
Twin STEREO spacecraft pre-perihelion photometric and polarimetric observations of the sungrazing Kreutz comet C/2010 E6 (STEREO) in March 2010 at heliocentric distances $3-28~R_{\…
Capture of satellites during planetary encounters A case study of the Neptunian moons Triton and Nereid
Daohai Li, Anders Johansen, Alexander J. Mustill +2
Single-binary scattering may lead to an exchange where the single object captures a component of the binary, forming a new binary. This has been well studied in encounters between…
