Chemical and physical properties of cometary dust
Cecile Engrand, Jérémie Lasue, Diane H. Wooden +1
Cometary dust particles are best preserved remnants of the matter present at the onset of the formation of the Solar System. Space missions, telescopic observations and laboratory…
The specific heat of astro-materials: Review of theoretical concepts, materials and techniques
Jens Biele, Matthias Grott, Michael E. Zolensky +2
We provide detailed background, theoretical and practical, on the specific heat cp of minerals and mixtures thereof, 'astro-materials', as well as background information on common…
The impact and recovery of asteroid 2018 LA
Peter Jenniskens, Mohutsiwa Gabadirwe, Qing-Zhu Yin +63
The June 2, 2018, impact of asteroid 2018 LA over Botswana is only the second asteroid detected in space prior to impacting over land. Here, we report on the successful recovery of…
The Sariçiçek howardite fall in Turkey: Source crater of HED meteorites on Vesta and impact risk of Vestoids
Ozan Unsalan, Peter Jenniskens, Qing-Zhu Yin +76
The Sariçiçek howardite meteorite shower consisting of 343 documented stones occurred on 2 September 2015 in Turkey and is the first documented howardite fall. Cosmogenic isotopes…
Cryogenic Cometary Sample Return
Andrew J. Westphal, Larry R. Nittler, Rhonda Stroud +11
Comets likely formed in the outer regions of the protosolar nebula where they incorporated and preserved primitive presolar materials, volatiles resident in the outer disk, and mor…
Volatile Sample Return in the Solar System
Stefanie N. Milam, Jason P. Dworkin, Jamie E. Elsila +17
We advocate for the realization of volatile sample return from various destinations including: small bodies, the Moon, Mars, ocean worlds/satellites, and plumes. As part of recent…
Fine-grained Material Associated with a Large Sulfide returned from Comet 81P/Wild 2
Zack Gainsforth, Andrew J. Westphal, Anna L. Butterworth +10
In a consortium analysis of a large particle captured from the coma of comet 81P/Wild 2 by the Stardust spacecraft, we report the discovery of a field of fine-grained material (FGM…
Asteroid Ryugu Before the Hayabusa2 Encounter
Koji Wada, Matthias Grott, Patrick Michel +31
Asteroid (162173) Ryugu is the target object of Hayabusa2, an asteroid exploration and sample return mission led by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Ground-based observat…
The Future of Stardust Science
A. J. Westphal, J. C. Bridges, D. E. Brownlee +13
Recent observations indicate that >99% of the small bodies in the Solar System reside in its outer reaches --- in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Kuiper Belt bodies are probably th…
