Connecting Asteroids and Meteorites with visible and near-infrared spectroscopy

Francesca E. DeMeo, Brian J. Burt, Michaël Marsset +12

We identify spectral similarities between asteroids and meteorites. We identify spectral matches between 500 asteroid spectra and over 1,000 samples of RELAB meteorite spectra over…

Twenty years of SpeX: Accuracy limits of spectral slope measurements in asteroid spectroscopy

Michael Marsset, Francesca E. DeMeo, Richard P. Binzel +8

We examined two decades of SpeX/NASA Infrared Telescope Facility observations from the Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (SMASS) and the MIT-Hawaii Near-Earth Object Sp…

Compositional distributions and evolutionary processes for the near-Earth object population: Results from the MIT-Hawaii Near-Earth Object Spectroscopic Survey (MITHNEOS

Binzel R. P., DeMeo F. E., Turtelboom E. V. +19

We report measured spectral properties for more than 1000 NEOs, representing>5% of the currently discovered population. Thermal flux detected below 2.5 μm allows us to make albedo…

Olivine-dominated A-type asteroids in the Main Belt: Distribution, Abundance and Relation to Families

Francesca E. DeMeo, David Polishook, Benoit Carry +5

Differentiated asteroids are rare in the main asteroid belt despite evidence for ~100 distinct differentiated bodies in the meteorite record. We have sought to understand why so fe…

Surface Composition of (99942) Apophis

Vishnu Reddy, Juan Sanchez, Roberto Furfaro +6

On April 13, 2029, near-Earth asteroid (NEA) (99942) Apophis will pass at a distance of 6 Earth radii from Earth. This event will provide researchers with a unique opportunity to s…

Mineralogy and Surface Composition of Asteroids

Vishnu Reddy, Tasha L. Dunn, Cristina A. Thomas +2

Methods to constrain the surface mineralogy of asteroids have seen considerable development during the last decade with advancement in laboratory spectral calibrations and validati…

A Spectroscopic Comparison of HED Meteorites and V-type Asteroids in the Inner Main Belt

Nicholas Moskovitz, Mark Willman, Thomas Burbine +2

V-type asteroids in the inner Main Belt (a < 2.5 AU) and the HED meteorites are thought to be genetically related to one another as collisional fragments from the surface of the la…
