Lava Tube Exploration with LunarLeaper
Anna Mittelholz, Simon C. Stähler, Valentin T. Bickel +9
Lunar pits, some of which are interpreted as collapse features into underlying lava tubes, expose otherwise inaccessible stratigraphy and may provide entry points to subsurface voi…
A New Spectral Library for Modeling the Surfaces of Hot, Rocky Exoplanets
Kimberly Paragas, Heather A. Knutson, Renyu Hu +7
JWST's MIRI LRS provides the first opportunity to spectroscopically characterize the surface compositions of close-in terrestrial exoplanets. Models for the bare-rock spectra of th…
Reflection, emission, and polarization properties of surfaces made of hyperfine grains, and implications for the nature of primitive small bodies
Robin Sultana, Olivier Poch, Pierre Beck +8
There are various indications that the most primitive small bodies (P, D-type asteroids, comets) have surfaces made of intimate mixtures of opaque minerals and other components (si…
Comparison of space weathering spectral changes induced by solar wind and micrometeoroid impacts using ion- and femtosecond-laser-irradiated olivine and pyroxene
K. Chrbolková, R. Brunetto, J. Ďurech +8
Space weathering is a process that changes the surface of airless planetary bodies. Prime space weathering agents are solar wind irradiation and micrometeoroid bombardment. These p…
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…
Experimental constraints on the ordinary chondrite shock darkening caused by asteroid collisions
T. Kohout, E. V. Petrova, G. A. Yakovlev +10
Shock-induced changes in ordinary chondrite meteorites related to impacts or planetary collisions are known to be capable of altering their optical properties. Thus, one can hypoth…
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…
Infra-red reflectance and emissivity spectra of nanodiamonds
A. Maturilli, A. A. Shiryaev, I. I. Kulakova +1
Reflectance and emissivity spectra of nanodiamonds powder were measured in a dedicated setup at temperatures up to 873 K. The spectra are characterised by presence of sharp bands d…
