Water abundance at the surface of C-complex main-belt asteroids
Pierre Beck, Jolantha Eschrig, Sandra Potin +4
Recently published space-based observations of main-belt asteroids with the AKARI telescope provide a full description of the 3 μm band, related to the presence of OH bearing miner…
Visible and near-infrared reflectance of hyperfine and hyperporous particulate surfaces
Robin Sultana, Olivier Poch, Pierre Beck +2
The composition of Solar System surfaces can be inferred through reflectance and emission spectroscopy, by comparing these observations to laboratory measurements and radiative tra…
Mineralogy, chemistry and composition of organic compounds in the fresh carbonaceous chondrite Mukundpura: CM1 or CM2?
S. Potin, P. Beck, L. Bonal +7
We present here several laboratory analyses performed on the freshly fallen Mukundpura CM chondrite. Results of infrared transmission spectroscopy, thermogravimetry analysis and re…
Low-phase spectral reflectance and equivalent geometric albedo of meteorites powders
Pierre Beck, Bernard Schmitt, Sandra Potin +2
The reflectance of a particulate surface depends on the phase angle at which it is observed. This is true for laboratory measurements on powders of natural materials as well as rem…
On the Origin and Thermal Stability of Arrokoths and Plutos Ices
C. M. Lisse, L. A. Young, D. P. Cruikshank +30
We discuss in a thermodynamic, geologically empirical way the long-term nature of the stable majority ices that could be present in Kuiper Belt Object 2014 MU69 after its 4.6 Gyr r…
Modeling Pluto's Minimum Pressure: Implications for Haze Production
Perianne E. Johnson, Leslie A. Young, Silvia Protopapa +6
Pluto has a heterogeneous surface, despite a global haze deposition rate of ~1 micrometer per orbit (Cheng et al., 2017; Grundy et al., 2018). While there could be spatial variatio…
