Widely distributed exogenic materials of varying compositions and morphologies on asteroid (101955) Bennu
Eri Tatsumi, Marcel Popescu, Humberto Campins +8
Using the multi-band imager MapCam onboard the OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft, we identified 77 i…
Using artificial neural networks to improve photometric modeling in airless bodies
J. L. Rizos, A. Asensio-Ramos, D. R. Golish +6
Relevant information about physical properties of the surface of airless bodies such as porosity, particle size, or roughness can be inferred knowing the dependence of the brightne…
Bennu's global surface and two candidate sample sites characterized by spectral clustering of OSIRIS-REx multispectral images
J. L. Rizos, J. de Leon, J. Licandro +9
The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft encountered the asteroid (101955) Bennu on December 3, 2018, and has since acquired extensive data from the payload of scientific instruments on board. In…
Overcoming the Challenges Associated with Image-based Mapping of Small Bodies in Preparation for the OSIRIS-REx Mission to (101955) Bennu
D. N. DellaGiustina, C. A. Bennett, K. Becker +38
The OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission is the third mission in NASA's New Frontiers Program and is the first U.S. mission to return samples from an asteroid to Earth. The mo…
Spectral variability on primitive asteroids of the Themis and Beagle families: space weathering effects or parent body heterogeneity?
S. Fornasier, C. Lantz, D. Perna +3
Themis is an old and statistically robust asteroid family populating the outer main belt, and resulting from a catastrophic collision that took place 2.51.0 Gyr ago. Within th…
Near-infrared spectroscopy of 1999 JU3, the target of the Hayabusa 2 mission
N. Pinilla-Alonso, V. Lorenzi, H. Campins +2
Context. Primitive asteroids contain complex organic material and ices relevant to the origin of life on Earth. These types of asteroids are the target of several-sample return mis…
