Basalt or not? Near-infrared spectra, surface mineralogical estimates, and meteorite analogs for 33 Vp-type asteroids
Paul S. Hardersen, Vishnu Reddy, Edward Cloutis +5
Investigations of the main asteroid belt and efforts to constrain that population's physical characteristics involve the daunting task of studying hundreds of thousands of small bo…
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…
Solar system science with the Wide-Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST)
B. J. Holler, S. N. Milam, J. M. Bauer +30
We present a community-led assessment of the solar system investigations achievable with NASA's next-generation space telescope, the Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST).…
Vestoids, Part II: The basaltic nature and HED meteorite analogs for eight Vp-type asteroids and their associations with (4) Vesta
Paul S. Hardersen, Vishnu Reddy, Rachel Roberts
Improving constraints on the abundance of basaltic asteroids in the main asteroid belt is necessary for better understanding the thermal and collisional environment in the early so…
The Physical Characterization of the Potentially-Hazardous Asteroid 2004 BL86: A Fragment of a Differentiated Asteroid
Vishnu Reddy, Bruce L. Gary, Juan A. Sanchez +11
The physical characterization of potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) is important for impact hazard assessment and evaluating mitigation options. Close flybys of PHAs provide an…
More chips off of Asteroid (4) Vesta: characterization of eight Vestoids and their HED meteorite analogs
Paul S. Hardersen, Vishnu Reddy, Rachel Roberts +1
This work reports high quality NIR spectra, and their respective interpretations, for eight Vp type asteroids, as defined by Carvano et al. (2010), that were observed at the NASA I…
Olivine-dominated asteroids: Mineralogy and origin
Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Michael S. Kelley +8
Olivine-dominated asteroids are a rare type of objects formed either in nebular processes or through magmatic differentiation. The analysis of meteorite samples suggest that at lea…
Chromospheric mass motions and intrinsic sunspot rotations for NOAA Active Regions 10484, 10486, and 10488 using ISOON data
Paul S. Hardersen, K. S. Balasubramaniam, Svetlana Shkolyar
This work utilizes Improved Solar Observing Optical Network (ISOON: Neidig et al. 2003) continuum (630.2 nm) and Hα (656.2 nm) data to: 1) detect and measure intrinsic sunspot rota…
Composition of Near-Earth Asteroid (4179) Toutatis
Vishnu Reddy, Juan Andreas Sanchez, Michael Gaffey +3
Surface composition of near-Earth asteroid (4179) Toutatis is consistent with an undifferentiated L-chondrite composition. This is inconsistent with early observations that suggest…
Composition of Near-Earth Asteroid 2008 EV5: Potential target for Robotic and Human Exploration
Vishnu Reddy, Lucille Le Corre, Michael Hicks +5
We observed potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) 2008 EV5 in the visible (0.30-0.92 microns) and near-IR (0.75-2.5 microns) wavelengths to determine its surface composition. This a…
