Systematic Uncertainties in Rocky Exoplanet Reflected Light from Incomplete Laboratory BRDF Measurements

Leonardos Gkouvelis, Michael K. Shepard, Paul Helfenstein +2

The first observations of short-period rocky exoplanets have initiated the era of terrestrial exoplanet characterization. The interpretation of these observations relies on forward…

The Heterogeneous Surface of Asteroid (16) Psyche

Saverio Cambioni, Katherine de Kleer, Michael Shepard

Main-belt asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest M-type asteroid, a class of object classically thought to be the metal cores of differentiated planetesimals and the parent bodies of…

Asteroid 16 Psyche: Shape, Features, and Global Map

Michael K. Shepard, Katherine de Kleer, Saverio Cambioni +9

We develop a shape model of asteroid 16 Psyche using observations acquired in a wide range of wavelengths: Arecibo S-band delay-Doppler imaging, Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALM…

The Surface of (16) Psyche from Thermal Emission and Polarization Mapping

Katherine de Kleer, Saverio Cambioni, Michael Shepard

The asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest of the M-type asteroids, which have been hypothesized to be the cores of disrupted planetesimals and the parent bodies of the iron meteorite…

Detection of Rotational Spectral Variation on the M-type asteroid (16) Psyche

Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Michael K. Shepard +6

The asteroid (16) Psyche is of scientific interest because it contains ~ 1% of the total mass of the asteroid belt and is thought to be the remnant metallic core of a protoplanet.…

Detection of Water and/or Hydroxyl on Asteroid (16) Psyche

Driss Takir, Vishnu Reddy, Juan Sanchez +2

In order to search for evidence of hydration on M-type asteroid (16) Psyche, we observed this object in the 3 micron spectral region using the long-wavelength cross-dispersed (LXD:…

The Composition of M-type asteroids II: Synthesis of spectroscopic and radar observations

J. R. Neeley, B. E. Clark, M. E. Ockert-Bell +5

This work updates and expands on results of our long-term radar-driven observational campaign of main-belt asteroids (MBAs) focused on Bus-DeMeo Xc- and Xk-type objects (Tholen X a…
