Size Constraints for the Pre-atmospheric Parent Bodies of Ordinary Chondrites
Juan A. Sanchez, David C. Cantillo, Adam Battle +7
The study of S-complex near-Earth objects (NEOs), the parent bodies of ordinary chondrites, has shown that they are dominated by asteroids with LL chondrite-like compositions. This…
Physical Characterization of Moon Impactor 2025-010D
Tanner Campbell, Adam Battle, Bill Gray +4
Renewed interest in lunar exploration is creating a growing population of poorly tracked cislunar objects, some of which will ultimately impact the Moon. The ultimate fate of…
Spectral Effects of Shock Darkening on Ordinary Chondrite and Howardite, Eucrite, and Diogenite meteorites
Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Lucille Le Corre +2
Impacts are the most ubiquitous processes on planetary bodies in our solar system. During these impact events, shock waves can deposit enough energy to produce shock-induced darken…
The population of small near-Earth objects: composition, source regions and rotational properties
Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Audrey Thirouin +7
The study of small (300 m) near-Earth objects (NEOs) is important because they are more closely related than larger objects to the precursors of meteorites that fall on Earth. C…
Grain Size Effects on UV-MIR (0.2-14 micron) Spectra of Carbonaceous Chondrite Groups
David C. Cantillo, Vishnu Reddy, Adam Battle +7
Carbonaceous chondrites are among the most important meteorite types and have played a vital role in deciphering the origin and evolution of our solar system. They have been linked…
Mineralogical Characterization and Phase Angle Study of Two Binary Near-Earth Asteroids, Potential Targets for NASA's Janus Mission
Lucille Le Corre, Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy +5
Ground-based characterization of spacecraft targets prior to mission operations is critical to properly plan and execute measurements. Understanding surface properties, like minera…
Physical Characterization of Near-Earth Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2: Evidence of Shock 1 Darkening/Impact Melt
Adam Battle, Vishnu Reddy, Juan A. Sanchez +3
We conducted photometric and spectroscopic characterization of near-Earth asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 during a close approach to the Earth in April of 2020. Our photometric measureme…
Photometric Characterization and Trajectory Accuracy of Starlink Satellites: Implications for Ground-Based Astronomical Surveys
Grace Halferty, Vishnu Reddy, Tanner Campbell +2
Starlink is a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation operated by Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) which aims to provide global satellite internet access. Thus f…
Physical Characterization of Metal-rich Near-Earth Asteroids 6178 (1986 DA) and 2016 ED85
Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, William F. Bottke +5
Metal-rich near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) represent a small fraction of the NEA population that is mostly dominated by S- and C-type asteroids. Because of this, their identification a…
