New gravity field of comet 67P/C-G based on Rosetta's Doppler and optical data
Julien Laurent-Varin, Théo James, Jean-Charles Marty +3
We provide a new gravity field of Comet 67P-C/G up to degree 4. We detect mass heterogeneity in the comet nucleus. The loss of mass is restimated at 0.28\% of the comet's total mas…
Successful Kinetic Impact into an Asteroid for Planetary Defense
R. Terik Daly, Carolyn M. Ernst, Olivier S. Barnouin +98
While no known asteroid poses a threat to Earth for at least the next century, the catalog of near-Earth asteroids is incomplete for objects whose impacts would produce regional de…
Internal rubble properties of asteroid (101955) Bennu
P. Tricarico, D. J. Scheeres, A. S. French +24
Exploration of asteroid (101955) Bennu by the OSIRIS-REx mission has provided an in-depth look at this rubble-pile near-Earth asteroid. In particular, the measured gravity field an…
Gravitational slopes, geomorphology, and material strengths of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from OSIRIS observations
O. Groussin, L. Jorda, A. -T. Auger +49
We study the link between gravitational slopes and the surface morphology on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and provide constraints on the mechanical properties of…
Olivine or Impact Melt: Nature of the "Orange" Material on Vesta from Dawn
Lucille Le Corre, Vishnu Reddy, Nico Schmedemann +18
NASA's Dawn mission observed a great variety of colored terrains on asteroid (4) Vesta during its survey with the Framing Camera (FC). Here we present a detailed study of the orang…
Lithologic Mapping of HED Terrains on Vesta using Dawn Framing Camera Color Data
Guneshwar Thangjam, Vishnu Reddy, Lucille Le Corre +8
The surface composition of Vesta, the most massive intact basaltic object in the asteroid belt, is interesting because it provides us with an insight into magmatic differentiation…
Delivery of Dark Material to Vesta via Carbonaceous Chondritic Impacts
Vishnu Reddy, Lucille Le Corre, David P. O'Brien +22
NASA's Dawn spacecraft observations of asteroid (4) Vesta reveal a surface with the highest albedo and color variation of any asteroid we have observed so far. Terrains rich in low…
