OSIRIS-REx Returned a Pristine Sample of Asteroid Bennu: Takeaways from the Mission's Contamination Control and Knowledge Program
Jason P. Dworkin, Scott A. Sandford, Nicole G. Lunning +81
NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission had the objective of delivering a pristine sample from asteroid (101955) Bennu to Earth for scientific analysis--where "pristine" signifies the absence of…
Volatile depletion in rocky planets as a chemical fingerprint of hybrid accretion
Haiyang S. Wang, Anders Johansen, Ziyan Xu +7
Volatile depletion in rocky planets relative to their host stars is commonplace in both the Solar System and exoplanetary systems, yet the connections between planet formation and…
Physical Analysis of Bennu Samples Reveals Regolith Production by Collisional Disruption on Near-Earth Asteroids
R. -L. Ballouz, A. J. Ryan, R. J. Macke +25
Owing to the extremely low gravity of small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), it has been assumed that impact-generated rock fragments escape into space and thus do not contribute to th…
Asteroid (101955) Bennu in the Laboratory: Properties of the Sample Collected by OSIRIS-REx
Dante S. Lauretta, Harold C. Connolly, Joseph E. Aebersold +50
On 24 September 2023, the NASA OSIRIS-REx mission dropped a capsule to Earth containing approximately 120 g of pristine carbonaceous regolith from Bennu. We describe the delivery a…
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…
The OSIRIS-REx Thermal Emission Spectrometer (OTES) Instrument
P. R. Christensen, V. E. Hamilton, G. L. Mehall +19
The OSIRIS-REx Thermal Emission Spectrometer (OTES) will provide remote measurements of mineralogy and thermophysical properties of Bennu to map its surface, help select the OSIRIS…
OSIRIS-REx Contamination Control Strategy and Implementation
J. P. Dworkin, L. A. Adelman, T. Ajluni +59
OSIRIS-REx will return pristine samples of carbonaceous asteroid Bennu. This article describes how pristine was defined based on expectations of Bennu and on a realistic understand…
The Diversity of Extrasolar Terrestrial Planets
J. C. Bond, D. S. Lauretta, D. P. O'Brien
Extrasolar planetary host stars are enriched in key planet-building elements. These enrichments have the potential to drastically alter the building blocks available for terrestria…
Beyond the Iron Peak: r- and s-process Elemental Abundances in Stars with Planets
J. C. Bond, D. S. Lauretta, C. G. Tinney +6
We present elemental abundances of 118 stars (28 of which are known extrasolar planetary host stars) observed as part of the Anglo-Australian Planet Search. Abundances of O, Mg, Cr…
