Spectral Type and Geometric Albedo of (98943) 2001 CC21, the Hayabusa2# Mission Target

Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro, Mikael Granvik +18

We conducted optical polarimetry and near-infrared spectroscopy of JAXA's Hayabusa2# mission target, (98943) 2001 CC21, in early 2023. Our new observations indicated that this aste…

Near-Ultraviolet Absorption Distribution of Primitive Asteroids from Spectrophotometric Surveys

Eri Tatsumi, Faith Vilas, Julia de León +5

Aims: Our objectives were first to evaluate the possibility for using the NUV absorption as diagnostics of hydrated minerals based on the recent datasets of primitive asteroids and…

Isolating the mechanisms for asteroid surface refreshing

F. E. DeMeo, M. Marsset, D. Polishook +10

Evidence is seen for young, fresh surfaces among Near-Earth and Main-Belt asteroids even though space-weathering timescales are shorter than the age of the surfaces. A number of me…

Spectral evolution of dark asteroid surfaces induced by space weathering over a decade

Sunao Hasegawa, Francesca E. DeMeo, Michael Marsset +20

The surface of airless bodies like asteroids in the Solar System are known to be affected by space weathering. Experiments simulating space weathering are essential for studying th…

(3200) Phaethon Polarimetry in the Negative Branch: New Evidence for the Anhydrous Nature of the DESTINY+ Target Asteroid

Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro, Jun Takahashi +23

We report on the first polarimetric study of (3200) Phaethon, the target of JAXA's DESTINY mission, in the negative branch to ensure its anhydrous nature and to derive an accur…

Probing the surface environment of large T-type asteroids

Yuna G. Kwon, Sunao Hasegawa, Sonia Fornasier +2

We probed the surface environment of large (80 km in diameter) T-type asteroids, a taxonomic type relatively ill-constrained as an independent group, and discussed their place o…
