Considerations on the magnitude distributions of the Kuiper belt and of the Jupiter Trojans
Morbidelli Alessandro, Harold F. Levison, William Bottke +2
By examining the absolute magnitude (H) distributions (hereafter HD) of the cold and hot populations in the Kuiper belt and of the Trojans of Jupiter, we find evidence that the Tro…
The Distribution of Basaltic Asteroids in the Main Belt
Nicholas A. Moskovitz, Robert Jedicke, Eric Gaidos +4
We present the observational results of a survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as can…
Main Belt Binary Asteroidal Systems With Eccentric Mutual Orbits
F. Marchis, P. Descamps, J. Berthier +5
Using 8m-10m class telescopes and their Adaptive Optics (AO) systems, we conducted a long-term adaptive optics campaign initiated in 2003 focusing on four binary asteroid systems:…
V-type asteroids in the middle Main Belt
F. Roig, D. Nesvorny, R. Gil-Hutton +1
The recent discovery of the first V-type asteroid in the middle belt, (21238) 1995WV7, located at ~2.54 AU, raises the question of whether it came from (4) Vesta or not. In this pa…
Threat Characterization: Trajectory Dynamics
Russell Schweickart, Clark Chapman, Dan Durda +3
Given a primary interest in "mitigation of the potential hazard" of near-Earth objects impacting the Earth, the subject of characterization takes on an aspect not normally present…
On the V-type asteroids outside the Vesta family. I. Interplay of nonlinear secular resonances and the Yarkovsky effect: the cases of 956 Elisa and 809 Lundia
Valerio Carruba, Tatiana Michtchenko, Fernando Roig +2
Among the largest objects in the main belt, asteroid 4 Vesta is unique in showing a basaltic crust. It is also the biggest member of the Vesta family, which is supposed to originat…
