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…
Possible sublimation and dust activity on primitive NEAs: Example of (162173) Ryugu
Vladimir V. Busarev, Faith Vilas, Andrei B. Makalkin
Because of relatively high surface temperatures and quick evolution of orbital parameters of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) of primitive types, the possibility of retention of icy mat…
New candidates for active asteroids: main-belt (145) Adeona, (704) Interamnia, (779) Nina, (1474) Beira, and near-Earth (162173) Ryugu
Vladimir V. Busarev, Andrei B. Makalkin, Faith Vilas +2
For the first time, spectral signs of subtle coma activity were observed simultaneously on four main-belt primitive asteroids (145) Adeona, (704) Interamnia, (779) Nina, and (1474)…
Astronomical Observations of Volatiles on Asteroids
Andrew S. Rivkin, Humberto Campins, Joshua P. Emery +4
We have long known that water and hydroxyl are important components in meteorites and asteroids. However, in the time since the publication of Asteroids III, evolution of astronomi…
Methane and Nitrogen Abundances On Pluto and Eris
S. C. Tegler, D. M. Cornelison, W. M. Grundy +8
We present spectra of Eris from the MMT 6.5 meter telescope and Red Channel Spectrograph (5700-9800 angstroms; 5 angstroms per pix) on Mt. Hopkins, AZ, and of Pluto from the Stewar…
