Tracing the main belt origins of S-complex near-Earth objects: From space mission targets to meteorite sources

P. N. Simon, P. Vernazza, M. Marsset +5

Context. Space missions to near-Earth objects (NEOs) provide unique opportunities to study and characterise their physical and compositional properties. Interpreting these results…

Dark asteroids exhibiting intermediate characteristics between C and X types

Sunao Hasegawa, Chrysa Avdellidou, Michael Marsset +8

Large main-belt asteroids with visible geometric albedos below 0.1 are predominantly classified within the C- and X-complex spectroscopic classes. C-type and dark X-type asteroids…

Tianwen-2 target asteroid (469219) Kamo'oalewa probably develops an Itokawa-compositional but ultra-highly space-weathered surface

Pengfei Zhang, Guozheng Zhang, Zichen Wei +45

China's Tianwen-2 mission plans to return samples from a small, rapidly spinning Earth quasi-satellite (469219) Kamo'oalewa. Previous studies linked Kamo'oalewa to lunar compositio…

The Nysa family as the main source of unequilibrated LL ordinary chondrites

M. Marsset, P. Vernazza, M. Brož +16

Context. The origin of the petrologic diversity observed in ordinary chondrites (OCs), the most common meteorites on Earth, remains debated. Competing models invoke either depth-de…

Source regions of carbonaceous meteorites and NEOs

M. Brož, P. Vernazza, M. Marsset +15

The present work aims to determine the source regions of carbonaceous chondrites (CM, CI, CO, CV, CK, CR, CH, CB, or C-ungrouped). We studied 38 individual asteroid families, inclu…

The Massalia asteroid family as the origin of ordinary L chondrites

Michaël Marsset, Pierre Vernazza, Miroslav Brož +10

Studies of micrometeorites in mid-Ordovician limestones and Earth's impact craters indicate that our planet witnessed a massive infall of ordinary L chondrite material 466 million…
