Observational Investigation of the 2013 Near-Earth Encounter by Asteroid (367943) Duende
Nicholas Moskovitz, Conor Benson, Daniel Scheeres +20
On 15 February 2013, the asteroid 367943 Duende (2012 DA14) experienced a near-Earth encounter at an altitude of 27,700 km or 4.2 Earth radii. We present here the results of an ext…
Visible spectroscopy from the Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS): Taxonomic dependence on asteroid size
Maxime Devogele, Nicholas Moskovitz, Audrey Thirouin +14
The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS) aims to observe and characterize small (mean absolute magnitude H ~ 25 mag) Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that are accessible by…
Active asteroid (6478) Gault: a blue Q-type surface below the dust?
Michael Marsset, Francesca DeMeo, Adrian Sonka +6
We present near-infrared spectroscopy of the sporadically active asteroid (6478) Gault collected on the 3 m NASA/Infrared Telescope Facility observatory in late 2019 March/early Ap…
A common origin for dynamically associated near-Earth asteroid pairs
Nicholas Moskovitz, Petr Fatka, Davide Farnocchia +19
Though pairs of dynamically associated asteroids in the Main Belt have been identified and studied for over a decade, very few pair systems have been identified in the near-Earth a…
Olivine-dominated A-type asteroids in the Main Belt: Distribution, Abundance and Relation to Families
Francesca E. DeMeo, David Polishook, Benoit Carry +5
Differentiated asteroids are rare in the main asteroid belt despite evidence for ~100 distinct differentiated bodies in the meteorite record. We have sought to understand why so fe…
