A comparative analysis of the outer-belt primitive families
M. N. De Prá, N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Carvano +6
Context. Asteroid families are witnesses to the intense collisional evolution that occurred on the asteroid belt. The study of the physical properties of family members can provide…
Clarissa Family Age from the Yarkovsky Effect Chronology
Vanessa C. Lowry, David Vokrouhlicky, David Nesvorny +1
The Clarissa family is a small collisional family composed of primitive C-type asteroids. It is located in a dynamically stable zone of the inner asteroid belt. In this work we det…

Amara L. Graps, Angel Abbud-Madrid, Paul Abell +41
In keeping with the Luxembourg government's initiative to support the future use of space resources, ASIME 2018 was held in Belval, Luxembourg on April 16-17, 2018. The goal of ASI…
Spectral clustering tools applied to Ceres in preparation for OSIRIS-REx color imaging of asteroid (101955) Bennu
Juan Luis Rizos, Julia de León, Javier Licandro +6
The OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample-return mission is investigating primitive near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu. Thousands of images will be acquired by the MapCam instrument onboard t…
Compositional Diversity Among Primitive Asteroids
Humberto Campins, Julia de Leon, Javier Licandro +3
Spectroscopic observations from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared have revealed new and diagnostic differences among primitive asteroids. We review the spectral characteristics o…
Expected spectral characteristics of (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu, targets of the OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa2 missions
J. de León, H. Campins, D. Morate +9
NASA's OSIRIS-REx and JAXA's Hayabusa2 sample-return missions are currently on their way to encounter primitive near-Earth asteroids (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu, respectively…
