Near-mid infrared spectroscopy of carbonaceous chondrites: Insights into spectral variation due to aqueous alteration and thermal metamorphism in asteroids
Jinfei Yu, Haibin Zhao, Edward A. Cloutis +2
Carbonaceous chondrites (CCs) are windows into the early Solar system and the histories of their parent bodies. Their infrared spectral signatures are powerful proxies for decipher…
Properties of the Nili Fossae Olivine-clay-carbonate lithology: orbital and in situ at Séítah
Adrian J. Brown, Linda Kah, Lucia Mandon +31
We examine the observed properties of the Nili Fossae olivine-clay-carbonate lithology from orbital data and in situ by the Mars 2020 rover at the Séítah unit in Jezero crater, inc…
Detection of Rotational Spectral Variation on the M-type asteroid (16) Psyche
Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Michael K. Shepard +6
The asteroid (16) Psyche is of scientific interest because it contains ~ 1% of the total mass of the asteroid belt and is thought to be the remnant metallic core of a protoplanet.…
Physical Characterization of ~2-meter Diameter Near-Earth Asteroid 2015 TC25: A possible boulder from E-type Asteroid (44) Nysa
Vishnu Reddy, Juan A. Sanchez, William F. Bottke +11
Small near-Earth asteroids (>20 meters) are interesting because they are progenitors for meteorites in our terrestrial collection. Crucial to our understanding of the effectiveness…
The Design Reference Asteroid for the OSIRIS-REx Mission Target (101955) Bennu
Carl W. Hergenrother, Maria Antonietta Barucci, Olivier Barnouin +23
The Design Reference Asteroid (DRA) is a compilation of all that is known about the OSIRIS-REx mission target, asteroid (101955) Bennu. It contains our best knowledge of the proper…
The Composition of M-type asteroids II: Synthesis of spectroscopic and radar observations
J. R. Neeley, B. E. Clark, M. E. Ockert-Bell +5
This work updates and expands on results of our long-term radar-driven observational campaign of main-belt asteroids (MBAs) focused on Bus-DeMeo Xc- and Xk-type objects (Tholen X a…
