Chelyabinsk meteorite explains unusual spectral properties of Baptistina Asteroid Family
Vishnu Reddy, Juan Sanchez, William Bottke +8
We investigated the spectral and compositional properties of Chelyabinsk meteorite to identify its possible parent body in the main asteroid belt. Our analysis shows that the meteo…
Olivine-dominated asteroids: Mineralogy and origin
Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Michael S. Kelley +8
Olivine-dominated asteroids are a rare type of objects formed either in nebular processes or through magmatic differentiation. The analysis of meteorite samples suggest that at lea…
Olivine or Impact Melt: Nature of the "Orange" Material on Vesta from Dawn
Lucille Le Corre, Vishnu Reddy, Nico Schmedemann +18
NASA's Dawn mission observed a great variety of colored terrains on asteroid (4) Vesta during its survey with the Framing Camera (FC). Here we present a detailed study of the orang…
Comparing Dawn, Hubble Space Telescope, and Ground-Based Interpretations of (4) Vesta
Vishnu Reddy, Jian-Yang Li, Lucille Le Corre +10
Observations of asteroid 4 Vesta by NASA's Dawn spacecraft are interesting because its surface has the largest range of albedo, color and composition of any other asteroid visited…
Composition of Near-Earth Asteroid (4179) Toutatis
Vishnu Reddy, Juan Andreas Sanchez, Michael Gaffey +3
Surface composition of near-Earth asteroid (4179) Toutatis is consistent with an undifferentiated L-chondrite composition. This is inconsistent with early observations that suggest…
Composition of Near-Earth Asteroid 2008 EV5: Potential target for Robotic and Human Exploration
Vishnu Reddy, Lucille Le Corre, Michael Hicks +5
We observed potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) 2008 EV5 in the visible (0.30-0.92 microns) and near-IR (0.75-2.5 microns) wavelengths to determine its surface composition. This a…
