Operations for Autonomous Spacecraft
Rebecca Castano, Tiago Vaquero, Federico Rossi +20
Onboard autonomy technologies such as planning and scheduling, identification of scientific targets, and content-based data summarization, will lead to exciting new space science m…
(216) Kleopatra, a low density critically rotating M-type asteroid
F. Marchis, L. Jorda, P. Vernazza +36
Context. The recent estimates of the 3D shape of the M/Xe-type triple asteroid system (216) Kleopatra indicated a density of 5 g.cm. Such a high density implies a high metal…
An advanced multipole model for (216) Kleopatra triple system
M. Brož, F. Marchis, L. Jorda +37
To interpret adaptive-optics observations of (216) Kleopatra, we need to describe an evolution of multiple moons, orbiting an extremely irregular body and including their mutual in…
Evidence for differentiation of the most primitive small bodies
B. Carry, P. Vernazza, F. Vachier +40
Dynamical models of Solar System evolution have suggested that P-/D-type volatile-rich asteroids formed in the outer Solar System and may be genetically related to the Jupiter Troj…
Feasibility of characterizing subsurface brines on Ceres by electromagnetic sounding
Robert Grimm, Julie Castillo-Rogez, Carol Raymond +1
The ice-rich dwarf planet Ceres is the largest object in the main asteroid belt and is thought to have a brine or mud layer at a depth of tens of kilometers. Furthermore, recent su…
