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…
Delivery of Dark Material to Vesta via Carbonaceous Chondritic Impacts
Vishnu Reddy, Lucille Le Corre, David P. O'Brien +22
NASA's Dawn spacecraft observations of asteroid (4) Vesta reveal a surface with the highest albedo and color variation of any asteroid we have observed so far. Terrains rich in low…
Phase reddening on near-Earth asteroids: Implications for mineralogical analysis, space weathering and taxonomic classification
Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Andreas Nathues +3
Phase reddening is an effect that produces an increase of the spectral slope and variations in the strength of the absorption bands as the phase angle increases. In order to unders…
