Vestoids, Part II: The basaltic nature and HED meteorite analogs for eight Vp-type asteroids and their associations with (4) Vesta
Paul S. Hardersen, Vishnu Reddy, Rachel Roberts
Improving constraints on the abundance of basaltic asteroids in the main asteroid belt is necessary for better understanding the thermal and collisional environment in the early so…
Observing Near-Earth Objects with the James Webb Space Telescope
Cristina A. Thomas, Paul Abell, Julie Castillo-Rogez +6
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has the potential to enhance our understanding of near-Earth objects (NEOs). We present results of investigations into the observability of NE…
Photometric Properties of Ceres from Telescopic Observations using Dawn Framing Camera Color Filters
Vishnu Reddy, Jian-Yang Li, Bruce L. Gary +7
The dwarf planet Ceres is likely differentiated similar to the terrestrial planets but with a water/ice dominated mantle and an aqueously altered crust. Detailed modeling of Ceres'…
The Physical Characterization of the Potentially-Hazardous Asteroid 2004 BL86: A Fragment of a Differentiated Asteroid
Vishnu Reddy, Bruce L. Gary, Juan A. Sanchez +11
The physical characterization of potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) is important for impact hazard assessment and evaluating mitigation options. Close flybys of PHAs provide an…
Spectral calibration for deriving surface mineralogy of Asteroid (25143) Itokawa from Hayabusa Near-Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS) Data
Megha Bhatt, Vishnu Reddy, Lucille Le Corre +6
We present spectral calibration equations for determining mafic silicate composition of near-Earth asteroid (25143) Itokawa from visible/near-infrared spectra measured using the Ne…
Composition of Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (214869) 2007 PA8: An H Chondrite from the Outer Asteroid Belt
Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Melissa Dykhuis +2
Potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) represent a unique opportunity for physical characterization during their close approaches to Earth. The proximity of these asteroids makes t…
