The brittle boulders of dwarf planet Ceres
Stefan Schröder, Uri Carsenty, Ernst Hauber +2
We mapped all boulders larger than 105 m on the surface of dwarf planet Ceres using images of the Dawn framing camera acquired in the Low Altitude Mapping Orbit (LAMO). We find tha…
The boulder population of asteroid 4 Vesta: Size-frequency distribution and survival time
Stefan E. Schröder, Uri Carsenty, Ernst Hauber +3
Dawn's framing camera observed boulders on the surface of Vesta when the spacecraft was in its lowest orbit (LAMO). We identified, measured, and mapped boulders in LAMO images, whi…
Spectrophotometric Modeling and Mapping of Ceres
Jian-Yang Li, Stefan E. Schröder, Stefano Mottola +8
We report a comprehensive analysis of the global spectrophotometric properties of Ceres using Dawn Framing Camera images collected from April to June 2015 during the RC3 and Survey…
Ceres' opposition effect observed by the Dawn framing camera
Stefan E. Schröder, Jian-Yang Li, Marc D. Rayman +12
The surface reflectance of planetary regoliths may increase dramatically towards zero phase angle, a phenomenon known as the opposition effect (OE). Two physical processes that are…
Solar System Ice Giants: Exoplanets in our Backyard
Abigail Rymer, Kathleen Mandt, Dana Hurley +110
Future remote sensing of exoplanets will be enhanced by a thorough investigation of our solar system Ice Giants (Neptune-size planets). What can the configuration of the magnetic f…
Surface Albedo and Spectral Variability of Ceres
Jian-Yang Li, Vishnu Reddy, Andreas Nathues +21
Previous observations suggested that Ceres has active but possibly sporadic water outgassing, and possibly varying spectral characteristics in a time scale of months. We used all a…
Constraining the Cratering Chronology of Vesta
David P. O'Brien, Simone Marchi, Alessandro Morbidelli +4
Vesta has a complex cratering history, with ancient terrains as well as recent large impacts that have led to regional resurfacing. Crater counts can help constrain the relative ag…
Global Photometric Properties of Asteroid (4) Vesta Observed with Dawn Framing Camera
Jian-Yang Li, Lucille Le Corre, Stefan E. Schröder +9
Dawn spacecraft orbited Vesta for more than one year and collected a huge volume of multispectral, high-resolution data in the visible wavelengths with the Framing Camera. We prese…
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…
Small crater populations on Vesta
S. Marchi, W. F. Bottke, D. P. O'Brien +7
The NASA Dawn mission has extensively examined the surface of asteroid Vesta, the second most massive body in the main belt. The high quality of the gathered data provides us with…
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…
Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Asteroid (4) Vesta
Jian-Yang Li, Dennis Bodewits, Lori M. Feaga +6
We report a comprehensive review of the UV-visible spectrum and rotational lightcurve of Vesta combining new observations by Hubble Space Telescope and Swift Gamma-ray Burst Observ…
