Water abundance at the surface of C-complex main-belt asteroids
Pierre Beck, Jolantha Eschrig, Sandra Potin +4
Recently published space-based observations of main-belt asteroids with the AKARI telescope provide a full description of the 3 μm band, related to the presence of OH bearing miner…
Visible and near-infrared reflectance of hyperfine and hyperporous particulate surfaces
Robin Sultana, Olivier Poch, Pierre Beck +2
The composition of Solar System surfaces can be inferred through reflectance and emission spectroscopy, by comparing these observations to laboratory measurements and radiative tra…
Infrared detection of aliphatic organics on a cometary nucleus
A. Raponi, M. Ciarniello, F. Capaccioni +28
The ESA Rosetta mission has acquired unprecedented measurements of comet 67/P-Churyumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P) nucleus surface, whose composition, as determined by in situ and…
Spectral reflectance analysis of type 3 carbonaceous chondrites and search for their asteroidal parent bodies
Jolantha Escrig, Lydie Bonal, Pierre Beck +1
Non-differentiated asteroids are among the most primitive objects in our Solar System, having escaped intense heating mechanisms. To help us understand the information contained in…
Mineralogy, chemistry and composition of organic compounds in the fresh carbonaceous chondrite Mukundpura: CM1 or CM2?
S. Potin, P. Beck, L. Bonal +7
We present here several laboratory analyses performed on the freshly fallen Mukundpura CM chondrite. Results of infrared transmission spectroscopy, thermogravimetry analysis and re…
Timing of thermal metamorphism in CM chondrites: implication for Ryugu and Bennu future sample return
Elsa Amsellem, Frédéric Moynier, Brandon Mahan +1
Carbonaceous chondrites are often considered potential contributors of water and other volatiles to terrestrial planets as most of them contain significant amounts of hydrous miner…
