A Possible Explanation for the Blue Spectral Slope Observed on B-type Asteroids
Mark J. Loeffler, Beau S. Prince
In an effort to better understand the role dark material plays in the reflectance spectrum of carbonaceous asteroids, we performed laboratory studies focusing on quantifying how th…
Space Weathering of the 3-micron Phyllosilicate Feature induced by Pulsed Laser Irradiation
B. S Prince, M. J. Loeffler
Here we present results from pulsed laser irradiation of CI and CM simulant samples in an effort to simulate space weathering on airless bodies via micrometeorite impacts. For this…
Implications for planetary system formation from interstellar object 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua)
David E. Trilling, Tyler Robinson, Alissa Roegge +6
The recently discovered minor body 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua) is the first known object in our Solar System that is not bound by the Sun's gravity. Its hyperbolic orbit (eccentricity g…
Photolysis of pure solid O3 and O2 films at 193 nm
U. Raut, M. J. Loeffler, M. Famá +1
We studied quantitatively the photochemistry of solid O3 and O2 films at 193 nm and 22 K with infrared spectroscopy and microgravimetry. Photolysis of pure ozone destroyed O3, but…
