Origin of asteroid (101955) Bennu and its connection to the New Polana family [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
The asteroid (142) Polana is classified as a B-type asteroid located in the inner Main Belt. This asteroid is the parent of the New Polana family, which has been proposed to be the likely source of primitive near-Earth asteroids such as the B-type ...

The Formation of a Rubble Pile Asteroid: Insights from the Asteroid Ryugu

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
The Hayabusa2 mission returned primitive samples from the C-type asteroid Ryugu to Earth. The C-type asteroids hold clues to the origin of Earth’s water and the building blocks of life.

The first complete mitochondrial genome of the Northern Pacific deep-sea goniasterid sea star Ceramaster japonicus (Sladen, 1889) determined using NGS-based shotgun sequencing

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The full mitogenome of an ethanol-preserved museum specimen of Ceramaster japonicus was determined using the NGS Illumina MiSeq platform. The specimen was collected from Tosa Bay, Japan, facing the Pacific Ocean (33.0781 N 134.0601 E), at 700 m depth in ...

Deficit of primitive compositions in binary asteroids and pairs [PDF]

open access: yesA&A 672, A48 (2023), 2023
Context. Small binary asteroid systems and pairs are thought to form through fission induced by spin up via the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect. This process is expected to depend on their structural strength, hence composition. Aims.

Optical Imaging Instruments and Main Science Results of Small Body Exploration: A Review

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
Compared with planets and their moons, small bodies retain the characteristics of their early formation. Therefore small bodies, especially Near Earth Asteroids (NEA), have become one of the most valuable targets in space exploration. This paper presents

Feasibility Analysis of Autonomous Orbit Determination and Gravity-Field Recovery around Asteroids Using Inter-Satellite Range Data

open access: yesAerospace, 2023
Autonomous navigation and orbit determination are key problems of asteroid exploration missions. Inter-satellite range link is a type of measurement widely used in the orbit determination of Earth satellites, but not so widely used in missions around ...
