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

Multisatellite Task Allocation and Orbit Planning for Asteroid Terminal Defence
Near-Earth asteroids are a great threat to the Earth, especially potential rendezvous and collision asteroids. To protect the Earth from an asteroid collision, it is necessary to investigate the asteroid defence problem.

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