Abstract Meteorite collection inventories show that many related meteorite groups have very different numerical abundances (e.g., lunar versus Martian meteorites; Eagle Station pallasites versus main‐group pallasites; eucrites versus diogenites; ungrouped Antarctic irons versus ungrouped non‐Antarctic irons; carbonaceous chondrite‐related (CC) iron ...

Reconstructing the size distribution of the primordial Main Belt
In this work we aim to constrain the slope of the size distribution of main-belt asteroids, at their primordial state. To do so we turn out attention to the part of the main asteroid belt between 2.82 and 2.96~AU, the so-called "pristine zone", which has

Experimental simulations of space weathering on pentlandite
Abstract Pentlandite (Fe, Ni)9S8 is an important accessory mineral on asteroidal surfaces. It has been identified in returned regolith samples from asteroids Itokawa, Ryugu, and Bennu. Currently, systematic studies to understand the response of this mineral phase under space weathering conditions are lacking.

Spitzer Observations of Spacecraft Target 162173 (1999 JU3)
Near-Earth asteroid 162173 (1999 JU3) is the primary target of the Hayabusa-2 sample return mission, and a potential target of the Marco Polo sample return mission. Earth-based studies of this object are fundamental to these missions.

Abstract Dissociated zircon is largely used as a robust indicator of glasses generated by impact cratering and airbursts. The reaction of zircon dissociation, i.e. ‘ZrSiO4 → ZrO2 + SiO2’, requires high temperatures (>1670°C) only reached by extreme geological processes. Using high‐temperature experiments, this study shows that zircon can dissociate and

Earth's Minimoons: Opportunities for Science and Technology
Twelve years ago the Catalina Sky Survey discovered Earth's first known natural geocentric object other than the Moon, a few-meter diameter asteroid designated 2006 RH120. Despite significant improvements in ground-based telescope and detector technology

Abstract We reevaluated pairing relationships among 56 Antarctic howardites, eucrites, and diogenites (HED) from the Miller Range ice fields (MIL) based on new measurements of cosmogenic radionuclides and bulk composition of 28 HED samples and one HED‐related dunite.

Abstract We report the discovery of (Al,Cu)‐bearing metallic alloys in two micrometeorites found in the Project Stardust collection gathered from urban rooftop environments in Norway. Most of the alloys are the same as those found in the Khatyrka meteorite and other micrometeorites, though one has a composition that has not been reported previously ...

Review Articles and Meetings. I will concentrate on recent review articles, especially when they give titles of earlier papers. Only for asteroids, because there seems to be no published review, and for other selected topics will we go back more than 4 years.
