The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Asteroid diameters are traditionally difficult to estimate. When a direct measurement of the diameter cannot be made through either occultation or direct radar observations, the most common method is to approximate the diameter from infrared observations.

Thermography of Asteroid and Future Applications in Space Missions
Applied Sciences, 2020 The Near-Earth Asteroid 162173 Ryugu is a C-type asteroid which preserves information about the ancient Solar System and is considered enriched in volatiles such as water and organics associated with the building blocks of life, and it is a potentially ...

Nature of bright C-complex asteroids [PDF]
, 2020 Most C-complex asteroids have albedo values less than 0.1, but there are some high-albedo (bright) C-complex asteroids with albedo values exceeding 0.1. To reveal the nature and origin of bright C-complex asteroids, we conducted spectroscopic observations of the asteroids in visible and near-infrared wavelength regions.

Planetary defense with the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission and prospects
Nature Communications, 2023 NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission intentionally impacted the asteroid Dimorphos on September 26, 2022, and this kinetic impact changed Dimorphos’ orbit around its binary companion Didymos.

, 2015 Asteroids and comets are remnants from the era of Solar System formation over 4.5 billion years ago, and therefore allow us to address two fundamental questions in astronomy: what was the nature of our protoplanetary disk, and how did the process of planetary accretion occur?

MONET: The Minor Body Generator Tool at DART Lab
SensorsMinor bodies exhibit considerable variability in shape and surface morphology, posing challenges for spacecraft operations, which are further compounded by highly non-linear dynamics and limited communication windows with Earth.
