On the origin of the Almahata-Sitta meteorite and 2008TC3 asteroid [PDF]
, 2012 Asteroid 2008TC3 was a Near Earth Asteroid that impacted the Earth on 2008 October 7. Meteorites were produced by the break-up of 2008TC3 in the high atmosphere and at present, about 600 meteorites - called Almahata Sitta - coming from 2008TC3 have been ...

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.

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.

Feed-Forward Neural Network Denoising Applied to Goldstone Solar System Radar Images
Remote Sensing, 2022 The study of Near-Earth Asteroids (NEA) is crucial for human safety. Small hazardous asteroids with small radar cross sections are not easy to detect, track, and characterize due to the small signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the radar echo. This manuscript

Terrestrial Planet Formation Constrained by Mars and the Structure of the Asteroid Belt
, 2015 Reproducing the large Earth/Mars mass ratio requires a strong mass depletion in solids within the protoplanetary disk between 1 and 3 AU. The Grand Tack model invokes a specific migration history of the giant planets to remove most of the mass initially ...

Near-Earth Asteroids as Possible Parent Bodies of Meteor Streams [PDF]
Учёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2016 The genetic relationship of meteor streams with near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) is being actively studied. A genetic link with the asteroid is possible only for streams in which meteoroids have the geocentric speed smaller than 50 km/s, thereby meaning the ...
