Time and phase resolved optical spectra of potentially hazardous asteroid 2014 JO25 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The asteroid 2014 JO25, considered to be "potentially hazardous" by the Minor Planet Center, was spectroscopically followed during its close-Earth encounter on 19th and 20th of April 2017. The spectra of the asteroid were taken with the low resolution spectrograph (LISA), mounted on the 1.2-m telescope at the Mount Abu Infrared Observatory, India ...

A Post‐Launch Summary of the Science of NASA's Psyche Mission

open access: yesAGU Advances
Astronomical observations indicate that asteroid (16) Psyche is a large, high‐density (likely >3,400 kg·m−3), metal‐rich (30–55 vol. %) asteroid. Psyche may be remnant core material or it could be a primordial, undifferentiated metal‐rich object.

Asteroid Distributions in the Ecliptic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present analysis of the asteroid surface density distribution of main belt asteroids (mean perihelion $\Delta \simeq 2.404$ AU) in five ecliptic latitude fields, $-17 \gtsimeq \beta(\degr) \ltsimeq +15$, derived from deep \textit{Large Binocular Telescope} (LBT) $V-$band (85% completeness limit $V = 21.3$ mag) and \textit{Spitzer Space Telescope ...

Revisiting the Numerical Evaluation and Visualization of the Gravity Fields of Asteroid 4769 Castalia Using Polyhedron and Harmonic Expansions Models

open access: yesApplied Sciences
For the convenience of comparison with previous literature, the gravity calculations are revisited for the Asteroid 4769 Castalia, but with extensions on its surface and on intersecting planes and spheres around it, using the polyhedron and harmonic ...

Space experiment on the “catching” of astromaterials in near space to search for extraterrestrial life

open access: yesВісник Астрономічної школи, 2018
Asteroids and cometary nuclei consist of the same primary substance as the gas-dust cloud from which the solar system was formed. Now this substance is being studied in the meteorite material that fell to the Earth's surface. NASA experts suggested after

Eccentricity distribution in the main asteroid belt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The observationally complete sample of the main belt asteroids now spans more than two orders of magnitude in size and numbers more than 64,000 (excluding collisional family members). We undertook an analysis of asteroids' eccentricities and their interpretation with simple physical models.

AGONISM IN ASTEROIDS

open access: yesThe Biological Bulletin, 1975
1. Intraspecific agonistic behavior, called bouts, which involves ray interactions between individual sea stars, is reported in species from all three living orders of asteroids and described for Patiria miniata and Pycnopodia helianthoides. This behavior indicates a certain sensitivity to conspecific contact on the aboral surface, in which each ...

Determining the size of craters on the surfaces of atmosphereless bodies in Solar system with ground-based methods

open access: yesВісник Астрономічної школи, 2013
A new method of determining the size of craters on the surfaces of atmosphereless bodies of the Solar system, called spectral-frequency method (SFM), was developed at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory by V. V. Prokofieva-Mikhaylovska, N. A. Rublevsky
