Predicting Asteroid Types: Importance of Individual and Combined Features
Asteroid taxonomies provide a link to surface composition and mineralogy of those objects, although that connection is not fully unique. Currently, one of the most commonly used asteroid taxonomies is that of Bus-DeMeo. The spectral range covering 0.45–2.

Optimal design for a NEO tracking spacecraft formation [PDF]
The following paper presents the design and methodology for developing an optimal set of spacecraft orbits for a NEO tracking mission. The spacecraft is designed to fly in close formation with the asteroid, avoiding the nonlinear gravity field produced ...

Perspective Projection of an Ellipse and an Ellipsoid for Analytical View Factor Evaluation
ABSTRACT Radiative view factors are fundamental quantities for evaluating radiative heat transfer between different surfaces. While analytical expressions of view factors have been evaluated for various types of basic geometries, including circular disks and spheres, extending these solutions to more complex geometries, such as ellipses and ellipsoids ...

On the formation and evolution of asteroid belts and their potential significance for life
Suggestions have been made that asteroid belts may be important both for the existence of life and perhaps even for the evolution of complex life on a planet. Using numerical models for protoplanetary discs we calculate the location of the snow line, and

Using a number of different conventional observing methods of astronomy like spectrophotometry, polarimetry, IR-radiometry and UBV-photometry, physical properties of asteroids can be derived, such as diameters, spectral reflectivity and albedo. Based on observable parameters a classification in terms of taxonomic types can be made and the mineralogy of

ABSTRACT Complex organic mixtures are found in many areas of research, such as energy, environment, health, planetology, and cultural heritage, to name but a few. However, due to their complex chemical composition, which holds an extensive potential of information at the molecular level, their molecular characterization is challenging.

Excitation and Depletion of the Asteroid Belt in the Early Instability Scenario [PDF]
Containing only a few percentages of the mass of the moon, the current asteroid belt is around three to four orders of magnitude smaller than its primordial mass inferred from disk models. Yet dynamical studies have shown that the asteroid belt could not

Warme dichte Materie in Natur und Labor: Ein ungewöhnlicher Materiezustand
Warme dichte Materie rückt immer mehr in den Fokus, nicht nur in der Physik und Astronomie, sondern auch in den Ingenieurswissenschaften und sogar der Politik. Es handelt sich um interessante, aber auch komplizierte Zustände von Materie, die unser Verständnis ihrer Funktionsweise herausfordern.

The empty primordial asteroid belt [PDF]
The asteroid belt may be a cosmic refugee camp that formed empty but was populated by objects from across the solar system. The asteroid belt contains less than a thousandth of Earth’s mass and is radially segregated, with S-types dominating the inner ...
