Asteroid flux towards circumprimary habitable zones in binary star systems: I. Statistical Overview

open access: yes, 2015
So far, multiple stellar systems harbor more than 130 extra solar planets. Dynamical simulations show that the outcome of planetary formation process can lead to various planetary architecture (i.e.

Mineralogical Characterization of Baptistina Asteroid Family: Implications for K/T Impactor Source

open access: yes, 2011
Bottke et al. (2007) linked the catastrophic formation of Baptistina Asteroid Family (BAF) to the K/T impact event. This linkage was based on dynamical and compositional evidence, which suggested the impactor had a composition similar to CM2 carbonaceous

Geography of the asteroid belt [PDF]

open access: yes
The CSM classification serves as the starting point on the geography of the asteroid belt. Raw data on asteroid types are corrected for observational biases (against dark objects, for instance) to derive the distribution of types throughout the belt ...
