Depletion and Excitation of the Asteroid Belt by Migrating Planets
, 2011 International audienceA model of early inner Solar System evolution whereby the gas-driven migration of Jupiter and Saturn truncates the disk of planetesimals and creates a depleted and dynamically excited asteroid belt populated from two parent ...

Geochemical Modeling from the Asteroid Belt to the Kuiper Belt: Systematic Review
EncyclopediaThe high costs and time-consuming nature of space exploration missions are among the major barriers to studying deep space. The lack of samples and limited information make such studies challenging, highlighting the need for innovative solutions ...

Pulsar Timing Noise from Brownian Motion of the Sun
The Astrophysical Journal LettersRecently, pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) reported a signal at nanohertz frequencies consistent with a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Here, I show that the Brownian motion of the Sun as a result of its random gravitational interactions with the ...

SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC STUDIES OF ASTEROIDS II: TAXONOMIC TYPE
Eurasian Physical Technical JournalAnalysis of spectral observations of a number of Main Belt asteroids, the Apollo family asteroid (NEO) 30825 (1990 TG1), and the rare asteroid 1951 Lick was used to determine their taxonomic types.

Satellite Formation around the Largest Asteroids
The Astrophysical Journal LettersSatellites around large asteroids are preferentially found among those with the most rapid rotation and elongated shape. The taxonomic statistics are similarly skewed; in total, 13 asteroids larger than 100 km are known to have satellites, but none have ...

A Spectroscopically Unique Main Belt Asteroid: 10537
, 1991 We present visible and near-infrared reflectance spectra and interpreted surface mineralogy for asteroid 10537 (1991 RY16). The spectrum of this object is without precedent among the main-belt asteroids. A unique absorption band centered at 0.63 mm could
