Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt

Science, 1982
The distribution of compositional types among the asteroids is found to vary systematically with heliocentric distance. Seven distinct peaks in the relative proportion of the compositional types E, R, S, M, F, C, P, and D are found from 1.8 to 5.2 astronomical units.

Stable Chaos in the Asteroid Belt☆

Icarus, 1997
Abstract Most asteroids are characterized by positive Lyapounov Characteristic Exponents (LCE), which means that their orbits are chaotic. Indeed, the striking fact is that for many of them the maximum LCE is very large, with a corresponding Lyapounov time shorter (often much shorter) than 100,000 years, as we report in this work.

Hannes: A mission to the asteroid belt

Acta Astronautica, 1996
Abstract An asteroid belt mission is being studied by Swedish space authorities in cooperation with Russian, European, and American partners. The mission will perform a survey of the inner solar system with an emphasis on cosmogonic issues, i.e. it will study the importance of plasma processes in the formation and evolution of the solar system.

Resonant structure of the outer asteroid belt

Celestial Mechanics, 1984
An analysis of ordered and chaotic regions of motion in the outer asteroid belt has shown that once the eccentricity of Jupiter is introduced the chaotic regions of the circular model are quite easily depleted. This suggests that also objects in neighbouring regions must be strongly perturbed.

Physical study of outer belt asteroids

Advances in Space Research, 1991
Abstract Located in the proximity of Jovian resonances, the outer belt asteroids are kept from interacting with other asteroids and are likely to represent a population of primitive bodies. The systematic investigation of the physical properties of these objects and the subsequent understanding of their nature and origin, will have a direct ...

The Asteroid Belt

2016
While asteroids are not moons, they share certain characteristics. The main asteroid belt is a region between Mars and Jupiter where the majority of the asteroids in the solar system are located. It is also a region which is commonly misunderstood. People hear “asteroid belt” and often thinks of a Star Wars-style region with fields of asteroids thick ...

The importance of exploring the asteroid belt

Acta Astronautica, 1983
Following life's innate tendency to expand into every available space, technological civilizations will inevitably colonize the entire galaxy establishing space habitats around all its well-behaved stars. The most reasonable place in our solar system to test this possibility is the asteroid belt, which is an ideal source of raw materials for space ...
