Resonant structure of the outer asteroid belt
Celestial Mechanics, 1984An 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.

Cosmogony of the asteroidal belt
Nature, 1974In the plot of asteroids considered the mass density is substituted for the number density. This approach provides a better definition of the limits of the main belt, and demonstrates more clearly that the asteroids, like the Saturnian rings, have condensed from partially corotating plasma.

Polarimetry of main belt asteroids: Wavelength dependence
Icarus, 2009New UBVRI polarimetric observations of ten asteroids, including space mission targets 1 Ceres and 21 Lutetia, are presented. These observations were obtained with the 1.25-m telescope of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory and have been used to study the wavelength dependence of polarization for a sample of asteroids belonging to the M and low albedo

Hannes: A mission to the asteroid belt
Acta Astronautica, 1996Abstract 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. For

Escaping From the Asteroid Belt
Science, 1999Recent observations may have fingered the type of asteroid responsible for most meteorites (see main text). And thanks to progress in orbital dynamics, another mystery may also be yielding: how asteroid debris is slung toward Earth in the first place.

Subaru Main Belt Asteroid Survey (SMBAS)—Size and color distributions of small main-belt asteroids
Planetary and Space Science, 2007Abstract Since February, 2001, we have been conducting a series of survey observations to investigate the physical property of very small Main Belt Asteroids (sub-km MBAs) using the Subaru prime-focus camera (Suprime-Cam) attached to the 8.2 m Subaru telescope. We call our surveys “SMBAS: Subaru Main-Belt Asteroids Survey”.

The importance of exploring the asteroid belt
Acta Astronautica, 1983Following 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 ...
