The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt

open access: yes, 2015
The past decade has brought major improvements in large-scale asteroid discovery and characterization with over half a million known asteroids and over 100,000 with some measurement of physical characterization.

Jovian Early Bombardment: planetesimal erosion in the inner asteroid belt

open access: yes, 2012
The asteroid belt is an open window on the history of the Solar System, as it preserves records of both its formation process and its secular evolution.

Size and Albedo Constraints for (152830) Dinkinesh Using WISE Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Probing small main-belt asteroids provides insight into their formation and evolution through multiple dynamical and collisional processes. These asteroids also overlap in size with the potentially hazardous near-Earth object population and supply the ...

Hiding Dust around ϵ Eridani

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
With a Jupiter-like exoplanet and a debris disk with both asteroid and Kuiper Belt analogs, ϵ Eridani has a fascinating resemblance to our expectations for a young solar system.

Terrestrial Planet Formation Constrained by Mars and the Structure of the Asteroid Belt

open access: yes, 2015
Reproducing the large Earth/Mars mass ratio requires a strong mass depletion in solids within the protoplanetary disk between 1 and 3 AU. The Grand Tack model invokes a specific migration history of the giant planets to remove most of the mass initially ...

Study the genesis of the Moons of Jupiter and their Physical Properties

open access: yesمجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2015
A developed model has been put for the hypothesis of capturing moons in explaining the origin of Jupiter moons, and study the change of the orbital properties of these satellites as well as the distance from the planet.

X-Ray Emission Spectroscopy Analysis for Near-Asteroid Belt of Atmospheric of the Comets

open access: yesIraqi Journal of Physics, 2022
         According to Chandra Survey Observatory Near-Asteroid Belt Comets, the solar wind's contact with the comet produces a variety of spectral characteristics. The study of X-ray spectra produced by charge exchange is presented here. The spectrum of

The relationship between the `limiting' Yarkovsky drift speed and asteroid families' Yarkovsky V-shape [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2020
The Yarkovsky effect is an important force to consider in order to understand the long-term dynamics of asteroids. This non-gravitational force affects the orbital elements of objects revolving around a source of heat, especially their semi ...

Erosive Hit-and-Run Impact Events: Debris Unbound

open access: yes, 2015
Erosive collisions among planetary embryos in the inner solar system can lead to multiple remnant bodies, varied in mass, composition and residual velocity. Some of the smaller, unbound debris may become available to seed the main asteroid belt.

Active Asteroids: Main-Belt Comets and Disrupted Asteroids [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015
AbstractThe study of active asteroids has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years since the recognition of main-belt comets (which orbit in the main asteroid belt, but exhibit comet-like activity due to the sublimation of volatile ices) as a new class of comets in 2006, and the discovery of the first disrupted asteroids (which, unlike MBCs ...
