The distribution of basaltic asteroids in the Main Belt [PDF]

open access: yesIcarus, 2008
We present the observational results of a survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as candidates for having a basaltic composition. Fifty basaltic candidates were selected with orbital elements that lie outside of the Vesta dynamical family.

Multicolor Photometry of Tiny Near-Earth Asteroid 2015 RN35 across a Wide Range of Phase Angles: Possible Mission-accessible A-type Asteroid

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Studying small near-Earth asteroids is important in order to understand their dynamical histories and origins as well as to mitigate the damage caused by asteroid impacts on Earth.

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.

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 ...

Science Needs for a Terrestrial Biosphere Tipping Point Early Warning System

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Tipping points in the Earth system have the potential to cause major detrimental impacts to the biosphere and societies. Their inherent nonlinearity implies that even relatively small additional increases in external forcing might result in disproportionately large adjustments to components of the Earth system.

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.

Mean Motion Resonances in the Asteroid Belt [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1999
The Kirkwood gaps in the main asteroidal belt (2 – 3.5 AU) coincide with the mean motion resonances with Jupiter (4/1, 3/1, 5/2, 7/3, 2/1). Similarly, several narrower gaps are observed in the outer asteroid belt (3.5 – 4 AU) at places of 11/6, 9/5, 7/4 and 5/3 Jovian resonances (Holman and Murray 1996).

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

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
