Testing the Bus–DeMeo Asteroid Taxonomy Using Meteorite Spectra
The Planetary Science JournalThe most widely used method to spectrally classify asteroids is the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy. To test how well the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy groups asteroids on the basis of their mineralogy, we have classified ∼1500 meteorite spectra using this Bus–DeMeo system ...

Origin and Dynamical Evolution of the Asteroid Belt
, 2022 The asteroid belt was dynamically shaped during and after planet formation. Despite representing a broad ring of stable orbits, the belt contains less than one one-thousandth of an Earth mass. The asteroid orbits are dynamically excited with a wide range in eccentricity and inclination and their compositions are diverse, with a general trend toward dry

Identifying LL Chondrite Near-Earth Asteroids Using LL Chondrite Reflectance Spectra
The Astrophysical Journal LettersMost near-Earth objects are thought to originate from the collisional fragments of the main asteroid belt. One question that remains to be resolved is the proportion of near-Earth objects sampling the core area material of the parent body to the outer ...

Recent collisional history of (65803) Didymos
Nature CommunicationsThe Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART, NASA) spacecraft revealed that the primary of the (65803) Didymos near-Earth asteroid (NEA) binary system is not exactly the expected spinning top shape observed for other km-size asteroids.
