The Hermean Helium Exosphere—Continuous and Sporadic Helium Release Processes

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Since its detection by Mariner 10, helium has been a key focus in studies of Mercury's exosphere. Recently, Weichbold et al. (2025), https://doi.org/10.1029/2024je008679 provided the first in situ helium measurements, inferring density from Ion Cyclotron Wave (ICW) events observed by the MESSENGER spacecraft.

Orbital Transfers in a Binary Asteroid System Considering Flattening of the Bodies and Solar Radiation Pressure

open access: yesAerospace
This paper aims to investigate the effects of asteroid size and shape and solar radiation pressure in the trajectories of a spacecraft in transfers between the collinear equilibrium points of a binary non-spherical asteroid system.

Review of asteroid, meteor, and meteorite‐type links

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 928-973, April 2025.
Abstract With the goal to determine the origin of our meteorites in the asteroid belt, video and photographic observations of meteors have now tracked 75 meteorite falls. Six years ago, there were just hints that different meteorite types arrived on different orbits, but now, the number of orbits (N) is high enough for distinct patterns to emerge.

Predicting Performance of Hall Effect Ion Source Using Machine Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
This study introduces HallNN, a machine learning tool for predicting Hall effect ion source performance using a neural network ensemble trained on data generated from numerical simulations. HallNN provides faster and more accurate predictions than numerical methods and traditional scaling laws, making it valuable for designing and optimizing Hall ...

SAFARI: Searching Asteroids For Activity Revealing Indicators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Active asteroids behave dynamically like asteroids but display comet-like comae. These objects are poorly understood, with only about 30 identified to date. We have conducted one of the deepest systematic searches for asteroid activity by making use of deep images from the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) ideally suited to the task.

Catalog of Proper Orbits for 1.25 Million Main-belt Asteroids and Discovery of 136 New Collisional Families

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The proper elements of asteroids are obtained from the instantaneous orbital elements by removing periodic oscillations produced by gravitational interactions with planets.

On the origin of the Almahata-Sitta meteorite and 2008TC3 asteroid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Asteroid 2008TC3 was a Near Earth Asteroid that impacted the Earth on 2008 October 7. Meteorites were produced by the break-up of 2008TC3 in the high atmosphere and at present, about 600 meteorites - called Almahata Sitta - coming from 2008TC3 have been recovered.

Migration of Near Earth Asteroid to Jovian-Crosser Asteroid:Case Study 3552 Don Quixote [PDF]

open access: yesJurnal Matematika & Sains,2010, Vol. 12, No.3, p.34-38, 2010
It is generally recognized that main-belt asteroids (MBAs) and nuclei of extinct comets are the two main sources for the Near-Earth-Asteroids (NEAs). Theoretical studies of NEAs dynamics and numerical modelling of their orbital motions showed that the resonance mechanism for supplying NEAs is quite sufficient to sustain this population.
