Mission Analysis For the Ion Beam Deflection of Fictitious Asteroid 2015PDC

, 2015
A realistic mission scenario for the deflection of fictitious asteroid 2015PDC is investigated that makes use of the ion beam shepherd concept as primary deflection technique. The article deals with the design of a low thrust rendezvous trajectory to the

On the dynamics of Trojan asteroids [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996
The author's theory of Trojan asteroids (Érdi, 1988) is developed further. The motion of the Trojans is considered in the framework of the three-dimensional elliptic restricted three-body problem of the Sun-Jupiter-asteroid system including also the secular changes of Jupiter's orbital eccentricity and the apsidal motion of Jupiter's elliptic orbit.

Chamber‐by‐Chamber Measurements of Planktonic Foraminiferal Mg, Sr, and Na to Ca Ratios With Femtosecond LA‐ICP‐MS

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Distribution patterns of foraminifera are controlled by environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, and nutrient concentrations in each water mass. Since trace elements to Ca ratios of marine microfossil calcite test of foraminifera record environmental and ecological habitat information, we used femtosecond (fs) LA‐ICP ...

Futures of Everyday Life: A Qualitative Content Analysis of Future Personas in Scenarios

FUTURES &FORESIGHT SCIENCE, Volume 8, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Scenario reports, holding a long‐standing tradition in foresight and futures studies, act as an essential document for organizations to prepare for possible, plausible, and alternative futures. Focusing on descriptions and representations of everyday life, we examined 29 future persona narratives from six publications—covering a wide field ...

Scattering V-type asteroids during the giant planets instability: A step for Jupiter, a leap for basalt

, 2017
V-type asteroids are a taxonomic class whose surface is associated to a basaltic composition. The only known source of V-type asteroids in the Main Asteroid Belt is (4) Vesta, that is located in the inner part of the belt.

Disintegration and Skipping Dynamics of Bilobate‐Shaped Meteoroids for Generating Ultra‐Long Strewn Fields

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The longest known Aletai meteorite belt presents a unique phenomenon in meteoroid dynamics. To investigate its formation mechanism, this study introduces a bilobate‐shaped meteoroid model, emphasizing aerodynamic interactions and structure evolution.

Earth's Minimoons: Opportunities for Science and Technology

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018
Twelve years ago the Catalina Sky Survey discovered Earth's first known natural geocentric object other than the Moon, a few-meter diameter asteroid designated 2006 RH120. Despite significant improvements in ground-based telescope and detector technology

Microimaging Spectroscopy of Carbonaceous Chondrites and Comparison to the Spectral Diversity of Asteroids

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Primitive asteroids and carbonaceous chondrites (CCs) record the history of processes in the early solar system. Visible and shortwave infrared (VSWIR) spectroscopy of primitive asteroids and bulk‐powdered CCs has identified shared spectral features suggestive of shared parent body origins.

Orbital Capture of Ejecta into Periodic Orbits around Binary Asteroid (65803) Didymos

The Planetary Science Journal
The successful impact of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft on Dimorphos enabled the first-ever extensive observation of a postimpact ejecta tail from a binary asteroid system.

Mineralogical Characterization of Baptistina Asteroid Family: Implications for K/T Impactor Source

, 2011
Bottke et al. (2007) linked the catastrophic formation of Baptistina Asteroid Family (BAF) to the K/T impact event. This linkage was based on dynamical and compositional evidence, which suggested the impactor had a composition similar to CM2 carbonaceous
