Photometry and Polarimetry of 2010 XC15: Observational Confirmation of E-type Near-Earth Asteroid Pair

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Asteroid systems such as binaries and pairs are indicative of the physical properties and dynamical histories of small solar system bodies. Although numerous observational and theoretical studies have been carried out, the formation mechanism of asteroid

Neil Gehrels–Swift Observatory’s Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope Observations of Small Bodies in the Solar System

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
The Neil–Gehrels Swift Observatory has added extensively to our understanding of small bodies in our solar system through its capabilities to rapidly respond to short-live events such as outbursts and collisions, through its near-ultraviolet coverage ...

Static recrystallization of shocked calcite in Ries impact breccias

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Calcite is prone to chemical and microstructural modifications, especially after having been strained at high stresses and strain rates, as during hypervelocity impact events. These modifications include precipitation from pore fluid as well as replacement of strained volumes by recrystallization. In calcite aggregates of a metagranite breccia

Formation and Evolution of Binary Asteroids

open access: yes, 2015
Satellites of asteroids have been discovered in nearly every known small body population, and a remarkable aspect of the known satellites is the diversity of their properties.

A Comprehensive Comparison of Period Extraction Algorithms for Asteroids with Long Term Observation

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
The light curve period of an asteroid plays an important role in determining the rotation period, the collision evolution and the YORP effect. There are many period extraction algorithms used to find the light curve period of asteroids with long term ...

Orbital Mechanics near a Rotating Asteroid [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astrophysics and Astronomy, 2014
This study investigates the different novel forms of the dynamical equations of a particle orbiting a rotating asteroid and the effective potential, the Jacobi integral, etc. on different manifolds. Nine new forms of the dynamical equations of a particle orbiting a rotating asteroid are presented, and the classical form of the dynamical equations has ...

Geochemical and petrographic re‐evaluation of ungrouped iron meteorites from Western Australia

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Under the current classification scheme, ungrouped irons make up ~11% of all recognized iron meteorites. A further ~7% of iron meteorites are currently classified as simply “irons” and are yet to be fully classified. To potentially classify these meteorites, newer approaches, including either statistical modeling or advanced geochemical ...

Asteroid Models from Multiple Data Sources

open access: yes, 2015
In the past decade, hundreds of asteroid shape models have been derived using the lightcurve inversion method. At the same time, a new framework of 3-D shape modeling based on the combined analysis of widely different data sources such as optical ...

Al‐Khadhaf: The first camera‐observed (H5–6) meteorite fall from Oman

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A fireball camera system installed in 2022 by the Oman Meteorite Monitoring Project (OMMP) as part of the Global Fireball Observatory (GFO) recorded a 3.2 s fireball on March 8, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. UTC. A meteoroid of 4 ± 2 kg entered the atmosphere at 14.0 km/s.

Effect of rotational disruption on the size-frequency distribution of the Main Belt asteroid population

open access: yes, 2014
The size distribution of small asteroids in the Main Belt is assumed to be determined by an equilibrium between the creation of new bodies out of the impact debris of larger asteroids and the destruction of small asteroids by collisions with smaller ...
