Fully Coherent Model of Dynamics around Binary Asteroids: Application to Didymos and the DART Impact

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The dynamical environment around binary asteroids has been studied in depth, but these models typically make assumptions about the eccentricity, shapes, or rotational stability of the asteroids.

Planetary Bistatic Radar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Planetary radar observations offer the potential for probing the properties of characteristics of solid bodies throughout the inner solar system and at least as far as the orbit of Saturn.

Prediction of transits of solar system objects in Kepler/K2 images: An extension of the Virtual Observatory service SkyBoT

open access: yes, 2016
All the fields of the extended space mission Kepler/K2 are located within the ecliptic. Many solar system objects thus cross the K2 stellar masks on a regular basis.

Impact Reactivation of a Hydrothermal System in Basalt in the Vargeão Dome Impact Structure, Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract As hydrous minerals have been observed in impact craters on Mars, impact‐generated hydrothermal systems (IGHSs) have been considered as potential habitats for life on that planet. The Vargeão Dome, a 12 km wide impact structure in southern Brazil, was formed in basalts with at least two hydrothermal alteration stages.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Orbit of the Patroclus–Menoetius Binary System and Predictions for the 2024/2025 Mutual Events Season

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We report on the ephemeris development for Menoetius, the satellite of Patroclus. Our data set consisted of ground–based and Hubble Space Telescope relative astrometry, as well as 42 lightcurves from the mutual events seasons in 2007, 2012, and 2017/2018.

Sustainable Water Systems in Space: A Review of Current Technologies and Future Prospects

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Sustainable water management is a critical challenge in space exploration, where the limited availability of resources requires innovative approaches to ensure astronauts' survival on long‐duration missions. This narrative review explores the key technologies and methods involved in water recycling, in situ resource utilization (ISRU), and ...

Tour of Asteroids for Characterization Observations (TACO): A Planetary Defense Asteroid Tour Concept

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Asteroid impacts potentially represent a substantial threat to humanity, but one that we can plan for and mitigate. To design an effective asteroid mitigation mission, however, it is important to have as detailed knowledge of the asteroid threat as ...
