INVESTIGATIONS OF SURFACES OF ATMOSPHERE LESS BODIES USING SCATTERED SOLAR LIGHT
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 Sunlight scattered by surfaces of atmosphere less bodies carry information about details of these surfaces. Burns and Tedesco in 1979 published formula for estimations of dimensions of details located on surfaces of asteroids.

The origin of planetary impactors in the inner solar system [PDF]
, 2005 New insights into the history of the inner solar system are derived from the impact cratering record of the Moon, Mars, Venus and Mercury, and from the size distributions of asteroid populations. Old craters from a unique period of heavy bombardment that

Surface Geology of Jupiter’s Trojan Asteroids
Space Science Reviews, 2023 AbstractThe surface geology of Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids is one of the scientific investigations of the NASALucymission. A dedicated Geology Working Group will implement these studies using primarily panchromatic and color imaging data and complement the interpretation of these data with theoretical models, such as collisional evolution models ...

Albedo heterogeneity on the surface of (1943) Anteros [PDF]
, 2009 We have investigated the effect of rotation on the polarization of scattered light for the near-Earth asteroid (1943) Anteros using the Dual Beam Imaging Polarimeter on the University of Hawaii's 2.2 m telescope.

Laboratory impact splash experiments to simulate asteroid surfaces [PDF]
Icarus, 2020 Granular material that is bound by the low gravity of a small asteroid is mobilized by slow velocity impacts. These splashes generated by impacts might play an important role in sculpting the asteroid's surface. In laboratory experiments we characterize the ejecta generated by spherical 150 $\rm m$ diameter basalt grains impacting a granular bed at 0.

ADAM: a general method for using various data types in asteroid reconstruction [PDF]
, 2015 We introduce ADAM, the All-Data Asteroid Modelling algorithm. ADAM is simple and universal since it handles all disk-resolved data types (adaptive optics or other images, interferometry, and range-Doppler radar data) in a uniform manner via the 2D ...
