Abstract Recent advances in AI enable the automatic generation of visualizations directly from textual prompts using agentic workflows. However, visualizations produced via one‐shot generative methods often suffer from insufficient quality, typically requiring a human in the loop to refine the outputs.

Consequences of asteroid fragmentation during impact hazard mitigation [PDF]
The consequences of the fragmentation of an Earth-threatening asteroid due to an attempted deflection are examined in this paper. The minimum required energy for a successful impulsive deflection of a threatening object is computed and compared to the ...

Assessment on the feasibility of future shepherding of asteroid resources [PDF]
Most plausible futures for space exploration and exploitation require a large mass in Earth orbit. Delivering this mass requires overcoming the Earth's natural gravity well, which imposes a distinct obstacle to any future space venture.

Evidence of Possible Spectral Variability in the Patroclus–Menoetius Binary System
We present new visible-wavelength spectroscopic observations of the Patroclus–Menoetius binary system in the Jupiter Trojan population. Motivated by previously published spectra from different instruments that showed evidence of significant longitudinal ...

One‐more‐vertex Next‐Event Estimation with Hierarchical Geometry Sampling
Abstract Robust next‐event estimation (NEE) remains a challenge in scenes characterized by sparse or small‐scale geometry where indirect illumination is the primary transport mechanism. In these scenes, traditional path construction, which relies on local directional sampling, often fails to find intersections with the sparse geometry, and standard NEE

Asteroid resource map for near-Earth space [PDF]
Most future concepts for the exploration and exploitation of space require a large initial mass in low Earth orbit. Delivering this required mass from the Earth’s surface increases cost due to the large energy input necessary to move mass out of the ...

Keck and Gemini Characterization of Hayabusa2# Rendezvous Target 1998 KY26
Near-Earth object (NEO) 1998 KY _26 is a target of the Hayabusa2# spacecraft, which it will rendezvous with in 2031 July. The asteroid has been noted to rotate rapidly and has a large out-of-plane nongravitational acceleration.

Abstract Regolith samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu were stowed and delivered to Earth in the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft's Sample Return Capsule (SRC). We applied multiple analytical techniques to study the components of the post‐flight SRC, with a focus on assessing the conditions and any contaminants to which the Bennu samples were exposed ...

Xenoliths in meteorites: Insights into the dynamics of material exchange between asteroids
Abstract A minor fraction of meteorites contains xenoliths, that is, clasts that were formed on a different parent body than that of the host lithology. The occurrence of xenoliths is direct evidence for the exchange of material between asteroids, including exchanges between asteroids from the carbonaceous (CC) and non‐carbonaceous (NC) reservoirs ...
