Search for Aqueously Altered Materials on Asteroids

Icarus, 1998
Abstract The analysis of visible and near-infrared reflectance spectra of C-class objects has revealed the presence of features that appear to indicate a history of aqueous alteration on their surfaces. This result can provide constraints on our understanding of the early Solar System.

Search techniques for near-Earth asteroids

Vistas in Astronomy, 1990
Knowledge of the near-earth asteroids (Apollo, Amor, and Aten groups) has increased enormously over the last 10 to 15 years. This has been due in large part to the success of programs that have systematically searched for these objects. These programs have been motivated by the apparent relationships of the near-earth asteroids to terrestrial impact ...

SST asteroid search performance 2014–2017

2018 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2018
From 2014 to 2017, the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program performed wide-area asteroid search using the 3.5-m Space Surveillance Telescope (SST) located on Atom Peak at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. The SST was developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT/LL) for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to advance the ...

Asteroid Scare Provokes Soul-Searching

Science, 1998
SCIENCE AND THE PRESSLast week, astronomers created a media storm by announcing that an asteroid could collide with Earth in 2028, only to revise the estimates hours later. To head off future false alarms, some astronomers are now calling for word of such threats to first go out to a small community of colleagues so they can come to a consensus before ...

Asteroid Searches from UKST Material

1992
The UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST) has been involved in asteroid work since 1979, initially on the UK-Caltech Asteroid Survey (UCAS) and more recently with the Lowell-UK Asteroid Survey (LUKAS). In addition to these major programs, a number of smaller projects have been undertaken. These include searches for Trojan asteroids of Saturn and Jupiter, distant

Asteroid families—An initial search

Icarus, 1992
A stereo examination was conducted for clusters in three-dimensional proper element space within a sample of both numbered and faint Palomar-Leiden Survey (PLS) asteroids. The clusters were then objectively filtered for small Poisson probability of chance occurrence; 104 were accepted as families with 4- to 12-member populations, and are interpreted as

Search for solar wind–asteroid interactions at Eros

Advances in Space Research, 2004
The solar wind interaction with the asteroid 433 Eros is investigated using magnetometer data from the NEAR-Shoemaker spacecraft. From February 2000 to February 2001 NEAR-Shoemaker orbited Eros in nearly circular orbits having radii of 200, 100, 50 and 35 km.

Asteroid Families: Search of a 12,487-Asteroid Sample Using Two Different Clustering Techniques

Icarus, 1995
A sample of over 12,487 asteroid proper element triplets, computed by A. Milani and Z. Kneževic (1994, Icarus 107, 219-254), has been searched for statistically significant and robust families by both the hierarchical clustering (HCM) and the wavelet analysis (WAM) automated techniques.
