Searching for minor absorptions on D-type asteroids [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 AbstractPreferably located in the outer main belt, D-type asteroids experienced less heating and represent an important population for studies on the origin and evolution of the asteroid belt, as well as the relations between asteroidal and cometary bodies.

A Heuristic Search Algorithm for Asteroid Tour Missions
, 2018 Since the discovery of Ceres, asteroids have been of immense scientific interest and intrigue. They hold answers to many of the fundamental questionsabout the formation and evolution of the Solar System. Therefore, a missionsurveying the asteroid belt with close encounter of carefully chosen asteroidswould be of immense scientific benefit.

Search for Aqueously Altered Materials on Asteroids
Icarus, 1998Abstract 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, 1990Knowledge 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 ...

Comets and asteroids: searches and scares
Advances in Space Research, 2004Abstract Concern that the Earth might be struck by a comet, with potentially devasting consequences, dates back some two centuries. With the growing appreciation in the twentieth century that asteroidal impacts are also a danger, search programs have been devised in the hope of discovering a specific hazard at least decades, and probably centuries or

Asteroid families—An initial search
Icarus, 1992A 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

Asteroid Scare Provokes Soul-Searching
Science, 1998SCIENCE 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
1992The 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
