Multi‐isotope (N, O, Ti, and Cr) study of C1 and CM‐like clasts—Probing unsampled C1 material

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A multi‐element isotope (N, O, Ti, and Cr) study was conducted on C1 and CM‐like clasts hosted in achondrites and chondrite breccias to understand the genesis of these chondritic clasts. The mineralogy, O, and N isotopes confirm that CM‐like clasts in howardites and polymict eucrites closely resemble CM chondrite‐like material.

Quantifying hazards: asteroid disruption in lunar distant retrograde orbits [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) proposes to retrieve a near-Earth asteroid and position it in a lunar distant retrograde orbit (DRO) for later study, crewed exploration, and ultimately resource exploitation. During the Caltech Space Challenge, a recent workshop to design a crewed mission to a captured asteroid in a DRO, it became apparent that the ...

The petrology of the Ozerki meteorite constrained by electron backscatter diffraction and X‐ray computed tomography

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Combining electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) with X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) offers a comprehensive approach to investigate shock deformation and rock texture in meteorites, yet such integration remains uncommon. In this study, we demonstrate the synergistic potential of XCT and EBSD in revealing deformation metrics, thereby ...

Asteroid spin-rate studies using large sky-field surveys

Geoscience Letters, 2017
Eight campaigns to survey asteroid rotation periods have been carried out using the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory in the past 3 years. 2780 reliable rotation periods were obtained, from which we identified two new super-fast rotators (SFRs ...

Origin of Martian Moons from Binary Asteroid Dissociation [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
The origin of the Martian moons Deimos and Phobos is controversial. One hypothesis for their origin is that they are captured asteroids, but the mechanism requires an extremely dense martian atmosphere, and the mechanism by which an asteroid in solar orbit could shed sufficient orbital energy to be captured into Mars orbit has not been well elucidated.

Hydration and dehydration of CM chondrites revealed by X‐ray diffraction combined with textural observations and compositional data

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The in‐plane rotation method is used to obtain X‐ray random diffraction (XRD) patterns of polished thin sections of 10 CM chondrites. The samples include five intermediately altered CM chondrites with subtypes 2.6–2.3, two heavily altered CM chondrites with subtype 2.0 and three with secondary heating after hydration (Y 980036, Y 980051, and ...

Evidence for Phosphate Metasomatism in an Olivine‐Rich Achondrites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachinites, brachinite‐like achondrites (BLA), and other similar primitive achondrites offer important constraints on differentiation processes of the earliest formed planetesimals, as they quenched amidst early differentiation processes on their parent body. Geochemical data for all major mineral phases in two previously poorly characterized

Approximation of asteroids gravitational fields by the gravitational doublet

Вісник Астрономічної школи, 2000
The possibility of the approximation of asteroids gravitational fields by the gravitational doublet (the problem of two fixed centers) is considered with the assumption, that asteroids can be represented as homogeneous ellipsoids of revolution or as ...
