On the consequences of a fragmentation due to a NEO mitigation strategy [PDF]
, 2008 The fragmentation of an Earth threatening asteroid as a result of a hazard mitigation mission is examined in this paper. The minimum required energy for a successful impulsive deflection of a threatening object is computed and compared with the energy ...

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1077-1094, June 2026.Abstract Samples returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission from the carbonaceous asteroid (101955) Bennu hold clues about conditions in the early solar system and the formation of planetary bodies. Initial investigation of Bennu samples found that they are rich in phyllosilicates and other secondary minerals formed during aqueous alteration of a larger ...

Impact cratering experiments into highly porous bodies
, 2011 Asteroids represent both an opportunity and a risk. Their pristine environment captures the early collision evolution of the solar system; while their inherent ground impact potential could result in the mass extinction of life.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1026-1044, June 2026.Abstract Asteroid compositional analysis relies on comparing reflectance spectra with laboratory data from well‐characterized meteorites. To advance this comparison, we performed a comprehensive laboratory analysis on a slab of the Northwest Africa (NWA) 7317—CR6 carbonaceous chondrite.

Near-Earth asteroid resource accessibility and future capture mission opportunities
, 2012 In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) has always been suggested for ambitious space endeavours; and asteroids and comets in particular are generally agreed to be ideal sources, both in terms of its accessibility and wealth.

, 1998 The results from photometric lightcurve observations of nine M-type asteroids are presented. New rotation periods were determined for 6 asteroids: 217 Eudora (12.54 h), 322 Phaeo (17.56 h), 572 Rebekka (5.65 h), 757 Portland (6.58 h), 857 Glasenappia (

On the orbital (in)stability of Trojan asteroids in the solar system
, 2013 Jupiter and Neptune have currently large populations of asteroids orbiting about their L4 and L5 Lagrange points, also called Trojan asteroids. Because Trojans can evolve on stable orbits with lifetimes over Gyr, the study of these objects can provide ...

Combustion and Pyrolysis EA‐IRMS Techniques to Determine the δ2H of Diamonds
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 10, 30 May 2026.ABSTRACT Rationale Diamonds are generally considered to be metasomatic minerals originating from the Earth's mantle. They formed through the interaction of carbon‐bearing fluids or melts with the surrounding deep lithology. Most knowledge about the formation of diamonds comes from studying their mineral inclusions or stable isotopes.

An L1 positioned dust cloud as an effective method of space-based geoengineering
, 2010 In this paper a method of geoengineering is proposed involving clouds of dust placed in the vicinity of the L1 point as an alternative to the use of thin film reflectors.
