A Spectroscopic Comparison of HED Meteorites and V-type Asteroids in the Inner Main Belt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
V-type asteroids in the inner Main Belt (a < 2.5 AU) and the HED meteorites are thought to be genetically related to one another as collisional fragments from the surface of the large basaltic asteroid 4 Vesta.

Aqueous alteration on main belt primitive asteroids: results from visible spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2014
This work focuses on the study of the aqueous alteration process which acted in the main belt and produced hydrated minerals on the altered asteroids.

Period-Multiplying Bifurcations in the Gravitational Field of Asteroids

open access: yesAerospace
Periodic orbit families around asteroids serve as potential trajectories for space probes, mining facilities, and deep space stations. Bifurcations of these families provide additional candidate orbits for efficient trajectory design around asteroids ...

AVAST Survey 0.4-1.0 {\mu}m Spectroscopy of Igneous Asteroids in the Inner and Middle Main Belt

open access: yes, 2012
We present the spectra of 60 asteroids, including 47 V-types observed during the first phase of the Adler V-Type Asteroid (AVAST) Survey. SDSS photometry was used to select candidate V-type asteroids for follow up by nature of their very blue $i-z$ color.

The 3 $\mu$m Spectrum of Jupiter's Irregular Satellite Himalia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present a medium resolution spectrum of Jupiter's irregular satellite Himalia covering the critical 3 $\mu$m spectral region. The spectrum shows no evidence for aqueously altered phyllosilicates, as had been suggested from the tentative detection of a

Research of resonant motion of Apollo asteroids with inner planets

open access: yesVestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2007
We study the resonant motion of Apollo asteroids with inner planets (Venus, Earth, Mars). It is shown that 1760 among 2026 Apollo asteroids move in resonance with one, two or three inner planets.

Scattering V-type asteroids during the giant planets instability: A step for Jupiter, a leap for basalt

open access: yes, 2017
V-type asteroids are a taxonomic class whose surface is associated to a basaltic composition. The only known source of V-type asteroids in the Main Asteroid Belt is (4) Vesta, that is located in the inner part of the belt.

Neil Gehrels–Swift Observatory’s Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope Observations of Small Bodies in the Solar System

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
The Neil–Gehrels Swift Observatory has added extensively to our understanding of small bodies in our solar system through its capabilities to rapidly respond to short-live events such as outbursts and collisions, through its near-ultraviolet coverage ...

Distribution of spin-axes longitudes and shape elongations of main-belt asteroids

open access: yes, 2016
Context: Large all-sky surveys provide us with a lot of photometric data that are sparse in time (typically few measurements per night) and can be potentially used for the determination of shapes and rotational states of asteroids.

Near-Earth Asteroids as Possible Parent Bodies of Meteor Streams [PDF]

open access: yesУчёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2016
The genetic relationship of meteor streams with near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) is being actively studied. A genetic link with the asteroid is possible only for streams in which meteoroids have the geocentric speed smaller than 50 km/s, thereby meaning the ...
