THE COLLISIONAL EVOLUTION OF UNDIFFERENTIATED ASTEROIDS AND THE FORMATION OF CHONDRITIC METEOROIDS [PDF]
, 2016 Most meteorites are fragments from recent collisions experienced in the asteroid belt. In such a hypervelocity collision, the smaller collision partner is destroyed, whereas a crater on the asteroid is formed or it is entirely disrupted, too. The present

Small Near-Earth Asteroids as a Source of Meteorites [PDF]
, 2015 Small asteroids intersecting Earth's orbit can deliver extraterrestrial rocks to the Earth, called meteorites. This process is accompanied by a luminous phenomena in the atmosphere, called bolides or fireballs.

Research of resonant motion of Apollo asteroids with inner planets
Vestnik 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.

Asteroid Spin-Rate Study using the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory [PDF]
, 2015 Two dedicated asteroid rotation-period surveys have been carried out using data taken on January 6-9 and February 20-23 of 2014 by the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) in the $R$~band with $\sim 20$-min cadence. The total survey area covered

New and updated convex shape models of asteroids based on optical data from a large collaboration network [PDF]
, 2015 Context. Asteroid modeling efforts in the last decade resulted in a comprehensive dataset of almost 400 convex shape models and their rotation states. These efforts already provided deep insight into physical properties of main-belt asteroids or large ...

Period-Multiplying Bifurcations in the Gravitational Field of Asteroids
AerospacePeriodic 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
, 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.

Formation and Evolution of Binary Asteroids [PDF]
, 2015 Satellites of asteroids have been discovered in nearly every known small body population, and a remarkable aspect of the known satellites is the diversity of their properties.
