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.

Enhancing the Resilience of Platinum Group Metal Supply Chains: Mine to (Re)use

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Platinum group metals (PGMs) are critical elements that play a vital role in sustainable energy transition technologies such as catalysts, hydrogen production and use, and electronics. Securing a resilient PGM supply chain would support the current industrial, societal, and economic infrastructure.

The proximities of asteroids and critical points of the distance function [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2010
The proximities are important for different purposes, for example to evaluate the risk of collisions of asteroids or comets with the Solar-System planets.

Spectral and Spin Measurement of Two Small and Fast-Rotating Near-Earth Asteroids

open access: yes, 2012
In May 2012 two asteroids made near-miss "grazing" passes at distances of a few Earth-radii: 2012 KP24 passed at nine Earth-radii and 2012 KT42 at only three Earth-radii. The latter passed inside the orbital distance of geosynchronous satellites.

A Systemic Reflection On Why Biology Is Best : E(s) ∞$$ \infty $$ mc2 Sentience, Consciousness and Transcendance?

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The short essay makes a case that a post biological world will be a devolution. Sentience is a relational process linked with the awe and wonder we experience in relation to one another and our shared habitat. The voiceless need to be protected by extending solidarity on the basis of sentience—a normative plea, but also on the basis of ...

The Brazil nut effect and its application to asteroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Out of the handful of asteroids that have been imaged, some have distributions of blocks that are not easily explained. In this paper, we investigate the possibility that seismic shaking leads to the size sorting of particles in asteroids. In particular,

Asteroids [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1986
Using a number of different conventional observing methods of astronomy like spectrophotometry, polarimetry, IR-radiometry and UBV-photometry, physical properties of asteroids can be derived, such as diameters, spectral reflectivity and albedo. Based on observable parameters a classification in terms of taxonomic types can be made and the mineralogy of

Tools for Learning—Promoting Reflection for Student Teachers' Development of PCK

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how the coherent integration of three different tools for reflection during a science methods course can contribute to student teachers' planning and enactment of science teaching, that is, their development of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).

Rosetta Asteroid Candidates [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 2005
AbstractThe new scenario of the Rosetta mission to comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko (launch on February 2004), includes as baseline the fly-by of one or two asteroids. Several asteroids are now possible fly-by candidates (single or double) within the available resources.

The distribution of asteroids: evidence from Antarctic micrometeorites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The relative abundances of types amongst 550 AMMs are reported. These suggest that C-type asteroids vary from petrologic type 1 to 3.2 and that the majority of S-type asteroids are chondrule ...
