Distant Formation and Differentiation of Outer Main Belt Asteroids and Carbonaceous Chondrite Parent Bodies

open access: yesAGU Advances, 2022
Volatile compositions of asteroids provide information on the Solar System history and the origins of Earth's volatiles. Visible to near‐infrared observations at wavelengths of 4) and low temperatures (10 au) and could be transported to their current ...

Anticipating Formation Trends of Binary and Multiple Asteroids in the Main Asteroid Belt Due to Electric Discharge Effects by Using the relation of the Sun's Activity and Binary Asteroids Aggregation Statistics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Asteroids are classified as tiny and light objects in the solar system, however some of them possess orbiting moons. According to surveys, 15% of near-earth asteroids have moons. The Electrical Discharge effect provides a new model that describes the formation of single, binary, and triple asteroids influenced by solar magnetic activity.

Compositional Diversity Among Primitive Asteroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Spectroscopic observations from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared have revealed new and diagnostic differences among primitive asteroids. We review the spectral characteristics of these asteroids and their inferred compositional and physical properties.

EURONEAR: Data mining of asteroids and Near Earth Asteroids [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, 2009
AbstractBesides new observations, mining old photographic plates and CCD image archives represents an opportunity to recover and secure newly discovered asteroids, also to improve the orbits of Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs), Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) and Virtual Impactors (VIs). These are the main research aims of the EURONEAR network.

Past aridity and dust drove biodiversity crises and altered pollination in the ancient gymnosperm Ephedra (Gnetales)

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The long‐term effects of present‐day climate change on pollination are unquantified. However, distinguishing climatic drivers of ancient changes in pollination could provide valuable insights into biotic responses to near‐future climate states.

Comparative Mid-infrared Spectroscopy of Dark, Primitive Asteroids: Does Shared Taxonomic Class Indicate Shared Silicate Composition?

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Primitive asteroids with low albedos and red slopes in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) are found in both the main belt and the Jupiter Trojan clouds.

Development of an Empirical Model of the Force between Paramagnetic Particles in Uniform Magnetic Field on M-type Asteroids

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
M-type asteroids may have remanent magnetic fields. Regolith particles on M-type asteroids are likely to have metallic components, causing them to be paramagnetic and respond to an external magnetic field.

Time and phase resolved optical spectra of potentially hazardous asteroid 2014 JO25 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The asteroid 2014 JO25, considered to be "potentially hazardous" by the Minor Planet Center, was spectroscopically followed during its close-Earth encounter on 19th and 20th of April 2017. The spectra of the asteroid were taken with the low resolution spectrograph (LISA), mounted on the 1.2-m telescope at the Mount Abu Infrared Observatory, India ...

A survey of ocular pathology in Warmblood horses in South Africa

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Warmblood horses are a popular breed around the world for equestrian sports. Previous studies have investigated ocular findings in other breeds of horses; however, no studies exist for the Warmblood breed. Objectives To determine the prevalence of ocular abnormalities in a convenience sample of Warmblood horses in South Africa and ...

Infrared Colors of Small Serendipitously Found Asteroids in the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The UKIRT Hemisphere Survey covers the northern sky in the infrared from 0° to 60° decl. Current data releases include both J and K bands, with H -band data forthcoming. Here, we present a novel pipeline to recover asteroids from this survey data.
