Intense aqueous alteration on C-type asteroids: Perspectives from giant fine-grained micrometeorites [PDF]
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2019 Abstract This study explores the petrology of five giant (>400 μm) hydrated fine-grained micrometeorites from the Transantarctic Mountain (TAM) micrometeorite collection. For the first time, the extent and mechanisms of aqueous alteration in unmelted cosmic dust are evaluated and quantified.

JBILET WINSELWAN; A STEP TOWARD UNDERSTANDING THE COMPOSITION OF C-TYPE ASTEROIDS [PDF]
Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs, 2016 AbstractJbilet Winselwan is one of the largest CM carbonaceous chondrites available for study. Its light, major, and trace elemental compositions are within the range of other CM chondrites. Chondrules are surrounded by dusty rims and set within a matrix of phyllosilicates, oxides, and sulfides.

Taxonomic Classification of Asteroids Using the KMTNet Multiband Photometry Data Set
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We report the multiband photometry of asteroids observed over 14 nights from 2015 December to 2017 December using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network telescopes with the taxonomic classification of those objects. The data set contains the photometry

Characteristics and large bulk density of the C-type main-belt triple asteroid (93) Minerva [PDF]
Icarus, 2013 From a set of adaptive optics (AO) observations collected with the W.M. Keck telescope between August and September 2009, we derived the orbital parameters of the most recently discovered satellites of the large C-type asteroid (93) Minerva. The satellites of Minerva, which are approximately 3 and 4 km in diameter, orbit very close to the primary $\sim$

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Low thermal conductivity boulder with high porosity identified on C-type asteroid (162173) Ryugu [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2019 C-type asteroids are among the most pristine objects in the Solar System, but little is known about their interior structure and surface properties. Telescopic thermal infrared observations have so far been interpreted in terms of a regolith-covered surface with low thermal conductivity and particle sizes in the centimetre range.
