The effect of early diagenetic processes on the quantification of fossil micrometeorite abundance and flux in the geological record

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Millimeter Observations of a Population of Asteroids or: ACTeroids

The Astrophysical Journal
We present fluxes and light curves for a population of asteroids at millimeter wavelengths, detected by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) over 18,000 deg ^2 of the sky using data from 2017 to 2021.

Drelów, the 13th and latest meteorite fall in Poland—A typical L6 chondrite with shock veins

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract On Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 18:04:14 local time, residents of Poland observed a bright fireball registered by many Polish fireball stations belonging to the Skytinel Network established a few months before by Mateusz Żmija. Thus, the meteoroid's orbit, atmospheric trajectory, and the strewn field were calculated, and over 70 fragments ...

Rotationally Resolved Near-infrared Spectroscopy of Three Large Eurybates Family Members

The Planetary Science Journal
The Eurybates family is the largest collisional family in the Jupiter Trojan population. Previous visible spectroscopy of asteroid (3548) Eurybates has shown potential surface heterogeneity due to rotation of the asteroid.

Interpretation of similarity in the negative polarization of comets and C-type asteroids in terms of common properties of asteroidal and cometary dust [PDF]

Earth, Planets and Space, 2011
At small phase angles, the whole coma aperture-averaged linear polarization of comets nearly coincides with that of C-type asteroids. However, the experimental study of light scattering by independent dust particles and regoliths, consisting of exactly the same particles, shows that their negative polarization branches are substantially different ...

Small‐scale elemental abundance variations in Ryugu particles from touchdown 1

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Ryugu materials closely resemble CI chondrites' mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic compositions; yet minor but resolvable differences in certain elemental abundances are evident. In this study, the bulk chemical compositions of eight individual Ryugu particles (1.5–4.3 mg) from the first touchdown site (TD1) were determined using triple ...

3 μm Phase Curves of Main-belt Asteroids from NEOWISE Photometry

The Planetary Science Journal
The shapes of asteroid phase curves are influenced by the physical properties of asteroid surfaces. The variation of an asteroid’s brightness as a function of the solar phase angle can tell us about surface properties such as grain size distribution ...

Formation of telluric planets and the origin of terrestrial water

BIO Web of Conferences, 2014
Simulations of planet formation have failed to reproduce Mars’ small mass (compared with Earth) for 20 years. Here I will present a solution to the Mars problem that invokes large-scale migration of Jupiter and Saturn while they were still embedded in ...

Al‐Khadhaf: The first camera‐observed (H5–6) meteorite fall from Oman

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A fireball camera system installed in 2022 by the Oman Meteorite Monitoring Project (OMMP) as part of the Global Fireball Observatory (GFO) recorded a 3.2 s fireball on March 8, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. UTC. A meteoroid of 4 ± 2 kg entered the atmosphere at 14.0 km/s.

A Pre-flyby View on the Origin of Asteroid Donaldjohanson, a Target of the NASA Lucy Mission

The Planetary Science Journal
The NASA Lucy mission is scheduled to fly by the main-belt asteroid (52246) Donaldjohanson on 2025 April 20. Donaldjohanson (DJ hereafter) is a member of the primitive (C-type class) Erigone collisional asteroid family located in the inner main belt in ...
