Ryugu Reference Project: Recommendations from the Measurement Definition Team

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Sample return missions play a significant role in planetary science by providing pristine extraterrestrial materials. JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions have returned samples from the C‐type asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, respectively. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of these samples closely resemble those of CI chondrites,

The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt

, 2015
The past decade has brought major improvements in large-scale asteroid discovery and characterization with over half a million known asteroids and over 100,000 with some measurement of physical characterization.

Mountain‐top spherules: Criteria to identify natural and synthetic particles

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are important tracers of geologic and environmental processes in modern and ancient deposits. However, anthropogenic contamination can dilute natural collections by releasing synthetic microspherules into the environment.

The effect of terrestrial weathering on the mineralogy and petrologic (sub)types of CM chondrites explored by kinetic modeling and laboratory experiments

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Terrestrial weathering alters the chemical and isotopic composition, and mineralogy, of meteorites; its effects on ordinary chondrites are well‐studied, but relatively little is known about the susceptibility of carbonaceous chondrites. We combined laboratory experiments, whereby Chwichiya 002 (C3‐ung find), Murchison (CM2 fall) and Kolang ...

Testing the Bus–DeMeo Asteroid Taxonomy Using Meteorite Spectra

The Planetary Science Journal
The most widely used method to spectrally classify asteroids is the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy. To test how well the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy groups asteroids on the basis of their mineralogy, we have classified ∼1500 meteorite spectra using this Bus–DeMeo system ...

Aqueous alteration in C2‐ung Bells through the analysis of carbonates – Does a CR origin ring true?

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Bells is an ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite that has in recent years been proposed as a CR‐an. This link to CR chondrites has previously been identified through the analysis of anhydrous silicates, for example, oxygen isotopic compositions of olivine (Marrocchi et al., 2023).

Particle Accretion in Microgravity. I. Particle Sizes and Bulk Densities

The Planetary Science Journal
The precise mechanisms related to the accretion of protoplanetesimals from dust in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are poorly understood. In order to better understand the early stages of planet formation and the growth of millimeter–centimeter agglomerates,

Report on Antarctic meteorites search around the Sor Rondane Mountains, JARE-29 1988-1989

Antarctic Record, 1990
A systematic search for Antarctic meteorites was carried out by the Asuka winter party of the 29th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition on the bare ice field around the Sφr Rondane Mountains in the 1987-1988 and 1988-1989 field seasons.
