JWST Near-infrared Spectroscopy of High-albedo Jupiter Trojans: A New Surface Type in the Trojan Belt

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We present 0.8–5 μ m JWST spectra of four  ~20 km diameter Jupiter Trojans known to have albedos elevated above the values typical in the remaining Trojan population.

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...

The Trojan-like Colors of Low-perihelion Kuiper Belt Objects

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
An important testable prediction of dynamical instability models for the early evolution of the solar system is that Jupiter Trojans share a source population with the Kuiper Belt.

Boulders on Bennu: Low Apparent Thermal Inertia Caused by Thermal Fatigue Fractures

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract Boulders covering the surfaces of asteroids Bennu and Ryugu have apparent thermal inertias substantially lower than their meteorite analogs. This has led to the inference that boulders on Bennu may be unlike any known meteorite. However, samples returned from Ryugu have a thermal inertia 3.5 times higher than the apparent thermal inertia ...

Survival of water ice in Jupiter Trojans [PDF]

open access: yesIcarus, 2014
Jupiter Trojans appear to be a key population of small bodies to study and test the models of the Solar System formation and evolution. Because understanding the evolution of Trojans can bring strong and unique constraints on the origins of our planetary system, a significant observational effort has been undertaken to unveil their physical ...

On the inclinations of the Jupiter Trojans [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2019
Jupiter Trojans are a resonant asteroidal population characterised by photometric colours that are compatible with trans-Neptunian objects, high inclinations, and an asymmetric distribution of the number of asteroids between the two swarms. Different models have been proposed to explain the high inclination of the Trojans and to interpret their ...

Deep Space Network Radio Science and Ground‐Based Planetary Radar in the Next Decade

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 60, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The Deep Space Network (DSN) has been a core operational element of NASA's crewed and robotic exploration of the Solar System since the early 1960s. The primary role of the DSN has been to acquire telemetry and navigation data, but over the years, its radiometric and radar capabilities have expanded to form a system for obtaining unique ...

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.
