Xenoliths in meteorites: Insights into the dynamics of material exchange between asteroids
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract A minor fraction of meteorites contains xenoliths, that is, clasts that were formed on a different parent body than that of the host lithology. The occurrence of xenoliths is direct evidence for the exchange of material between asteroids, including exchanges between asteroids from the carbonaceous (CC) and non‐carbonaceous (NC) reservoirs ...

Tectonic Re‐Organization and Onset of South Caspian Escape Tectonics at 1.8–2.4 Ma
Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.We show that the presently active tectonics of the South Caspian began relatively recently, likely in the range 1.8–2.4 Myr and replacing an older tectonic configuration ending in the Miocene at ~6 Ma. The various short‐lived stages in the destruction of the South Caspian have potential for insight into the late stages of basin closure and the ...

Sublimation-driven fragmentation of icy dust aggregates in main-belt comets
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. The post-release fragmentation behavior of dust from main-belt comets (MBCs) significantly alters the particle size distribution and number density, thereby affecting the accuracy of dust impact risk assessments for spacecraft. Aims.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.Abstract Ultra‐low‐frequency waves in the magnetosphere often produce field line resonances with strong spatial gradients in wave amplitude. We analyze a form of drift resonance driven by these gradients near the resonant field line. This mechanism differs fundamentally from conventional gradient‐ and curvature‐driven drift resonance and predicts an ...

Overview of Water-Ice in Asteroids—Targets of a Revolution by LSST and JWST
UniverseWater-ice occurs inside many minor bodies almost throughout the Solar System. To have an overview of the inventory of water-ice in asteroids, beside the general characteristics of their activity, examples are presented with details, including the Hilda ...

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Testing the comet nature of main belt comets. The spectra of 133P/Elst-Pizarro and 176P/LINEAR [PDF]
, 2011 Context. Dynamically, 133P/Elst-Pizarro and 176P/LINEAR are main belt asteroids, likely members of the Themis collisional family, and unlikely of cometary origin.
