Observations and Quantitative Compositional Analysis of Ceres, Pallas, and Hygiea Using JWST/NIRSpec
The Planetary Science JournalWe present JWST Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) measurements of the three largest low-albedo main-belt asteroids: (1) Ceres, (2) Pallas, and (10) Hygiea.

Nature CommunicationsRubble pile asteroids are widely understood to be composed of reaccumulated debris following a catastrophic collision between asteroids in the main asteroid belt, where each disruption can make a family of new asteroids.

Photometry and Models of Seven Main-Belt Asteroids
UniverseThe China Near-Earth Object Survey Telescope (CNEOST) conducted four photometric surveys from 2015 to 2018 using image processing and aperture photometry techniques to obtain extensive light curve data on asteroids. The second-order Fourier series method

The distribution of mantle material among main-belt asteroids
, 2014 International audienceWe expect there to have been many bodies in the Main Asteroid Belt (MB) sufficiently heated at the time of solar system formation to allow their interiors to differentiate into an iron core and silicate-rich crust and mantle ...

Identifying LL Chondrite Near-Earth Asteroids Using LL Chondrite Reflectance Spectra
The Astrophysical Journal LettersMost near-Earth objects are thought to originate from the collisional fragments of the main asteroid belt. One question that remains to be resolved is the proportion of near-Earth objects sampling the core area material of the parent body to the outer ...

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 ...

Subaru Lightcurve Observations of Sub-km-sized Main-belt Asteroids
, 2014 Investigations of the spin period and shape distributions for a certain asteroid group using their lightcurve observations are essential to understand collisional evolution of that group.

The Lifetime of Ice on Main Belt Asteroids
The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 We theoretically estimate the loss rate of buried ice from spherical bodies 2-3.3 AU from the Sun. The loss rate is explored as a function of about a dozen parameters. We introduce the concept of a "buried snow line," where the loss of ice is sufficiently slow over the age of the solar system.
