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 ...
