The distribution of basaltic asteroids in the Main Belt [PDF]

Icarus, 2008
We present the observational results of a survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as candidates for having a basaltic composition. Fifty basaltic candidates were selected with orbital elements that lie outside of the Vesta dynamical family.

A Population of Comets in the Main Asteroid Belt

Science, 2006
Comets are icy bodies that sublimate and become active when close to the Sun. They are believed to originate in two cold reservoirs beyond the orbit of Neptune: the Kuiper Belt (equilibrium temperatures of ∼40 kelvin) and the Oort Cloud (∼10 kelvin).

Subaru Main Belt Asteroid Survey (SMBAS)—Size and color distributions of small main-belt asteroids

Planetary and Space Science, 2007
Abstract Since February, 2001, we have been conducting a series of survey observations to investigate the physical property of very small Main Belt Asteroids (sub-km MBAs) using the Subaru prime-focus camera (Suprime-Cam) attached to the 8.2 m Subaru telescope. We call our surveys “SMBAS: Subaru Main-Belt Asteroids Survey”.

Asteroid Proper Elements and the Dynamical Structure of the Asteroid Main Belt

Icarus, 1994
Abstract We have computed proper elements for 12,573 asteroids, including all the ones with orbits accurate enough to be useful for family identification. This was done with an upgraded version of our iterative analytical algorithm, resulting in significantly improved accuracy for most asteroids in the low to moderate inclination and eccentricity ...

Discovery of a Basaltic Asteroid in the Outer Main Belt

Science, 2000
Visible and near-infrared spectroscopic observations of the asteroid 1459 Magnya indicate that it has a basaltic surface. Magnya is at 3.15 astronomical units (AU) from the sun and has no known dynamical link to any family, to any nearby large asteroid, or to asteroid 4 Vesta at 2.36 AU, which is the only other known large basaltic asteroid.

The Main Belt as a Source of Near-Earth Asteroids

Earth, Moon, and Planets, 1996
We investigate the flux of main-belt asteroid fragments into resonant orbits converting them into near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), and the variability of this flux due to chance inter asteroid al collisions. A numerical model is used, based on collision al physics consistent with the results of laboratory impact experiments.

The recent breakup of an asteroid in the main-belt region

Nature, 2002
The present population of asteroids in the main belt is largely the result of many past collisions. Ideally, the asteroid fragments resulting from each impact event could help us understand the large-scale collisions that shaped the planets during early epochs.
