Ancient and primordial collisional families as the main sources of X-type asteroids of the inner main belt [PDF]
A&A 624, A69 (2019), 2019 Aims. The near-Earth asteroid population suggests the existence of an inner main belt source of asteroids that belongs to the spectroscopic X complex and has moderate albedos. The identification of such a source has been lacking so far. We argue that the

Compositional Diversity Among Primitive Asteroids [PDF]
, 2018 Spectroscopic observations from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared have revealed new and diagnostic differences among primitive asteroids. We review the spectral characteristics of these asteroids and their inferred compositional and physical properties.

MAIN-BELT ASTEROIDS WITH WISE/NEOWISE: NEAR-INFRARED ALBEDOS [PDF]
, 2014 We present revised near-infrared albedo fits of 2835 main-belt asteroids observed by WISE/NEOWISE over the course of its fully cryogenic survey in 2010.

MAIN-BELT ASTEROIDS IN THE K2 ENGINEERING FIELD OF VIEW [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2015 Unlike NASA’s original Kepler Discovery Mission, the renewed K2 Mission will target the plane of the Ecliptic, observing each field for approximately 75 days.

A six-part collisional model of the main asteroid belt [PDF]
Icarus, 2014 In this work, we construct a new model for the collisional evolution of the main asteroid belt. Our goals are to test the scaling law of Benz and Asphaug (1999) and ascertain if it can be used for the whole belt. We want to find initial size-frequency distributions (SFDs) for the considered six parts of the belt (inner, middle, 'pristine', outer ...

Size Distributions of Bluish and Reddish Small Main-belt Asteroids Obtained by Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2021 We performed a wide-field survey observation of small asteroids using the Hyper Suprime-Cam installed on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. We detected more than 3000 main-belt asteroids with a detection limit of 24.2 mag in the r-band, which were classified ...

Recent arrivals to the main asteroid belt [PDF]
Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2022 AbstractThe region where the main asteroid belt is now located may have started empty, to become populated early in the history of the Solar system with material scattered outward by the terrestrial planets and inward by the giant planets. These dynamical pathways toward the main belt may still be active today.

Thermal properties of large main-belt asteroids observed by Herschel PACS [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Non-resolved thermal infrared observations enable studies of thermal and physical properties of asteroids via thermo-physical models provided the shape and rotational properties of the target are well determined.
