Gravity-Assist might be a Solution to Save Earth from Global Warming [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2023 Global warming is one of the problems of human civilization and decarbonization policy is the main solution to this problem. In this work, we propose an alternative method of using the gravity assist by the asteroids to increase the orbital distance of ...

V-type Asteroids as the Origin of Mesosiderites
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We present the results of a campaign of hypervelocity impact experiments on natural mesosiderite targets, using representative main asteroid belt impact speeds. The objective is to document further the surface evolution of iron-rich asteroids.

A Spectroscopic Comparison of HED Meteorites and V-type Asteroids in the Inner Main Belt [PDF]
, 2010 V-type asteroids in the inner Main Belt (a < 2.5 AU) and the HED meteorites are thought to be genetically related to one another as collisional fragments from the surface of the large basaltic asteroid 4 Vesta.

Distribution of shape elongations of main belt asteroids derived from Pan-STARRS1 photometry [PDF]
, 2017 Context. A lot of photometric data is produced by surveys such as Pan-STARRS, LONEOS, WISE or Catalina. These data are a rich source of information about the physical properties of asteroids. There are several possible approaches for utilizing these data.

The Mid-plane of the Main Asteroid Belt [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2018 Abstract We measure the mid-plane of the main asteroid belt by using the observational data of a nearly complete and unbiased sample of asteroids and find that it has inclination and longitude of ascending node

Main belt binary asteroidal systems with circular mutual orbits☆ [PDF]
Icarus, 2008 In 2003, we initiated a long-term adaptive optics campaign to study the orbit of various main-belt asteroidal systems. Here we present a consistent solution for the mutual orbits of four binary systems: 22 Kalliope, 45 Eugenia, 107 Camilla and 762 Pulcova.

Active Asteroid 311P/PanSTARRS: Rotational Instability as the Origin of its Multitails?
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The active asteroid 311P/PanSTARRS is one of the two targets of the planned Chinese asteroid exploration mission Tianwen-2. During 2013, 311P experienced several mass-loss events and exhibited multiple comet-like tails. Here we analyze the morphology and
