The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt
, 2015 The past decade has brought major improvements in large-scale asteroid discovery and characterization with over half a million known asteroids and over 100,000 with some measurement of physical characterization.

Brightness variation distributions among main belt asteroids from sparse light curve sampling with Pan-STARRS 1 [PDF]
, 2016 The rotational state of asteroids is controlled by various physical mechanisms including collisions, internal damping and the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect. We have analysed the changes in magnitude between consecutive detections of

Small but mighty: Impact hazards from iron Near‐Earth Objects
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Small asteroids can impact Earth unexpectedly, as demonstrated by the Chelyabinsk event in 2013. The warning times are likely to be short, and the first tools for fast hazard predictions have been developed in the last years for encounters with rocky or cometary objects, which quickly fragment in the atmosphere and cause airbursts. However, in

A Pre-flyby View on the Origin of Asteroid Donaldjohanson, a Target of the NASA Lucy Mission
The Planetary Science JournalThe NASA Lucy mission is scheduled to fly by the main-belt asteroid (52246) Donaldjohanson on 2025 April 20. Donaldjohanson (DJ hereafter) is a member of the primitive (C-type class) Erigone collisional asteroid family located in the inner main belt in ...

Rotation periods for small main-belt asteroids [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2004 The results of new CCD observations are presented as part of the campaign we are performing in Brazil to measure rotational periods for small asteroids. The observations presented here have been acquired at the Pico dos Dias Observatory between 1997 and 2002 and result in 48 single night lightcurves for 20 asteroids, most of them Main-Belt objects with

Rapid terrestrial weathering of the CI1 carbonaceous chondrite find Oued Chebeika 002
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Alteration of historic CI1 meteorite falls during their curation demonstrates the susceptibility of smectite‐rich carbonaceous chondrites to terrestrial exposure. The discovery of Oued Chebeika 002 in Morocco in June 2024 presents a unique opportunity to document the earliest stages of weathering of a CI1 find.
