A binary main belt comet

open access: yes, 2017
The asteroids are primitive solar system bodies which evolve both collisionally and through disruptions due to rapid rotation [1]. These processes can lead to the formation of binary asteroids [2-4] and to the release of dust [5], both directly and, in ...

The Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distributions of Main Belt Asteroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We have developed a model-independent analytical method for debiasing the four-dimensional (a,e,i,H) distribution obtained in any asteroid observation program and have applied the technique to results obtained with the 0.9m Spacewatch Telescope.

On the oldest asteroid families in the main belt [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
Asteroid families are groups of minor bodies produced by high-velocity collisions. After the initial dispersions of the parent bodies fragments, their orbits evolve because of several gravitational and non-gravitational effects,such as diffusion in mean-motion resonances, Yarkovsky and YORP effects, close encounters of collisions, etc.

Petrography and mineral chemistry of Northeast Africa 053—A remnant of Martian crystal mush

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 621-643, April 2026.
Abstract In Earth's igneous systems, crystal mushes, crystal‐rich frameworks permeated by silicate melt, represent a common and fundamental stage in the evolution of magma bodies. However, whether crystal mushes occur within Martian igneous systems and play a comparable role is unknown. Here, we present a comprehensive petrography and mineral chemistry

Determinations of Asteroid Masses Using Mutual Encounters Observed in the Legacy Survey of Space and Time

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Using published simulations of the 10 yr Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), we forecast its ability to determine the masses of individual main-belt asteroids (MBAs) through precise astrometry of any pairs of the ≈1.2 million known MBAs undergoing ...

Boosting decision trees for the selection of main belt asteroids in planetary ephemerides: An alternative model

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. One of the main bottlenecks in assessing the accuracy of the Mars orbit is the unknown value of the asteroids in the main asteroid belt. A modeling with 343 asteroids as point masses is used today, with the relative masses fit to observational ...

Terrestrial ages of meteorites from the Atacama Desert (Chile) and insights into the past meteorite flux to Earth

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 644-663, April 2026.
Abstract The Atacama Desert in Chile is characterized by its high meteorite density and old meteorite terrestrial ages. In this work, we present new terrestrial ages derived from measurements of the concentration of cosmogenic 36Cl in the metal fraction of 51 ordinary chondrites collected over a 6.8 km2 area located in the Catalina Dense Collection ...

Light curve analysis of main belt asteroids 4747, 5255, 11411, 15433, 17866

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2023
The main belt asteroids 4747, 5255, 11411, 15433, and 17866 were studied at the Baldone Astrophysical Observatory in the time span range 2018–2022. The obtained light curve data together with published Minor Planet Center data are analyzed with Fourier ...

Dynamical evolution of V-type photometric candidates in the outer Main-belt

open access: yes, 2014
V-type asteroids, characterized by two absorption bands at 1.0 and 2.0 $\mu m$, are usually thought to be portions of the crust of differentiated or partially differentiated bodies.

Performance Constraints of All‐Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells in Low‐Intensity, Low‐Temperature Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 15, 12 March 2026.
All‐perovskite tandem solar cells are evaluated under low‐intensity and low‐temperature (LILT) conditions relevant to space environments. Distinct loss regimes emerge, where weaker entropic mixing causes halide segragation below ≈240 K going along with a strong current imbalance, while poor electron transport in C60 dominates.
