Advances in the discovery and characterization of asteroids over the past decade have
revealed an unanticipated underlying structure that points to a dramatic early history of the …

A number of distinct methodologies are available for determining the oxygen isotope
composition of minerals and rocks, these include laser-assisted fluorination, secondary ion …

INTRODUCTION The color and reflectance of asteroids can be used to infer their
compositions and histories. Variations in these spectrophotometric properties are driven by …

We present a comprehensive evolutionary model of the Sun's protoplanetary disk,
constructed to resolve the" CAI storage problem" of meteoritics. We predict the abundances …

Strongly correlated quantum systems are among the most intriguing and fundamental
systems in physics. One such example is the Tonks–Girardeau gas,, proposed about 40 …

The availability of asteroid spectral measurements extending to the near-infrared, resulting
from the development of new telescopic instruments (such as SpeX [Rayner, JT, and 7 …

Advancing technology in near-infrared instrumentation and dedicated planetary telescope
facilities have enabled nearly two decades of reconnoitering the spectral properties for near …

The second phase of the Small Main-belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (SMASSII)
produced an internally consistent set of visible-wavelength charge-coupled device (CCD) …

Using new techniques to examine the products of space weathering of lunar soils, we
demonstrate that nanophase reduced iron (npFe0) is produced on the surface of grains by a …

New data from observations of asteroid mutual perturbation events, observations of asteroid
satellites, and spacecraft encounters have revolutionized our understanding of asteroid bulk …
