The search for primordial quark nuggets among near Earth asteroids
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Primordial Quark Nuggets, remnants of the quark-hadron phase transition, may be hiding most of the baryon number in superdense chunks have been discussed for years always from the theoretical point of view. While they ...
THE EUPHROSYNE FAMILY'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE LOW ALBEDO NEAR-EARTH ASTEROIDS
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2015-08-20)
The Euphrosyne asteroid family is uniquely situated at high inclination in the outer Main Belt, bisected by the n6 secular resonance. This large, low albedo family may thus be an important contributor to specific subpopulations ...
The aster mission: Exploring for the first time a triple system asteroid
(2011-12-01)
2001 SN263 is a triple system asteroid. Although it was discovery in 2001, in 2008 astronomical observation carried out by Arecibo observatory revealed that it is actually a system with three bodies orbiting each other. ...
The size distribution of near-earth objects larger than 10 m
(IOP, 2017)
We analyzed data from the first year of a survey for Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that we are carrying out with the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the 4 m Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. We ...

THE NEAR-EARTH ASTEROID CHARACTERIZATION AND OBSERVATION (NEACO) MISSION
(Univelt Inc, 2018-01-01)
The Near-Earth Asteroid Characterization and Observation (NEACO) mission proposes to explore the fast-rotating asteroid (469219) 2016 HO3 with a SmallSat spacecraft and perform an early scientific investigation to enable ...
Mapping trajectories for a spacecraft to hit an asteroid to avoid a collision with the earth
(2017-01-01)
The study of asteroids has revealed much about these small rock-formed bodies compared to the planets, which like them also orbit around the Sun. But, although these bodies have masses smaller than the Moon, they present ...
