Impacts on Ceres and Vesta : source regions, cratering, and fragmentation
(EDP Sciences, 2021-08)
Context. Ceres and Vesta are the largest members of the main belt (MB). They were visited by the NASA Dawn spacecraft between 2011 and 2018, which provided a great sample of detailed observations of the surface of both ...
The swing-by effect in the Vesta-Magnya case. Single and multiple encounters.
(2012-06-01)
It was verified that the asteroid Magnya has some physical and chemical characteristics similar to the bodies from Vesta family. However, astronomical observations revealed that Magnya is distant from these bodies. In the ...
Chaotic diffusion caused by close encounters with several massive asteroids The (4) Vesta case
(Edp Sciences S A, 2012-07-01)
Context. Close encounters with massive asteroids are known to be a mechanism of dynamical mobility that can significantly alter proper elements of minor bodies, and they are the main source of dynamical mobility for ...

The dawn exploration of (4) vesta as the 'ground truth' to interpret asteroid polarimetry
(Oxford University Press, 2016-02)
The results of the in situ exploration of the asteroid (4) Vesta by the Dawn spacecraft open new perspectives in the field of interpretation of remote-sensing polarimetric measurements of asteroids. (4) Vesta has long been ...

Impactor flux and cratering on Ceres and Vesta: Implications for the early solar system
(EDP Sciences, 2011-10)
Context. The forthcoming arrival of the NASA's Dawn spacecraft to Ceres and Vesta means that these unexplored worlds in the asteroid main belt are targets of several studies. Aims. We study the impactor flux and cratering ...
