Towards understanding the dynamical evolution of asteroid 25143 Itokawa: constraints from sample analysis
The data from the analysis of samples returned by Hayabusa from asteroid 25143 Itokawa are used to constrain the preaccretion history, the geological activity that occurred after accretion, and the dynamical history of the asteroid from the main belt to near-Earth space. We synthesize existing data to pose hypotheses to be tested by dynamical modeling and the analyses of future samples returned...
متن کاملApplication of a New Method for Exploring the Copernican Cratering Record
Introduction: Here we investigate the Copernican-era lunar impact flux using a new method for determining crater ages. Customarily, geological maps and crater counting methods have been used to determine the ages of lunar terrains and individual features. Those methods, however, are (i) extremely time consuming, (ii) are limited by image quality, image availability, and the need to identify sma...
متن کاملThe Actual Dynamical Environment About Itokawa
The dynamical environment about and on Asteroid 25143 Itokawa is studied using the shape and rotation state model estimated during the close proximity phase of the Hayabusa mission to that asteroid. We first discuss the general gravitational properties of the shape model assuming a constant density. Next we discuss the actual dynamical environment about this body, both on the surface and in orb...
متن کاملThermal infrared observations of the Hayabusa spacecraft target asteroid 25143 Itokawa ⋆
We obtained N-and Q-band observations of the Apollo-type asteroid 25143 Itokawa during its close Earth approach in July 2004 with TIMMI2 at the ESO 3.6 m telescope. Our photometric measurement, in combination with already published data, allowed us to derive a radiometric effective diameter of 0.32±0.03 km and an albedo of 0.19 +0.11 −0.03 through a thermophysical model. This effective diameter...
متن کاملTrajectory ❖ ❖ ❖
The trajectory of the impacting asteroid is another issue of considerable debate and still unresolved. Historically, circular plan views of impact craters confounded many investigators who assumed a circular crater requires a vertical impact. They wondered why more craters are not elliptical. Gilbert and Barringer both realized that 45° impacts are the most probable trajectories for meteoritic ...
