Mineralogical Variations within the S-Type Asteroid Class
Abstract A systematic spectral analysis has been Carried out on a large subset (39 of 144) of the S-type asteroid population. The S-asteroid class includes a number of distinct compositional subtypes… Expand
Observed spectral properties of near-Earth objects: results for population distribution, source regions, and space weathering processes
Abstract We present new visible and near-infrared spectroscopic measurements for 252 near-Earth (NEO) and Mars-crossing (MC) objects observed from 1994 through 2002 as a complement to the Small… Expand
Spectral Properties of Near-Earth Objects: Palomar and IRTF Results for 48 Objects Including Spacecraft Targets (9969) Braille and (10302) 1989 ML

- 1 June 2001
Abstract We present results of visible wavelength spectroscopic measurements for 48 near-Earth objects (NEOs) obtained with the 5-m telescope at Palomar Mountain Observatory during 1998, 1999, and… Expand
Small main-belt asteroid spectroscopic survey: Initial results
- S. Xu, R. Binzel, T. Burbine, S. Bus
- Geology

The spectral characterization of small asteroids is important for understanding the evolution of their compositional and mineralogical properties. We report the results of a CCD spectroscopic survey… Expand
Spectral Properties of Near-Earth Asteroids: Evidence for Sources of Ordinary Chondrite Meteorites

- 16 August 1996
Although ordinary chondrite (OC) meteorites dominate observed falls, the identification of near-Earth and main-belt asteroid sources has remained elusive. Telescopic measurements of 35 near-Earth… Expand

Abstract Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) offer insight into a size range of objects that are not easily observed in the main asteroid belt. Previous studies on the diversity of the NEA population have… Expand
Pyroxene mineralogies of near-Earth vestoids.

- 1 March 2009
We have calculated pyroxene mineralogies of seven near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) with reflectance spectra similar to HEDs (howardites, eucrites, and diogenites). Two different sets of formulas (Gaffey… Expand
A spectroscopic comparison of HED meteorites and V-type asteroids in the inner Main Belt

- Geology, Physics
- 12 March 2010
V-type asteroids in the inner Main Belt (a < 2.5 AU) and the HED meteorites are thought to be genetically related to one another as collisional fragments from the surface of the large basaltic… Expand
MUSES-C target asteroid (25143) 1998 SF36: A reddened ordinary chondrite
- R. Binzel, A. Rivkin, S. Bus, J. Sunshine, T. Burbine
- Geology
- 1 August 2001
Abstract— Near-Earth asteroid (25143) 1998 SF36 is a planned target for the Japanese MUSES-C sample return mission. High signal-to-noise and relatively high-resolution (50 A) visible and… Expand
Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey in the Near-Infrared
- T. Burbine, R. Binzel
- Physics
- 1 October 2002
Abstract Near-infrared spectra (∼0.90 to ∼1.65 μm) are presented for 181 main-belt asteroids, more than half having diameters less than 20 km. These spectra were measured using a specialized grism at… Expand
