Introduction to the Special Issue: Exploration of the Activity of Asteroid (101955) Bennu
- Physics, GeologyJournal of geophysical research. Planets
- 2020
Of the potential mechanisms behind this activity that were investigated in focused studies, meteoroid impacts, thermal fracturing, and ricochet—but not water ice sublimation—were found to be consistent with observations, suggesting that many near‐Earth asteroids may exhibit activity that has gone unnoticed thus far.
