Phase reddening on near-Earth asteroids: Implications for mineralogical analysis, space weathering and taxonomic classification
Phase reddening is an effect that produces an increase of the spectral slope and variations
in the strength of the absorption bands as the phase angle increases. In order to understand …

More chips off of Asteroid (4) Vesta: Characterization of eight Vestoids and their HED meteorite analogs
PS Hardersen, V Reddy, R Roberts, A Mainzer - Icarus, 2014 - Elsevier
Vestoids are generally considered to be fragments from Asteroid (4) Vesta that were ejected
by past collisions that document Vesta's collisional history. Dynamical Vestoids are defined …

The formation and evolution of ordinary chondrite parent bodies
P Vernazza, B Zanda, T Nakamura, E Scott… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2016 - arxiv.org
Ordinary chondrites (OCs) are by far the most abundant meteorites (80% of all falls). Their
origin has long been the matter of a heated debate. About thirty years ago (eg, Pellas 1988) …
