Some years ago, the consensus was that asteroid (16) Psyche was almost entirely metal.
New data on density, radar properties, and spectral signatures indicate that the asteroid is …

The asteroid (16) Psyche may be the metal-rich remnant of a differentiated planetesimal, or it
may be a highly reduced, metal-rich asteroidal material that never differentiated. The NASA …

We have conducted a radar-driven observational campaign of 22 main-belt asteroids
(MBAs) focused on Bus–DeMeo Xc-and Xk-type objects (Tholen X and M class asteroids) …

The asteroid (16) Psyche is of scientific interest because it contains∼ 1% of the total mass of
the asteroid belt and is thought to be the remnant metallic core of a protoplanet. Radar …

The origin of the Martian satellites presents a puzzle of long standing. Addressing the
composition of Phobos will help constrain theories of its formation. Visible and near-infrared …

Spectroscopic measurements are a powerful tool to investigate the surface composition of
airless bodies and provide clues of their origin. The composition and origin of Phobos and …

The NASA Psyche mission will explore the structure, composition, and other properties of
asteroid (16) Psyche to test hypotheses about its formation. Variations in radar reflectivity …

This work updates and expands on results of our long-term radar-driven observational
campaign of main-belt asteroids (MBAs) focused on Bus–DeMeo Xc-and Xk-type objects …

The study of small (< 300 m) near-Earth objects (NEOs) is important because they are more
closely related than larger objects to the precursors of meteorites that fall on Earth …

Previous observations of Phobos and Deimos, the moons of Mars, have improved our
understanding of these small bodies. However, their formation and composition remain …
