Connecting asteroids and meteorites with visible and near-infrared spectroscopy
FE DeMeo, BJ Burt, M Marsset, D Polishook… - Icarus, 2022 - Elsevier
In this work we identify spectral similarities between asteroids and meteorites. Using spectral
features such as absorption bands and spectral curvature, we identify spectral matches …

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) …
