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 …

Investigating the relationship between (3200) Phaethon and (155140) 2005 UD through telescopic and laboratory studies
The relationship between the near-Earth objects (3200) Phaethon and (155140) 2005 UD is
unclear. While both are parents to meteor showers (the Geminids and Daytime Sextantids …
