CARINA: A near-Earth D-type asteroid sample return mission
2023, Acta AstronauticaThe thermal decomposition of fine-grained micrometeorites, observations from mid-IR spectroscopy
2017, Geochimica et Cosmochimica ActaCitation Excerpt :The evolution of micrometeoroids by flash heating during atmospheric entry is critical to resolve since this process significantly alters the precursor cosmic mineralogy. Furthermore, heated MMs may prove useful analogues for interpreting the heated surfaces of C-type asteroids (Nakamura, 2005; Ostrowski et al., 2010; Zolensky et al., 2016), currently considered the parent bodies of hydrated chondritic materials (Hartmann et al., 1987; Fornasier et al., 2016). Micrometeorites from the Transantarctic Mountain (TAM, n = 8), Cap Prudhomme (CP94, n = 36) and Larkman Nunatak collections (LK06, n > 50) were analysed in this study.
Sublimation of water ice mixed with silicates and tholins: Evolution of surface texture and reflectance spectra, with implications for comets
2016, IcarusCitation Excerpt :Sublimation and its resulting lag deposit are particularly important in the case of comets, because these ice-rich bodies approach the Sun periodically and a large amount of ice sublimes at each perihelion passages. The surfaces of comet nuclei appear to be largely covered with an extremely dark material which could be a result of sublimation (sublimation lag deposit, or dust layer formed by re-deposition of dust lifted by cometary activity), and/or a product of the irradiation of ices by cosmic rays and solar energetic particles (Hartmann et al., 1987; Jewitt, 2015; Johnson et al., 1988). This surface layer probably contains complex organic matter and mineral grains (Capaccioni et al., 2015; Fomenkova, 1999; Jessberger et al., 1989; Kuppers et al., 2005).
Sublimation of ice-tholins mixtures: A morphological and spectro-photometric study
2016, IcarusCitation Excerpt :Sublimation and the subsequent lag deposit are particularly important in the case of comets, because these ice-rich bodies approach the Sun periodically and a huge amount of ice sublimes at each of their perihelion passages. Since the closest approach of Comet 1P/Halley in 1986, it is assumed that the surface of comet nuclei are mostly covered with an ice-free extremely dark mantle made of complex organic material (Hartmann et al., 1987; Johnson et al., 1988). Only areas representing a small fraction of the cometary surface are actively outgassing (Sekanina, 1991).
