Spectral decomposition of asteroid Itokawa based on principal component analysis
The heliocentric stratification of asteroid spectral types may hold important information on the early evolution of the Solar System. Asteroid spectral taxonomy is based largely on principal component analysis. However, how the surface properties of asteroids, such as the composition and age, are projected in the principal-component (PC) space is not understood well. We decompose multi-band dis...
متن کاملElemental composition of 433 Eros: New calibration of the NEAR-Shoemaker XRS data
Introduction: We present relative elemental abundances for six elements (Mg, Al, Si, S, Ca, Fe) in the surface layer of 433 Eros, derived from a new analysis of the solar-induced fluorescence measured by the NEAR-Shoemaker X-ray Spectrometer (XRS). XRS-derived elemental abundances have been presented before [1,2]. However, calibration of XRS data depends critically on knowledge of the incident ...
متن کاملTowards understanding the dynamical evolution of asteroid 25143 Itokawa: constraints from sample analysis
The data from the analysis of samples returned by Hayabusa from asteroid 25143 Itokawa are used to constrain the preaccretion history, the geological activity that occurred after accretion, and the dynamical history of the asteroid from the main belt to near-Earth space. We synthesize existing data to pose hypotheses to be tested by dynamical modeling and the analyses of future samples returned...
متن کاملCollision and gravitational reaccumulation: Possible formation mechanism of the asteroid Itokawa
Aims. We investigate the possibility that the observed sea-otter shape of the asteroid Itokawa, associated with the presence of big boulders on its surface, originates from the reaccumulation process that may have formed this asteroid, assuming that it consists of reaccumulated fragments from a catastrophically disrupted parent body. Methods. We computed the gravitational phase of an asteroid d...
متن کاملDissolution Kinetic Evaluation of Manganese-rich Iron ore by Sulphuric acid Solution
This study investigated the optimum conditions for the leaching of manganese-rich iron ore for subsequent beneficiation studies in laboratory scale. The experiments were carried out by varying the concentration of H2 SO4 solution and the leaching temperature. The properties of the iron ore was characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)...
