Journal ArticleDOI
Delivery of Dust Grains from Comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) to Mars
Pasquale Tricarico,Nalin H. Samarasinha,Mark V. Sykes,Jian-Yang Li,Tony L. Farnham,Michael S. P. Kelley,Davide Farnocchia,Rachel Stevenson,James M. Bauer,Robert E. Lock +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors model the dynamical evolution of dust grains from the time of their ejection from the comet nucleus to the close encounter with Mars, and determine the flux at Mars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elemental composition and mineralogy of Vesta and Ceres: Distribution and origins of hydrogen-bearing species
Thomas H. Prettyman,Naoyuki Yamashita,Eleonora Ammannito,Bethany L. Ehlmann,Harry Y. McSween,D. W. Mittlefehldt,Simone Marchi,Norbert Schorghofer,Michael J. Toplis,Jian-Yang Li,Carle M. Pieters,Julie Castillo-Rogez,Carol A. Raymond,Christopher T. Russell +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface elemental composition and mineralogy of Vesta and Ceres were analyzed using high-resolution maps of absorption band strengths from VIR and Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector (GRaND) data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin of pits on 9P/Tempel 1 and the geologic signature of outbursts in Stardust-NExT images
Michael J. S. Belton,Peter C. Thomas,Brian Carcich,Andrew Quick,Joseph Veverka,H. Jay Melosh,Michael F. A'Hearn,Jian-Yang Li,Donald E. Brownlee,Peter H. Schultz,Kenneth P. Klaasen,Gal Sarid +11 more
TL;DR: Reach et al. as mentioned in this paper considered the origin of ∼380 quasi-circular depressions (pits) seen to be distributed in a broad band across the surface of 9P/Tempel 1 and showed that possibly ∼96% may be due to outburst activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral analysis of the bright materials on the asteroid Vesta
Francesca Zambon,Maria Cristina De Sanctis,Stefan Schröder,Federico Tosi,Andrea Longobardo,Eleonora Ammannito,David T. Blewett,David W. Mittlefehldt,Jian-Yang Li,Ernesto Palomba,Fabrizio Capaccioni,Alessandro Frigeri,Maria Teresa Capria,Sergio Fonte,Andreas Nathues,Carle M. Pieters,Christopher T. Russell,Carol A. Raymond +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the spectral properties of a large number of bright material units on Vesta including examples of the different morphological classes was performed, and the spectral parameters used are band centers, band depths, and Band Area Ratio (BAR) for the pyroxene bands at ∼ 0.9 and ∼ 1.9 μm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jian-Yang Li,Michael S. P. Kelley,Matthew M. Knight,Tony L. Farnham,Harold A. Weaver,Michael F. A'Hearn,Max Mutchler,Ludmilla Kolokolova,Philippe Lamy,Imre Toth +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report results from broadband visible images of comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 on 2013 April 10.
