TL;DR: The spectroscopic detection of water ice and organic material on the asteroid 24 Themis is reported, a detection that has been independently confirmed and concludes that water ice is more common on asteroids than was previous thought and may be widespread in asteroidal interiors at much smaller heliocentric distances than was previously expected.

TL;DR: The OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission target, (101955) Bennu (formerly 1999 RQ 36), is a half-kilometer near-Earth asteroid with an extraordinarily well constrained orbit as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present thermal emission spectra of the Trojan asteroids 624 Hektor, 911 Agamemnon, and 1172 Aneas using the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution and abundance of hydrated minerals on outer Main Belt asteroids spanning the 2.5-kilometre radius of the Earth were examined and a similar 3-μm feature was also identified in 24 Themis and 65 Cybele.

TL;DR: It is reported that the kilometre-sized asteroid (29075) 1950 DA is a rubble pile that is rotating faster than is allowed by gravity and friction and that the strengths of the forces are comparable to, though somewhat less than, the forces found between the grains of lunar regolith.
