TL;DR: Dawn's results confirm predictions that Vesta differentiated and support its identification as the parent body of the HEDs, and present the mineralogical characterization of Vesta, revealing that this asteroid underwent a complex magmatic evolution that led to a differentiated crust and mantle.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Dawn observations confirm the large impact basin at Vesta's south pole and reveal evidence for an earlier, underlying large basin (Veneneia), underscoring Vesta’s unique role as a transitional solar system body.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elemental mapping by Dawn reveals exogenic H in Vesta's regolith.
Thomas H. Prettyman,David W. Mittlefehldt,Naoyuki Yamashita,David J. Lawrence,Andrew W. Beck,W. C. Feldman,Timothy J. McCoy,Harry Y. McSween,Michael J. Toplis,Timothy N. Titus,Pasquale Tricarico,Robert C. Reedy,John S. Hendricks,Olivier Forni,L. Le Corre,Jian-Yang Li,H. Mizzon,Vishnu Reddy,Carol A. Raymond,Christopher T. Russell +19 more
TL;DR: Analysis of data from the Dawn spacecraft implies that asteroid Vesta is rich in volatiles, and models of Vesta’s evolution based on studies of howardite, eucrite, and diogenite meteorites are tested, finding that global Fe/O and Fe/Si ratios are consistent with HED compositions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Combining the measured Bennu mass and shape obtained during the Preliminary Survey phase of the OSIRIS-REx mission, a notable transition is found in Bennu’s surface slopes within its rotational Roche lobe, defined as the region where material is energetically trapped to the surface.

TL;DR: The properties and behavior of particles ejected from Bennu are analyzed to determine the possible mechanisms of ejection and provide understanding of the broader population of active asteroids.
