Constraining the formation and transport of lunar impact glasses using the ages and chemical compositions of Chang'e-5 glass beads
Impact glasses found in lunar soils provide a possible window into the impact history of the
inner solar system. However, their use for precise reconstruction of this history is limited by …

Exogenic basalt on asteroid (101955) Bennu
When rubble-pile asteroid 2008 TC3 impacted Earth on 7 October 2008, the recovered rock
fragments indicated that such asteroids can contain exogenic material,. However, spacecraft …

[HTML][HTML] Linking asteroids and meteorites to the primordial planetesimal population
RC Greenwood, TH Burbine, IA Franchi - Geochimica et Cosmochimica …, 2020 - Elsevier
Meteorites provide a unique insight into early Solar System processes. However, to fully
interpret this record requires that these meteorites are related back to their source asteroids …

Spins and shapes of basaltic asteroids and the missing mantle problem
Basaltic V-type asteroids are common in the inner part of the Main Asteroid Belt and much
less abundant in the mid and outer parts. They are of scientific interest because they sample …
