[meteorite-list] Researcher Seeks New Way to Study Asteroid and Comet Interiors
NEWS RELEASE FROM THE PLANETARY SCIENCE INSTITUTE FROM: Alan Fischer Public Information Officer Planetary Science Institute 520-382-0411 520-622-6300 fisc...@psi.edu PSI Researcher Seeks New Way to Study Asteroid and Comet Interiors July 19, 2013, Tucson, Ariz. -- Thomas H. Prettyman, Senior Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute, has been awarded funding from the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program to develop a groundbreaking way to study the deep interiors of asteroids and comets using high-energy muons and other particles generated by galactic cosmic rays. For comets, muon imaging could determine how volatiles are transported from the interior of the nucleus by directly imaging the vent system and related structures. And information on the porosity, density distribution and internal structure of small asteroids would provide data on their formation, evolution and impact history as well as providing information needed for developing planetary defense strategies. Our objective is to develop new types of spacecraft instrumentation and methods to map the deep interior of asteroids and comets with unprecedented detail - particularly those in near-Earth orbits, Prettyman said. Prettyman, along with Steven L. Koontz of NASA Johnson Space Center and Lawrence S. Pinsky of the University of Houston will investigate the use of muons, pions and other subatomic particles formed when galactic cosmic rays strike the surfaces of these objects. High-energy muons, which can penetrate rocks hundreds of meters, could enable sampling of the inside of asteroids and comets to great depth and with high spatial resolution, Prettyman said. Muon imaging could also be applied to near-surface features of large planetary bodies, and would enable a better understanding of many aspects of their structural, chemical and physical properties. Secondary muons produced by galactic cosmic ray collisions with Earth's atmosphere have already found application in volcanology, archeology, and national security. Application to planetary science requires a thorough understanding of how these particles are produced and transported in planetary atmospheres and rocky soils, as well as the development of compact instrumentation suitable for flight, he said. Our team will determine whether there is a feasible path to the development of a new generation of nuclear instrumentation for deep imaging of asteroids and comets, Prettyman said. Muon imaging could also be used to image layered deposits on Mars, as well as volcanic structures, and search for and characterize subsurface ice and other deposits there. NIAC Phase I grants, like the one announced today funding Prettyman's project, aim to turn science fiction into fact. The Phase I awards are about $100,000 to conduct nine-month initial definition and analysis studies of a concept. If the basic feasibility studies are successful, proposers can apply for Phase II funding of as much as $500,000 for two more years to mature the concept. CONTACT: Thomas H.

[meteorite-list] Target Asteroid 2002 GT Tracked by European Teams
http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Operations/Space_Situational_Awareness/Target_asteroid_tracked_by_European_teams Target asteroid tracked by European teams European Space Agency 18 July 2013 In a recent close-ish flyby, asteroid 2002 GT was studied in detail for the first time by a network of European astronomers. The observations were coordinated by ESA's asteroid centre in Italy, and should prove crucial for a future spacecraft rendezvous. Asteroid 2002 GT, a relatively large object a few hundred metres across, made a somewhat close flyby of Earth on 26 June, passing us at almost 50 times the distance of the Moon. The encounter sparked intensive worldwide observations because the asteroid is the target of NASA's Epoxi mission in January 2020. Last month's flyby was the last chance before then to study the object's diameter, rotation, composition and other physical characteristics. Ideal opportunity to coordinate response The flyby presented an ideal opportunity to exercise the unique 'coordinating function' of ESA's new Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre, says Ettore Perozzi, project leader for NEO services at Deimos Space. By alerting and then collating observations from diverse European teams, the Centre was able to provide a comprehensive set of results back to the scientific and space exploration communities, a cycle that wasn't happening before. This is really a first for Europe. Deimos Space leads a project team that operates the Centre at the Agency's ESRIN site near Rome. The gathered information will enable a very good characterisation of the asteroid's surface composition, thermal properties, shape and rotation. All of these features are crucial for any spacecraft visit. Moreover, analysis of its changing brightness indicates the possible presence of a small moon. Focal point: ESA's NEO Coordination Centre Gerhard Drolshagen, co-manager of the NEO segment at ESA's Space Situational Awareness programme office, says the 2002 GT event highlighted the potential coordination role that the Centre can play in addition to its primary function of providing information on all known NEOs, including their orbits, impact risk and close approaches to Earth. Traditionally, Europe's asteroid community reliably delivered world-class observations and has been credited with many significant discoveries and findings. What was lacking, however, was a central point to coordinate and synthesise data that could function across national and organisational boundaries. Our Centre has proven it can act as a driving force and a focal point for the European and international community involved in asteroid science, impact monitoring and mitigation. Ettore adds: We now know 2002 GT is a rocky body, belonging to a peculiar transition class that astronomers refer to as Sq-type. It's also a potentially hazardous object, as its orbit crosses that of Earth, so it's certainly a very interesting object, well worth watching. About 2002GT observations ESA's Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre (NEO-CC) received well-documented observations of 2002GT as follows: o Photometry and light-curve data from the 1 m-diameter C2PU telescope at the Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur https://www.oca.eu/?lang=en, which allows calculation of the rotation period (3.77 hours). The shape of the light curve is also compatible with the presence of a satellite. o Spectra and photometric data from Asiago Observatory http://archive.oapd.inaf.it/asiago/ (University of Padova and Observatory of Padova) which allows determination of the asteroid type (Sq), in agreement with other observations. o Infrared observations from the Campo Imperatore Station http://www.oa-roma.inaf.it/cimperatore/ of the INAF Rome Astronomical Observatory. Even under bad weather conditions, teams there were able to spot the asteroid 20 days before Earth flyby. o Astrometry from Gaia-FUN-SSO http://www.imcce.fr/hosted_sites/gaiafun2012/index.php. Six telescopes observed 2002 GT providing more than 1000 astrometric measurements. These were sent to the Minor Planet Centre http://www.minorplanetcenter.org/iau/mpc.html and processed at the Institut de Mercanique Celste et de Calcul des Ephemerides http://www.imcce.fr/langues/en/ for computing orbital elements. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
