B-type asteroid B-type asteroid is a subdivision of C-type asteroids distinguished spectrally by differences in the ultraviolet absorption.

V-type asteroid The V-type asteroids are modertely bright, very similar to the more common S-type, as it is also made up of stony irons and ordinary chondrites. It is thought that most or all V-type asteroids originated as fragments from the crust of the asteroid 4 Vesta, possibly blasted out by a single very large impact at some point in Vesta's history. The only significant difference between this rarer form of asteroid is that it contains more pyroxene than the more commonly found S-type. encyclopedia.codeboy.net /wikipedia/v/v_/v_type_asteroid.html

E T Space Systems - Asteroids Asteroids are classified into different types according to their albedo, composition derived from spectral features in their reflected sunlight, and inferred similarities to known meteorite types. Asteroids are thought to be primordial material prevented by Jupiter's strong gravity from accreting into a planet-sized body when the solar system was born 4.6 billion years ago. Asteroids are metallic, rocky bodies without atmospheres that orbit the Sun but are too small to be classified as planets. etspacesystems.com

Asteroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Asteroid naming is not always a free-for-all: there are some types of asteroid for which rules have developed about the sources of names. Note that the proportion of known asteroids falling into the various spectral types does not necessarily reflect the proportion of all asteroids that are of that type; some types are easier to detect than others, biasing the totals. Asteroids are commonly classified into groups based on the characteristics of their orbits and on the details of the spectrum of sunlight they reflect. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Asteroid   (3231 words)

G-type asteroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You can use the "What links here" toolbox link to find asteroids of this type. G-type asteroid is a subdivision of C-type asteroids distinguished spectrally by differences in the ultraviolet absorption.

S-type asteroid Apxoximately 17% of all known asteroids are of an S-type, a relatively bright ( albedo 0.10 to 0.22) asteroid, consisting of metallic nickel-iron mixed with iron- and magnesium-silicates. pheeds.com /info/guide/s/s_/s_type_asteroid.html   (3231 words)

C-type asteroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This type of asteroid has very similar spectra to carbonaceous chondrite meteorites (types CI and CM), whose chemical composition is approximately the same as the Sun and the primitive solar nebula, except that they do not contain hydrogen, helium and other volatiles. They are the most common variety forming around 75% of known asteroids, and an even higher percentage in the outer part of the belt beyond 2.7 AU, which is dominated by this asteroid type.

bruecknerj.html Asteroids can be remnants of the early solar system, when the accretion of the planets took place, or break-ups of smaller objects that once formed but were fragmented by collisions and/or impacts. One of the primary objectives of the NEAR mission is to obtain global maps of the asteroid surface with respect to morphology, topography, mineralogy, and elemental composition. The solar flux from 1 to 10 keV is a continuum that decreases with a power-law. ecf.hq.eso.org /~ralbrech/amico/intabs/bruecknerj.html   (1421 words)

asteroid Most asteroids move in orbits that are somewhat more inclined and eccentric than those of the major planets (with the exception of Pluto) — the orbit of an average main-belt asteroid being inclined at about 10° to the plane of the ecliptic with an eccentricity of about 0.15. The distribution of the various classes throughout the asteroid belt is highly structured, suggesting that many asteroids formed at or near their present distances from the Sun and are representative of the composition of the solar nebula (not including hydrogen and helium) at these locations. Low-albedo asteroids are generally found in the outer half of the asteroid belt, while higher-albedo objects tend to occupy the inner half. www.daviddarling.info /encyclopedia/A/asteroid.html   (1799 words)

print_images.asp?id=15 Asteroids that share Jupiter’s orbit are known as the Trojan asteroids. Asteroids at certain locations in the main belt follow a trajectory that becomes increasingly off-center over thousands of orbits. Asteroid orbits can become chaotic under the gravitational influence of nearby massive Jupiter. ase.tufts.edu /astroweb/print_images.asp?id=15   (1799 words)

AllRefer.com - asteroid (Astronomy, General) - Encyclopedia Asteroids are also classified by composition and albedo, most being one of three types. Asteroids have been implicated in several mass extinctions of large numbers of animal and plant species in the past. Many asteroids are no larger than a few kilometers; in 1991, an asteroid only 33 ft (10 m) in diameter was found. reference.allrefer.com /encyclopedia/A/asteroid.html   (1799 words)

Space Studies Board There are other classes of asteroids, including small objects (V- and J-class) that may be fragments of Vesta's crust (Binzel and Xu, 1993), the monominerallic (olivine-rich) A-type asteroids, and the E-type asteroids (iron-poor enstatite) that probably represent mantles or crusts of such differentiated bodies. Generally, the asteroids considered are those that are relic planetesimals formed in and beyond the asteroid belt (which is located between 2.2 and 3.2 AU from the Sun), as far away from the Sun as the Trojans, which orbit at Jupiter's distance. The type 1 and 2 carbonaceous chondrites are the aqueously altered meteorites as represented by the CM2 Murchison and CI1 Orgueil. www7.nationalacademies.org /ssb/sssbch4.html   (6530 words)

The Asteroids Asteroids are rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets. Ida is a heavily cratered, irregularly shaped asteroid in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter -- the 243rd asteroid to be discovered since the first one was found at the beginning of the 19th century. Asteroid 4769 Castalia is a near-Earth crossing asteroid that was discovered by Eleanor F. Helin (Caltech) on August 9, 1989. www.bluepoint.gen.tr /sagan/planetarium/asteroids.html   (3008 words)

K type asteroid Asteroids are assigned a type based on color, albedo, and spectral shape, which are thought to correspond to an asteroids surface competition. The spectrum of K-type asteroids resembles CV and CO meteorites. The K-type category is one of those that have been added on as new types of asteroids were discovered. read-and-go.hopto.org /Asteroid-spectral-classes/K-type-asteroid.html   (97 words)

Asteroids are commonly classified into groups based on the characteristics of their orbits and on the details of the spectrum of sunlight they reflect. The term "asteroid" was coined by William Herschel because of the star-like appearance of the first few asteroids discovered (the other then-known planets all show discs, by comparison). www.masterliness.com /a/Asteroid.htm   (97 words)

S-type asteroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Approximately 17% of asteroids are of this type, making it the second most common after the C-type. The composition of these asteroids is similar to a variety of stony meteorites which share similar spectral characteristics. This whole "S" assemblage of asteroids is spectrally quite distinct from the carbonaceous C-group and the mostly metallic X-group. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/S-type_asteroid   (339 words)

Sloan Digital Sky Survey The asteroid belt is the source for a smaller group of asteroids called "near- earth objects," which have broken from the belt and have the potential to collide with earth. Based on observations of 10,000 asteroids, the researchers estimated that the asteroid belt contains about 700,000 that are bigger than one kilometer (six-tenths of a mile) in diameter, which is the minimum size thought to pose a catastrophic risk to humans and other species. Asteroids with a surface of carbon -- looking like giant lumps of coal -- are darker than those made of rock. www.sdss.org /news/releases/20011108.asteroid.html   (1031 words)

bathilde The asteroid magnitudes were averaged and referenced to the calibrated-comparison stars to calculate a V magnitude for the asteroid. During November and December of 1992 the asteroid was in a favorable position and phase. After the centroids of the asteroid and comparison stars were found, an aperture of 8 arc seconds was integrated, then a annulus was subtracted for sky. nfo.edu /bathilde.htm   (619 words)
