Scaling, Mirror Symmetries and Musical Consonances Among the Distances of the Planets of the Solar System by Michael J. Bank, Nicola Scafetta

“…This metric suggests that the Solar System could be characterized by a scaling and mirror-like structure relative to the asteroid belt that relates together the terrestrial and Jovian planets. …”

Olivine-rich achondrites from Vesta and the missing mantle problem by Zoltan Vaci, James M. D. Day, Marine Paquet, Karen Ziegler, Qing-Zhu Yin, Supratim Dey, Audrey Miller, Carl Agee, Rainer Bartoschewitz, Andreas Pack

“…Ultramafic olivine-rich achondrites provide insight into the missing mantle problem in the asteroid belt. The petrology and geochemistry of these samples suggests they are related to Vesta or the Vestoids.…”

The First Instrumentally Documented Fall of an Iron Meteorite: Orbit and Possible Origin by Ihor Kyrylenko, Oleksiy Golubov, Ivan Slyusarev, Jaakko Visuri, Maria Gritsevich, Yurij N. Krugly, Irina Belskaya, Vasilij G. Shevchenko

“…The long YORP timescale of the meteoroid suggests that it could have been produced in the main asteroid belt and survived the journey to the near-Earth orbit.…”

Study the genesis of the Moons of Jupiter and their Physical Properties by Baghdad Science Journal

“…And the moons of exotic origin asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt in the region which is behind Neptune, the origin of each clique of moons is an asteroid fragmented after colliding previously with another body and then gathered again by simple gravity of its parts among them, and then it has been disintegrated once again due to the influence of the gravity of the planet against it, and the process of captivity are due to the gravitational interaction between the asteroid or comet and the planet when one of them enters within Hill ball to Jupiter.…”

Accumulation solaire : la théorie des systèmes-mondes de The Expanse by Brent Ryan Bellamy, Sean O’Brien

“…The Expanse envisions a colonized solar system, replete with a United-Nations-controlled Terra and Luna, a military dictatorship on Mars, and a densely populated asteroid belt. This essay proposes that The Expanse offers an image of a worlds-system, by which we mean an interplanetary system of capital accumulation that reproduces the structure of twentieth-century geopolitical economy at the level of the solar system. …”

KIC 8462852: THE INFRARED FLUX by Marengo, Massimo, Hulsebus, Alan, Willis, Sarah E.

“…The lack of strong infrared excess 2 years after the events responsible for the unusual light curve observed by Kepler further disfavors the scenarios involving a catastrophic collision in a KIC 8462852 asteroid belt, a giant impact disrupting a planet in the system or a population of dust-enshrouded planetesimals. …”

Impact of Economic Constraints on the Projected Timeframe for Human-Crewed Deep Space Exploration by Philip E. Rosen, Dan Zhang, Jonathan H. Jiang, Leopold Van Ijzendoorn, Kristen A. Fahy, Zong-Hong Zhu

“…Our findings suggest the first human missions from a spacefaring nation or international collaboration to the asteroid belt and Jovian system could be scheduled as soon as ~2071 to ~2087 and ~2101 to ~2121, respectively, while a launch to the Saturn system may occur by the year ~2132, with an uncertainty window of ~2129 to ~2153.…”

Tandem planet formation for solar system-like planetary systems by Yusuke Imaeda, Toshikazu Ebisuzaki

“…This is consistent with the gap in the solid component distribution in the solar system, which has only a relatively small Mars and a very small amount of material in the main asteroid belt from 2–6 AU. The tandem regime is consistent with the idea that the Earth was initially formed as a completely volatile-free planet. …”

The breakup of the L-chondrite parent body 466 Ma and its terrestrial effects – a search for a mid-Ordovician biodiversity event by Birger Schmitz, Fredrik Terfelt

“…About a third of all meteorites that fall on Earth today, the stony L-chondrites, originate from a major breakup event in the asteroid belt 466 Ma, in the early Darriwilian. This is the largest asteroid breakup in the past three billion years documented by K-Ar gas-retention ages of recently fallen meteorites. …”

A contact binary satellite of the asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh by Levison, HF, Marchi, S, Noll, KS, Spencer, JR, Statler, TS, Bell, JF, Bierhaus, EB, Binzel, R, Bottke, WF, Britt, D, Brown, ME, Buie, MW, Christensen, PR, Dello Russo, N, Emery, JP, Grundy, WM, Hahn, M, Hamilton, VE, Howett, C, Kaplan, H, Kretke, K, Lauer, TR, Manzoni, C, Marschall, R

“…Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques (that is, YORP, short for the Yarkovsky–O’Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack effect)1 to be a notable factor in their evolution2. (152830) Dinkinesh is a small asteroid orbiting the Sun near the inner edge of the main asteroid belt with a heliocentric semimajor axis of 2.19 au; its S-type spectrum3, 4 is typical of bodies in this part of the main belt5. …”

Super-chondritic Sm/Nd ratios in Mars, the Earth and the Moon. by Caro, G, Bourdon, B, Halliday, A, Quitté, G

“…The Earth, Moon and Mars all seem to have accreted in a portion of the inner Solar System with approximately 5 per cent higher Sm/Nd ratios than material accreted in the asteroid belt. Such chemical heterogeneities may have arisen from sorting of nebular solids or from impact erosion of crustal reservoirs in planetary precursors. …”

Distinguishing the Origin of Asteroid (16) Psyche by Elkins-Tanton, Linda T., Asphaug, Erik, Bell, James F., Bierson, Carver J., Bills, Bruce G., Bottke, William F., Courville, Samuel W., Dibb, Steven D., Jun, Insoo, Lawrence, David J., Marchi, Simone, McCoy, Timothy J., Merayo, Jose M. G., Oran, Rona, O’Rourke, Joseph G.

“…Here we describe the possible solar system regions of origin for Psyche, prior to its likely implantation into the asteroid belt, the physical and chemical processes that can enrich metal in an asteroid, and possible meteoritic analogs. …”

Constraints on the distances and timescales of solid migration in the early solar system from meteorite magnetism by Bryson, JFJ, Weiss, B, Biersteker, J, King, A, Russell, S

“…Because WIS 91600 likely came to Earth from the asteroid belt, our recovered formation distance argues that this body previously traveled from ~10 au to 2–3 au, supporting the migration of asteroid-sized bodies throughout the solar system. …”

Evidence for asteroid scattering and distal solar system solids from meteorite paleomagnetism by Bryson, JFJ, Weiss, BP, Lima, EA, Gattacceca, J, Cassata, WS

“…Tagish Lake came to Earth from the asteroid belt which, combined with our recovered formation distance, suggests that some small bodies traveled large distances throughout the solar system. …”
