Abstract

International audience; Olivine-dominated asteroids, classified as A-types with near-infrared spectral measurements are largely thought to be the mantle remnants of disrupted differentiated small bodies. These A-type asteroids hold clues to asteroid differentiation and to the collisional history of those differentiated bodies. Preliminary studies of the abundance and distribution of A-type asteroids were performed by Carvano et al. (2010) and DeMeo & Carry (2013, 2014) using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). To confidently identify these olivine-dominated A-type asteroids, however, near-infrared spectral measurements are needed to identify the distinct broad and deep 1-micron olivine absorption feature. Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Moving Object Catalog to select A-type asteroid candidates, we have performed a near-infrared spectral survey of over 70 asteroids with SpeX on the IRTF. We present the abundance and distribution of A-type asteroids throughout the main asteroid belt and compare these results with similar surveys for basalt-rich V-type asteroids (e.g. Moskovitz et al. 2008). This work is supported by NASA under grant number NNX12AL26G issued through the Planetary Astronomy Program.

Abstract

International audience; In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) General Assembly (GA) established the Working Group (WG) for Numerical Standards of Fundamental Astronomy (NSFA). The NSFA WG Current Best Estimates (CBEs) were adopted at the 2009 IAU GA in Resolution B2 as the IAU (2009) System of Astronomical Constants. The IAU 2012 Resolution on the re-definition of the au was proposed by the NSFA WG. Since then, the WG has concentrated on establishing the process for maintaining the CBEs in an effort to provide a service for the IAU. The NSFA web presence documents both the IAU (2009) System of Astronomical Constants and the CBEs. All old pages of the CBEs are archived in order to document history of the CBEs. The CBE policy documents the procedures established for proposal, discussion, and voting for the adoption of new CBEs. The talk reviews the efforts of the WG and provides insight into future efforts.
