Abstract: Abstract Although pure metallic iron (i.e. that with an Fe content of greater than 99%) commonly occurs in achondrites, and within the returned soil from asteroids or the Lunar surface, it is rarely found in… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Telescopic surveys suggest that S-type asteroids are the dominant small body type in the near-Earth object population and are among the most abundant in the inner main asteroid belt. Given the link between S-type… read more here.
