摘要:

我们报告的热性质和组成的小行星(2867)斯坦斯来自新的斯皮策太空望远镜(SST)的观测分析在2008年3月进行,除了先前公布的SST观测在2005年11月进行。我们认为,来自OSIRIS图像的三维形状模型和光度特性,在2008年9月的罗塞塔航天器,我们结合热模型,以正确地解释所观察到的SST热光变曲线和光谱能量分布。我们得到的热惯性范围为100 \pm 50 JK-1米-2秒-1/2和0.7-1.0的范围内的聚束因子(粗糙度)。我们确认,斯坦的红外发射率是一致的顽火辉石组合物。2005年11月的SST热光变曲线最可靠的解释是假设表面的热性质不均匀,有两个不同的区域略有不同的粗糙度,如在其他小天体上观察到的,如彗星9 P/坦普尔1号的核。我们的研究结果强调,形状模型是重要的热惯性和粗糙度的准确测定。最后,我们提出的温度图的斯坦,罗塞塔在其飞越,并讨论了解释的观测结果进行的VIRTIS和MIRO仪器。

英文摘要:

We report on the thermal properties and composition of asteroid (2867) Steins derived from an analysis of new Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) observations performed in March 2008, in addition to previously published SST observations performed in November 2005. We consider the three-dimensional shape model and photometric properties derived from OSIRIS images obtained during the flyby of the Rosetta spacecraft in September 2008, which we combine with a thermal model to properly interpret the observed SST thermal light curve and spectral energy distributions. We obtain a thermal inertia in the range 100\pm50 JK-1m-2s-1/2 and a beaming factor (roughness) in the range 0.7-1.0. We confirm that the infrared emissivity of Steins is consistent with an enstatite composition. The November 2005 SST thermal light curve is most reliably interpreted by assuming inhomogeneities in the thermal properties of the surface, with two different regions of slightly different roughness, as observed on other small bodies, such as the nucleus of comet 9P/Tempel 1. Our results emphasize that the shape model is important to an accurate determination of the thermal inertia and roughness. Finally, we present temperature maps of Steins, as seen by Rosetta during its flyby, and discuss the interpretation of the observations performed by the VIRTIS and MIRO instruments.
