摘要:

在对小型近地小行星进行30夜光谱调查的框架内,我们提出了关于识别富含橄榄石的天体的新结果。使用3.6米NTT望远镜获得的可见光谱将以下近地小行星分类为A型:(293726)2007 RQ 17,(444584)2006 UK,2012 NP,2014 YS 34,2015 HB 117,2015 LH,2015 TB 179,2015 TW 144。我们确定了一个相对丰度的$5.4\% $(8出147个观察目标)A型在百米大小范围的小行星种群。这一比例至少比以前已知的A型大五倍,A型在分类学分类的近地小行星中所占比例不到$\sim1\%$。考虑到我们的目标的一部分可能不会被确认为富含橄榄石的小行星的近红外光谱,或者他们可以有一个星云的起源,我们的结果提供了一个上限估计的地幔碎片的大小范围低于300米。我们的研究结果进行了比较与“打击位”的情况下,声称在小尺寸的橄榄石丰富的对象应该更丰富的玄武岩和铁相比。

英文摘要:

In the framework of a 30-night spectroscopic survey of small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) we present new results regarding the identification of olivine-rich objects. The following NEAs were classified as A-type using visible spectra obtained with 3.6 m NTT telescope: (293726) 2007 RQ17, (444584) 2006 UK, 2012 NP, 2014 YS34, 2015 HB117, 2015 LH, 2015 TB179, 2015 TW144. We determined a relative abundance of $5.4\% $ (8 out of 147 observed targets) A-types at hundred meter size range of NEAs population. The ratio is at least five times larger compared with the previously known A-types, which represent less than $\sim1\%$ of NEAs taxonomically classified. By taking into account that part of our targets may not be confirmed as olivine-rich asteroids by their near-infrared spectra, or they can have a nebular origin, our result provides an upper-limit estimation of mantle fragments at size ranges bellow 300m. Our findings are compared with the "battered-to-bits" scenario, claiming that at small sizes the olivine-rich objects should be more abundant when compared with basaltic and iron ones.
