小行星(101955)贝努的起源及其与新波拉纳族的联系

Origin of Asteroid (101955) Bennu and its Connection to the New Polana Family

AI总结:

通过对比波拉纳与贝努在3微米波段的光谱特征,发现波拉纳缺乏含水矿物吸收而贝努具有显著吸收,从而对贝努起源于新波拉纳族的假说提出质疑,并推测其母体可能经历了不均匀的水蚀变或冲击加热脱水。

摘要:

小行星(142)波拉纳被归类为位于主小行星带内侧的一颗B型小行星。该小行星是新波拉纳族的母体,而新波拉纳族被认为可能是诸如B型小行星(101955)贝努等原始近地小行星的来源。为研究波拉纳与贝努在3微米波段上的成分相关性及其水蚀变历史,我们利用位于夏威夷的NASA红外望远镜设施(NASA Infrared Telescope Facility)分析了波拉纳在约2.0–4.0微米光谱范围内的光谱。我们的研究结果表明,波拉纳在3微米处未显示出可辨别的含水矿物吸收特征(在2 sigma范围内),这与小行星贝努形成对比。贝努显示出显著的3微米吸收特征,类似于CM型和CI型碳质球粒陨石。这表明两种可能性:要么贝努并非起源于以小行星波拉纳为母体的新波拉纳族,要么贝努母体内部并不均匀,存在不同程度的水蚀变。若干解释支持后一种可能性,包括冲击波和压力导致的加热,这可能导致贝努母体当前处于脱水状态。

英文摘要:

The asteroid (142) Polana is classified as a B-type asteroid located in the inner Main Belt. This asteroid is the parent of the New Polana family, which has been proposed to be the likely source of primitive near-Earth asteroids such as the B-type asteroid (101955) Bennu. To investigate the compositional correlation between Polana and Bennu at the 3-micron band and their aqueous alteration histories, we analyzed the spectra of Polana in the ~2.0-4.0-micron spectral range using the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility in Hawaii. Our findings indicate that Polana does not exhibit discernable 3-micron hydrated mineral absorption (within 2 sigma), which is in contrast to asteroid Bennu. Bennu displayed a significant 3-micron absorption feature similar to CM- and CI-type carbonaceous chondrites. This suggests two possibilities: either Bennu did not originate from the New Polana family parented by asteroid Polana or the interior of Bennu's parent body was not homogenous, with diverse levels of aqueous alteration. Several explanations support the latter possibility, including heating due to shock waves and pressure, which could have caused the current dehydrated state of Bennu's parent body.
