Abstract

The original publication is available at http://iopscience.iop.org/1538-3881/.; International audience; Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs display thewidest color diversity in comparison to other small solar system bodies. The investigation of their properties can help in understanding the evolution of these objects. In this paper we propose a classification scheme based on multivariate statistical analysis of a homogeneous, high-quality set of B - V, V - R, V - I , and V - J color indices. Analyzing a sample of 51 objects and using a high confidence level, four groups have been identified and named: BB, BR, IR, and RR. The group BB contains objects with neutral color and RR those with very red color, while the others have intermediate behavior. We extend the analysis to 84 other objects for which three colors are available, obtaining a preliminary classification. A tentative interpretation of these groups in terms of surface characteristics is given.

Abstract

Although petrologic, chemical and isotopic studies of ordinary chondrites and meteorites in general have largely helped establish a chronology of the earliest events of planetesimal formation and their evolution, there are several questions that cannot be resolved via laboratory measurements and/or experiments only. Here we propose rationale for several new constraints on the formation and evolution of ordinary chondrite parent bodies (and by extension most planetesimals) from newly available spectral measurements and mineralogical analysis of main belt S-type asteroids (83 objects) and unequilibrated ordinary chondrite meteorites (53 samples). Based on the latter, we suggest spectral data may be used to distinguish whether an ordinary chondrite was formed near the surface or in the interior of its parent body. If these constraints are correct, the suggested implications include that: i) large groups of compositionally similar asteroids are a natural outcome of planetesimal formation and, consequently, meteorites within a given class can originate from multiple parent bodies; ii) the surfaces of large (up to ~200km) S-type main-belt asteroids expose mostly the interiors of the primordial bodies, a likely consequence of impacts by small asteroids (D, Accepted for publication in ApJ
