Ehlmann, B. L.; Usui, F.; Kurokawa, H. +4 more

Volatile compositions of asteroids provide information on the Solar System history and the origins of Earth's volatiles. Visible to near-infrared observations at wavelengths of <2.5 µm have suggested a genetic link between outer main belt asteroids located at 2.5-4 au and carbonaceous chondrite meteorites (CCs) that show isotopic similarities t…
