• HED Meteorites and Their Relationship to the Geology of Vesta and the Dawn Mission (2011, background): “…into jovian and secular resonances (and thence into Earth-crossing orbits) have been overcome by the discovery of numerous <10 km Vesta family asteroids (“Vestoids,” which are dynamically linked to Vesta) having spectra similar to HEDs (Binzel and Xu 1993; Vilas et al., 2000; Burbine et al. 2001).”
• Dawn Mission to Vesta and Ceres (2007, methodology): “This hypothesis was confirmed by the identification of a Vesta dynamical family (Williams 1989; Zappalá et al. 1990) and the discovery that these objects have a surface composition similar to Vesta (Binzel et al. 1993; Burbine et al. 2001).”
• SDSS-based taxonomic classification and orbital distribution of main belt asteroids (2010, background): “This class is firmly associated with HED meteorites (McCord et al. 1970), and is observed mostly in and around the Vesta family (Binzel & Xu 1993; Burbine et al. 2001; Florczak et al. 2002; Alvarez-Candal et al. 2006) in the inner main belt, with a few observed in the intermediate (Binzel et al.…”
• The fossilized size distribution of the main asteroid belt (2003, background): “Collisional modeling results suggest this impact ev is responsible for the so-called Vestoids, a family ofD < 10 km asteroids on Vesta-like orbits whose spectral feat strongly resemble eucrites and howardites(Marzari et al., 1996; Burbine et al., 2001).”
• Mineralogies and source regions of near-Earth asteroids (2013, methodology): “Since then, spectral studies of primitive achondrites (Hiroi and Takeda, 1991; Burbine et al., 2001, 2006) and ureilites (Cloutis et al., 2010) have broadened the usage spectral parameters as tool for determining meteorite analogues from VISNIR asteroid spectra.”
