An experimental approach to understanding the optical effects of space weathering (2007, background): “As the concept of space weathering has become more accepted (e.g., Chapman, 2004 ), it has been repeatedly suggested that the spectral differences between S-type asteroids and ordinary chondrites can be accounted for by very small amounts of lunar-like space weathering products (i.e.”
Chondrules and the Protoplanetary Disk (2011, background): “Ordinary chondrites probably come from asteroids with radii of ∼100 km (Trieloff et al. 2003) with the spectral characteristics of S-type asteroids, which are concentrated in the inner belt (Burbine et al. 2002, Chapman 2004).”
X-rays from solar system objects (2007, background): “While asteroids are often considered primitive bodies, in fact the amount of evolution they have undergone varies widely (Chapman, 2004).”
The hazard of near-Earth asteroid impacts on earth (2004, background): “Mineralogical compositions of NEAs are assessed from absorption bands and other spectral signatures in reflected visible and near-infrared sunlight, after accounting for modification of the optical properties of surface minerals by the solar wind and micrometeoroid bombardment (‘‘space weathering’’,”
MAIN BELT ASTEROIDS WITH WISE/NEOWISE. I. PRELIMINARY ALBEDOS AND DIAMETERS (2011, background): “Chapman (2004) gives an overview of space weathering effects, a process that is generally thought to darken and redden surfaces of atmosphereless bodies in the Solar system.”
Irradiation of olivine by 4 keV He+: Simulation of space weathering by the solar wind (2009, background): “Introduction [2] Space weathering is the physical and chemical alteration of surfaces of airless bodies exposed to the space environment [Hapke, 2001; Clark et al., 2002; Chapman, 2004].”
Full numerical simulations of catastrophic small body collisions (2008, background): “While space weathering processes tend to darken and redden the surfaces of asteroids (Chapman 2004), the net effect in the Kuiper belt has been difficult to quantify, partly because of the unknown surface composition and chemistry.”
Mercury’s Weather-Beaten Surface: Understanding Mercury in the Context of Lunar and Asteroidal Space Weathering Studies (2014, background): “Solar-wind ion irradiation has been argued to be the dominant mechanism for weathering asteroid surfaces (Pieters et al. 2000; Chapman 2004; Vernazza et al. 2009).”
The Effect of Jupiter's Formation on the Distribution of Refractory Elements and Inclusions in Meteorites (2017, background): “OCs are linked based on spectra and other factors to S-type asteroids (Chapman 2004), found between 2 and 3 AU, and which predominate from 2 to 2.5 AU.”
Evidence for asteroid space weathering from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2005, background): “The former result confirm findings ofJedicke et al. (2004)and is consistent with pre vious studies of space weathering by remote sensing ground-based spectrophotometry (seeClark et al., 2002a Chapman, 2004, for reviews).”
Yarkovsky/YORP chronology of asteroid families (2006, background): “For example, many observed family members have had their spectroscopic properties affected by space weathering processes (e.g., Chapman, 2004; Jedicke et al., 2004; Nesvorný et al., 2005).”
A new method to determine the grain size of planetary regolith (2012, background): “As mentioned above, previous studies have shown that hyper-velocity impacts lead to a size discrimination of the regolith, which consists of those impact fragments whose velocities did not exceed the escape speed of the parent body (Chapman, 1976; Housen and Wilkening, 1982; Chapman, 2004).”
