Asteroids: S, Chondrites: Ordinary, Interplanetary Dust Particles, Koronis

Scientific paper

The observation of dust bands associated with the Koronis family of S-type asteroids demonstrates that this family produces abundant interplanetary dust. Because of the low inclinations and eccentricities of the orbits of Koronis family members, dust from the Koronis family is enhanced in near-Earth collections. Kortenkamp et al. estimate that the Koronis family and the C-type Themis family together contribute 55% of the interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) incident on the Earth. Comparison of the chemical, physical, and mineralogical properties of the IDPs collected in the stratosphere with those properties of ordinary chondrite meteorites show few similarities, suggesting the S-type Koronis asteroids produce IDPs distinctly different in composition and structure from ordinary chondrites and that these S-asteroids are not parent bodies of ordinary chondrite meteorites.
