Investigation of Mobility-related Surface Features on Asteroids and their Relation to Volatiles

Abstract

The identification of regolith material and mass movement processes on icy planetary bodies has grabbed the attention of scientist in the past decades. The well preserved signatures of these materials have been well studied on Moon and Mars. In fact, studies show strong synergy between these physical processes and chemical properties of the planetary objects. With the aim to get better understanding of asteroid surface we plan to analyse mobility related features and establish an inventory.
