Abstract We present the results of a campaign of hypervelocity impact experiments on natural mesosiderite targets, using representative main asteroid belt impact speeds. The objective is to document further the surface evolution of iron-rich asteroids. In contrast with iron meteorites, we demonstrate the fragile behavior of mesosiderite at...

Several arguments point to a larger proportion of metal-rich asteroids than that derived from spectral observations, as remnants of collisional disruptions of differentiated bodies. We show experimentally that this apparent deficit may result from the coating of metallic surfaces by silicate melts produced during impacts of hydrated or dry...
