Hypervelocity experiments on iron-rich materials at representative main asteroid belt impact speeds give invaluable
insights on the evolution of regolith on iron-rich asteroids and
on the response of these bodies to hypervelocity impacts. After
our previous investigations of impacts on iron meteorites, this
study presents the results of a campaign of hypervelocity
impact experiments on natural mesosiderite targets.
We show:
1. The fragile behavior of mesosiderites at impact, since
experiments result in both cratering and catastrophic
disruption;
2. The influence of the original metal/silicate ratio on the
ductile/fragile behavior of metal-rich asteroids at
impact; and
3. The preservation of the initial vis–NIR spectral signature
in impacted mesosiderites and their ejecta, which
dominated by the spectra of pyroxene minerals characterized by their bands at 0.9 μm and 2 μm.
Our results thus rule out the mesosiderite hypothesis for the
very nature of M/X-type asteroids including (16) Psyche,
despite a small fraction of its surface possibly being covered by
mesosiderite-like materials. Finally, we address the question of
whether mesosiderites and HED meteorites are genetically
linked to (4) Vesta and conclude that mesosiderites may well
originate from other differentiated asteroids of the main belt.
