THE STOCHASTIC EVOLUTION OF ASTEROIDAL REGOLITHS AND THE ORIGIN OF BRECCIATED AND GAS-RICH METEORITES
A model is constructed which views regolith evolution on asteroids as a stochastic process. Average values are shown to be poor descriptors of regolith depth. Large deviations from the average are expected to occur due both to variations in the depth over the surface of a body and to stochastic fluc...
