About

Kevin Righter is a Professor at the University of Rochester in the United States. His research primarily focuses on planetary science, including the study of noble gases in CO chondrites, the thermal alteration of parent bodies, and the mineralogy of celestial bodies such as Mars. Recent publications highlight his work on asteroid samples, including analysis of the properties collected by OSIRIS-REx and insights into the evolution of planetary bodies based on isotopic fractionation.
