Machine Learning applied to asteroid dynamics
V. Carruba, S. Aljbaae, R. C. Domingos +2
Machine Learning (ML) is the branch of computer science that studies computer algorithms that can learn from data. It is mainly divided into supervised learning, where the computer…
Footprints of a possible Ceres asteroid paleo-family
V. Carruba, D. Nesvorný, S. Marchi +1
Ceres is the largest and most massive body in the asteroid main belt. Observational data from the Dawn spacecraft reveal the presence of at least two impact craters about 280~km in…
Dynamics in the vicinity of (101955) Bennu: Solar radiation pressure effects in equatorial orbits
T. G. G. Chanut, S. Aljbaae, A. F. B. A. Prado +1
Here we study the dynamical effects of the solar radiation pressure (SRP) on a spacecraft that will survey the near-Earth rotating asteroid (101955) Bennu when the projected shadow…
Dynamical evolution and chronology of the Hygiea asteroid family
V. Carruba, R. C. Domingos, M. E. Huaman +2
The asteroid (10) Hygiea is the fourth largest asteroid of the Main Belt, by volume and mass, and it is the largest member of its own family. Previous works investigated the long-t…
A multi-domain approach to asteroid families identification
V. Carruba, R. C. Domingos, D. Nesvorný +3
Previous works have identified families halos by an analysis in proper elements domains, or by using Sloan Digital Sky Survey-Moving Object Catalog data, fourth release (SDSS-MOC4)…
The invisible threat: assessing the collisional hazard posed by the undiscovered Venus co-orbital asteroids
V. Carruba, R. Sfair, R. A. Araujo +7
Currently, 20 co-orbital asteroids of Venus are known, with only one with an eccentricity below 0.38. This is most likely caused by observational biases since asteroids with larger…
