Synchronisation of a tidal binary by inward orbital migration. The case of Pluto and Charon

Michael Efroimsky, Michaela Walterova, Yeva Gevorgyan +3

It is usually taken for granted that mutual synchronisation of a tidal two-body system is attained through tidal recession, assuming the reduced Hill sphere is not reached. However…

Catastrophic disruption of asteroid 2023 CX1 and implications for planetary defense

Auriane Egal, Denis Vida, François Colas +94

Mitigation of the threat from airbursting asteroids requires an understanding of the potential risk they pose for the ground. How asteroids release their kinetic energy in the atmo…

Different arrival times of CM and CI-like bodies from the outer Solar System to the asteroid belt

Sarah E. Anderson, Pierre Vernazza, Miroslav Brož

Understanding the provenance of CI and CM chondrites, the most primitive materials in our meteorite collections, is critical for shedding light on the Solar System's early evolutio…

Multi-scale radiative-transfer model of the protoplanetary disc DoAr 44

Marco Souza de Joode, Miroslav Brož

We aim to construct a comprehensive global multi-scale kinematic equilibrium radiative-transfer model for the pre-transitional disc of DoAr 44 (Haro 1-16, V2062 Oph) in the Ophiuch…

A dynamical dichotomy in large binary asteroids

K. Minker, B. Carry, F. Vachier +20

No less than 15% of large (diameter greater than 140 km) asteroids have satellites. The commonly accepted mechanism for their formation is post-impact reaccumulation. However, the…

Resurgence of CO in a warm bubble around accreting protoplanets and its observability

O. Chrenko, S. Casassus, R. O. Chametla

The cold outer regions of protoplanetary disks are expected to contain a midplane-centered layer where gas-phase CO molecules freeze out and their overall abundance is low. The lay…

Confined tumbling state as the origin of the excess of slowly rotating asteroids

Wen-Han Zhou, Patrick Michel, Marco Delbo +4

The rotational distribution of asteroids as a function of their size is used {as a diagnostic of} their physical properties and evolution. Recent photometric surveys from the Gaia…

JWST sighting of decameter main-belt asteroids and view on meteorite sources

Artem Y. Burdanov, Julien de Wit, Miroslav Brož +19

Asteroid discoveries are essential for planetary-defense efforts aiming to prevent impacts with Earth, including the more frequent megaton explosions from decameter impactors. Whil…

Insights on the Rotational State and Shape of Asteroid (203) Pompeja from TESS Photometry

Oriel A. Humes, Josef Hanuš

The Main Belt asteroid (203) Pompeja shows evidence of extreme variability in visible and near-infrared spectral slope with time. The observed spectral variability has been hypothe…

Impact sculpting of the early martian atmosphere

Oliver Shorttle, Homa Saeidfirozeh, Paul Rimmer +4

Intense bombardment of solar system planets in the immediate aftermath of protoplanetary disk dissipation has played a key role in their atmospheric evolution. During this epoch, e…

Spin states of X-complex asteroids in the inner main belt -- I. Investigating the Athor and Zita collisional families

D. Athanasopoulos, J. Hanuš, C. Avdellidou +14

The aim of our study is to characterise the spin states of the members of the Athor and Zita collisional families and test whether these members have a spin distribution consistent…

Pebble-driven migration of low-mass planets in the 2D regime of pebble accretion

O. Chrenko, R. O. Chametla, F. S. Masset +2

<Context> Pebbles drifting past a disk-embedded low-mass planet develop asymmetries in their distribution and exert a substantial gravitational torque on the planet, thus modifying…

The Yarkovsky effect on the long-term evolution of binary asteroids

Wen-Han Zhou, David Vokrouhlicky, Masanori Kanamaru +4

We explore the Yarkovsky effect on small binary asteroids. While significant attention has been given to the binary YORP effect, the Yarkovsky effect is often overlooked. We develo…

Origin and Evolution of Jupiter's Trojan Asteroids

William F. Bottke, Raphael Marschall, David Nesvorný +1

The origin of the Jupiter Trojan asteroids has long been a mystery. Dynamically, the population, which is considerably smaller than the main asteroid belt, librates around Jupiter'…

A Crater Chronology for the Jupiter's Asteroids

S. Marchi, D. Nesvorný, D. Vokrouhlický +2

We present a new crater chronology for Jupiter's Trojan asteroids. This tool can be used to interpret the collisional history of the bodies observed by NASA's Lucy mission. The Luc…
