Orbital effects on time delay interferometry for TianQin

Ming-Yue Zhou, Xin-Chun Hu, Bobing Ye +5

The proposed space-borne laser interferometric gravitational wave (GW) observatory TianQin adopts a geocentric orbit for its nearly equilateral triangular constellation formed by t…

Sublimation as an effective mechanism for flattened lobes of (486958) Arrokoth

Yuhui Zhao, Ladislav Rezac, Yuri Skorov +3

The New Horizons spacecraft's flyby of Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) (486958) Arrokoth revealed a bilobed shape with highly flattened lobes both aligned to its equatorial plane, and a r…

Critical spin periods of sub-km-sized cohesive rubble-pile asteroids: dependencies on material parameters

Shoucun Hu, Derek C. Richardson, Yun Zhang +1

In this work, we employ a soft-sphere discrete element method with a cohesion implementation to model the dynamical process of sub-km-sized cohesive rubble piles under continuous s…

The formation mechanism of 4179 Toutatis' elongated bi-lobed structure in a close Earth encounter scenario

Shoucun Hu, Jianghui Ji, Derek C. Richardson +2

The optical images of near-Earth asteroid 4179 Toutatis acquired by Chang'e-2 spacecraft show that Toutatis has an elongated contact binary configuration, with the contact point lo…

Fundamentals of the orbit and response for TianQin

Xin-Chun Hu, Xiao-Hong Li, Yan Wang +6

TianQin is a space-based laser interferometric gravitational wave detector aimed at detecting gravitational waves at low frequencies (0.1 mHz -- 1 Hz). It is formed by three identi…

Using Chebyshev polynomials interpolation to improve the computation efficiency of gravity near an irregular-shaped asteroid

Shoucun Hu, Jianghui Ji

In asteroid rendezvous missions, the dynamical environment near the asteroid's surface should be made clear prior to the mission launch. However, most of the asteroids have irregul…
