Modeling of the Yarkovsky effect. I. Thermal dependence
O. Golubov, O. Mikhalchenko, V. Lipatova +1
We investigate how the Yarkovsky effect created by one flat surface element on the asteroid depends on the thermal parameter. Then we integrate the Yarkovsky force over the surface…
The Strength and Shapes of Contact Binary Objectcts
Alex J Meyer, Daniel J Scheeres
While contact binary objects are common in the solar system, their formation mechanism is unclear. In this work we examine several contact binaries and calculate the necessary stre…
Direct -body simulations of satellite formation around small asteroids: insights from DART's encounter with the Didymos system
Harrison F. Agrusa, Yun Zhang, Derek C. Richardson +18
We explore binary asteroid formation by spin-up and rotational disruption considering the NASA DART mission's encounter with the Didymos-Dimorphos binary, which was the first small…
The Perturbed Full Two-Body Problem: Application to Post-DART Didymos
Alex J. Meyer, Harrison F. Agrusa, Derek C. Richardson +19
With the successful impact of the NASA DART spacecraft in the Didymos-Dimorphos binary asteroid system, we provide an initial analysis of the post-impact perturbed binary asteroid…
The hazardous km-sized NEOs of the next thousands of years
Oscar Fuentes-Muñoz, Daniel J. Scheeres, Davide Farnocchia +1
The catalog of km-sized near-Earth objects (NEOs) is nearly complete. Typical impact monitoring analyses search for possible impacts over the next 100 years and none of the km-size…
Mineralogical Characterization and Phase Angle Study of Two Binary Near-Earth Asteroids, Potential Targets for NASA's Janus Mission
Lucille Le Corre, Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy +5
Ground-based characterization of spacecraft targets prior to mission operations is critical to properly plan and execute measurements. Understanding surface properties, like minera…
