Shape index of Yarkovsky effect on irregularly shaped asteroids

Yining Zhang, Yang-Bo Xu, Zehua Qi +2

The Yarkovsky effect on real asteroids is complicated to calculate either by analytical or numerical methods, since they are generally irregular in shape. We propose an index to pr…

The diurnal Yarkovsky effect of irregularly shaped asteroids

Yang-Bo Xu, Li-Yong Zhou, Hejiu Hui +1

The Yarkovsky effect plays an important role in the motions of small celestial bodies. Increasingly improving observations bring the need of high-accuracy modelling of the effect.…

Trojan asteroids and co-orbital dust ring of Venus

Yang-Bo Xu, Lei Zhou, Christoph Lhotka +2

The long-standing co-orbital asteroids have been thought to be the possible source of zodiacal dust ring around the orbit of Venus, but inconsistent conclusions on the orbital stab…

Transit of asteroids across the 7/3 Kirkwood gap under the Yarkovsky effect

Yang-Bo Xu, Li-Yong Zhou, Wing-Huen Ip

Many asteroids in the main belt are continuously pushed by Yarkovsky effect into regions of different mean motion resonances (MMRs) and then ejected out. They are considered as the…

Asteroid migration due to the Yarkovsky effect and the distribution of the Eos family

Yang-Bo Xu, Li-Yong Zhou, Christoph Lhotka +1

Based on a linearized model of the Yarkovsky effect, we investigate in this paper the dependence of the semimajor axis drift of a celestial body on its size, spinning obliquit…

Orbital Stability of Earth Trojans

Lei Zhou, Yang-Bo Xu, Li-Yong Zhou +2

The only discovery of Earth Trojan 2010 TK and the subsequent launch of OSIRIS-REx motive us to investigate the stability around the triangular Lagrange points and …
