An Open Benchmark of One Million High-Fidelity Cislunar Trajectories
Travis Yeager, Denvir Higgins, Peter Mcgill +4
Cislunar space spans from geosynchronous altitudes to beyond the Moon and will underpin future exploration, science, and security operations. We describe and release an open datase…
Predicting Cislunar Orbit Lifetimes from Initial Orbital Elements
Denvir Higgins, Travis Yeager, Peter McGill +4
Cislunar space is the volume between Earth's geosynchronous orbit and beyond the Moon, including the lunar Lagrange points. Understanding the stability of orbits within this space…
MEGASIM: Distribution and Detection of Earth Trojan Asteroids
Travis Yeager, Nathan Golovich, Kerianne Pruett
Using N-body simulation results from the MEGASIM dataset, we present spatial distributions of Earth Trojan Asteroids and assess the detectability of the population in current and n…
MEGASIM: Lifetimes and Resonances of Earth Trojan Asteroids -- The Death of Primordial ETAs?
Travis Yeager, Nathan Golovich
We present an analysis of lifetimes and resonances of Earth Trojan Asteroids (ETAs) in the MEGASIM data set (Yeager & Golovich 2022). Trojan asteroids co-orbit the Sun with a plane…
A Search for L4 Earth Trojan Asteroids Using a Novel Track-Before-Detect Multi-Epoch Pipeline
Noah Lifset, Nathan Golovich, Eric Green +2
Earth Trojan Asteroids are an important but elusive population that co-orbit with Earth at the L4 and L5 Lagrange points. There is only one known, but a large population is theoret…
