The spin state of asteroid Apophis and a prediction of its change during the 2029 close encounter with Earth
J. Durech, D. Vokrouhlicky, P. Pravec +23
On April 13, 2029, the asteroid Apophis will pass near Earth at a geocentric distance of about 38,000 km. Numerical models have suggested that the post-encounter spin state will cr…
Catalog of Proper Orbits for 1.25 Million Main Belt Asteroids and Discovery of 136 New Collisional Families
David Nesvorny, Fernando Roig, David Vokrouhlicky +1
The proper elements of asteroids are obtained from the instantaneous orbital elements by removing periodic oscillations produced by gravitational interactions with planets. They ar…
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…
Isotopic Trichotomy of Main Belt Asteroids from Implantation of Outer Solar System Planetesimals
David Nesvorny, Nicolas Dauphas, David Vokrouhlicky +2
Recent analyses of samples from asteroid (162173) Ryugu returned by JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission suggest that Ryugu and CI chondrites formed in the same region of the protoplanetary di…
Radial Distribution of Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects Points to Sun's Formation in a Stellar Cluster
David Nesvorny, Pedro Bernardinelli, David Vokrouhlicky +1
The Scattered Disk Objects (SDOs) are a population of trans-Neptunian bodies with semimajor axes au and perihelion distances au. The detached S…
