Formation of asteroid pairs by rotational fission
P. Pravec, D. Vokrouhlicky, D. Polishook +23
Asteroid pairs sharing similar heliocentric orbits were found recently. Backward integrations of their orbits indicated that they separated gently with low relative velocities, but…
YORP effect with anisotropic radiation
Slawomir Breiter, David Vokrouhlicky
The influence of optical scattering and thermal radiation models an the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect is studied. Lambertian formulation is compared with Hapk…
Do Planetary Encounters Reset Surfaces of Near Earth Asteroids?
David Nesvorny, William F. Bottke, David Vokrouhlicky +2
Processes such as the solar wind sputtering and micrometeorite impacts can modify optical properties of surfaces of airless bodies. This explains why spectra of the main belt aster…
Searching for Trojan Asteroids in the HD 209458 System: Space-based MOST Photometry and Dynamical Modeling
Reka Moldovan, Jaymie M. Matthews, Brett Gladman +2
We have searched Microvariability and Oscillations of STars (MOST) satellite photometry obtained in 2004, 2005, and 2007 of the solar-type star HD 209458 for Trojan asteroid swarms…
