The Clarissa family is a small collisional family composed of primitive C-type asteroids. It is located in a dynamically stable zone of the inner asteroid belt. In this work we det…
OSSOS XX: The Meaning of Kuiper Belt Colors
David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Mike Alexandersen +9
Observations show that 100-km-class Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) can be divided in (at least) two color groups, hereafter red (R, g-i<1.2) and very red (VR, g-i>1.2), reflecting a di…
Analytical solution of the Colombo top problem
J. Haponiak, S. Breiter, D. Vokrouhlicky
The Colombo top is a basic model in the rotation dynamics of a celestial body moving on a precessing orbit and perturbed by a gravitational torque. The paper presents a detailed st…
Very Slow Rotators from Tidally Synchronized Binaries
D. Nesvorny, D. Vokrouhlicky, W. F. Bottke +2
A recent examination of K2 lightcurves indicates that ~15% of Jupiter Trojans have very slow rotation (spin periods Ps>100 h). Here we consider the possibility that these bodies fo…
