Shape, regolith size and thickness, SMFe^0 content, and spectral type of Tianwen-2 target asteroid (469219) Kamo'oalewa
Pengfei Zhang, Guozheng Zhang, Yongxiong Zhang +13
China's Tianwen-2 spacecraft will return samples from the near-Earth asteroid (469219) Kamo'oalewa. We previously reported that Kamo'oalewa develops an LL-chondrite-compositional,…
Tianwen-2 target asteroid (469219) Kamo'oalewa probably develops an Itokawa-compositional but ultra-highly space-weathered surface
Pengfei Zhang, Guozheng Zhang, Zichen Wei +45
China's Tianwen-2 mission plans to return samples from a small, rapidly spinning Earth quasi-satellite (469219) Kamo'oalewa. Previous studies linked Kamo'oalewa to lunar compositio…
Developing and characterizing a new-generation regolith simulant "IGCAS-AST01" for the Tianwen-2 target asteroid (469219) Kamo'oalewa
Pengfei Zhang, Zichen Wei, Takahiro Hiroi +12
China plans to return samples from the near-Earth asteroid (469219) Kamo'oalewa, which we previously identified as an LL-chondrite-compositional, highly space-weathered object with…
Origin of asteroid (469219) Kamo`oalewa: the main asteroid belt or the Giordano Bruno crater on the Moon?
M. Fenucci, B. Novaković, M. Granvik +1
Asteroid Kamo`oalewa is the target of the Tianwen-2 sample-return mission by CNSA. Because of its orbit and its spectral properties, it was proposed that Kamo`oalewa originated fro…
ASTERIA -- Asteroid Thermal Inertia Analyzer
Bojan Novaković, Marco Fenucci, Dušan Marčeta +1
Thermal inertia estimates are available for a limited number of a few hundred objects, and the results are practically solely based on thermophysical modeling (TPM). We present a n…
The low surface thermal inertia of the rapidly rotating near-Earth asteroid 2016 GE1
Marco Fenucci, Bojan Novaković, Dušan Marčeta
Asteroids smaller than about 100 meters are observed to rotate very fast, with periods often much shorter than the critical limit of 2.2 h. Some of these super-fast rotators can al…
Maps of secular resonances in the NEO region
M. Fenucci, G. F. Gronchi, B. Novaković
Context. From numerical simulations, it is known that some secular resonances may affect the motion of near-Earth objects (NEOs). However, the specific location of the secular reso…
Mercury and OrbFit packages for the numerical integration of planetary systems: implementation of the Yarkovsky and YORP effects
Marco Fenucci, Bojan Novaković
For studies of the long-term evolution of small Solar System objects, it is fundamental to add the Yarkovsky and Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effects in the dynamic…
Low thermal conductivity of the superfast rotator (499998) 2011 PT
Marco Fenucci, Bojan Novaković, David Vokrouhlický +1
Context: Asteroids with a diameter of up to a few dozen meters may spin very fast and complete an entire rotation within a few minutes. These small and fast-rotating bodies are tho…
