Energy Dissipation in Synchronous Binary Asteroids
Alex J. Meyer, Daniel J. Scheeres, Harrison F. Agrusa +5
Synchronous binary asteroids can experience libration about their tidally-locked equilibrium, which will result in energy dissipation. This is an important topic to the Asteroid Im…
Predictions for the Dynamical States of the Didymos System before and after the Planned DART Impact
Derek C. Richardson, Harrison F. Agrusa, Brent Barbee +33
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is planned to impact the natural satellite of (65803) Didymos, Dimorphos, around 23:14 UTC on 26 September 2022, causing a…
Internal rubble properties of asteroid (101955) Bennu
P. Tricarico, D. J. Scheeres, A. S. French +24
Exploration of asteroid (101955) Bennu by the OSIRIS-REx mission has provided an in-depth look at this rubble-pile near-Earth asteroid. In particular, the measured gravity field an…
A satellite orbit drift in binary near-Earth asteroids (66391) 1999 KW4 and (88710) 2001 SL9 -- Indication of the BYORP effect
P. Scheirich, P. Pravec, P. Kušnirák +34
We obtained thorough photometric observations of two binary near-Earth asteroids (66391) Moshup = 1999 KW4 and (88710) 2001 SL9 taken from 2000 to 2019 and derived physical and dyn…
The Formation of the Wide Asynchronous Binary Asteroid Population
Seth A. Jacobson, Daniel J. Scheeres, Jay McMahon
We propose and analyze a new mechanism for the formation of the wide asynchronous binary population. These binary asteroids have wide semi-major axes relative to most near-Earth an…
Dynamic Limits on Planar Libration-Orbit Coupling Around an Oblate Primary
Jay W. McMahon, Daniel J. Scheeres
This paper explores the dynamic properties of the planar system of an ellipsoidal satellite in an equatorial orbit about an oblate primary. In particular, we investigate the condit…
