Limiting behavior of asteroid obliquity and spin using a semi-analytic thermal model of the YORP effect
Oleksiy Golubov, Vladyslav Unukovych, Daniel J. Scheeres
The Yarkovsky--O'Keefe--Radzievskii--Paddack (YORP) effect governs the spin evolution of small asteroids. The axial component of YORP, which alters the rotation rate of the asteroi…

A new equilibrium state for singly synchronous binary asteroids
Oleksiy Golubov, Vladyslav Unukovych, Daniel J. Scheeres
The evolution of rotation states of small asteroids is governed by the YORP effect, nonetheless some asteroids can stop their YORP evolution by attaining a stable equilibrium. The…
