Rapid formation of binary asteroid systems post rotational failure: a recipe for making atypically shaped satellites
John Wimarsson, Zhen Xiang, Fabio Ferrari +4
Binary asteroid formation is a highly complex process, which has been highlighted with recent observations of satellites with unexpected shapes, such as the oblate Dimorphos by the…
Impact disruption of Bjurböle porous chondritic projectile
Tomas Kohout, Maurizio Pajola, Assi-Johanna Soini +10
The ~200 m/s impact of a single 400-kg Bjurböle L/LL ordinary chondrite meteorite onto sea ice resulted in the catastrophic disruption of the projectile. This resulted in a signifi…
Macro-scale roughness reveals the complex history of asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos
Jean-Baptiste Vincent, Erik Asphaug, Olivier Barnouin +22
Morphological mapping is a fundamental step in studying the processes that shaped an asteroid surface. Yet, it is challenging and often requires multiple independent assessments by…
Lessons learned from NASA's DART impact about disrupting rubble-pile asteroids
S. D. Raducan, M. Jutzi, C. C. Merrill +4
We present a series of numerical simulations using a shock physics smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code, investigating energetic impacts on small celestial bodies characteris…
Direct -body simulations of satellite formation around small asteroids: insights from DART's encounter with the Didymos system
Harrison F. Agrusa, Yun Zhang, Derek C. Richardson +18
We explore binary asteroid formation by spin-up and rotational disruption considering the NASA DART mission's encounter with the Didymos-Dimorphos binary, which was the first small…
