The Dynamical Origins of the Dark Comets and a Proposed Evolutionary Track
Aster G. Taylor, Jordan K. Steckloff, Darryl Z. Seligman +5
So-called 'dark comets' are small, morphologically inactive near-Earth objects (NEOs) that exhibit nongravitational accelerations inconsistent with radiative effects. These objects…
NEOMOD 3: The Debiased Size Distribution of Near Earth Objects
David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Frank Shelly +9
Our previous model (NEOMOD2) for the orbital and absolute magnitude distribution of Near Earth Objects (NEOs) was calibrated on the Catalina Sky Survey observations between 2013 an…
Detectability of the Yarkovsky Effect in the Main Belt
Denise Hung, David J. Tholen, Davide Farnocchia +1
We attempt to a detect signal of Yarkovsky-related acceleration in the orbits of 134 main belt asteroids (MBAs) we observed with the University of Hawai'i 88 inch telescope, supple…
Seasonally Varying Outgassing as an Explanation for Dark Comet Accelerations
Aster G. Taylor, Davide Farnocchia, David Vokrouhlicky +3
Significant nonradial, nongravitational accelerations with magnitudes incompatible with radiation-driven effects have been reported in seven small, photometrically inactive near-Ea…
Interstellar Object Uncertainty Evolution and Effect on Fast Flyby Delivery and Required Delta-V
Declan Mages, Davide Farnocchia, Benjamin Donitz
Interstellar objects (ISOs) are small bodies that can travel through our solar system from other star systems. When present in our solar system, they represent an opportunity to st…
ASSIST: An Ephemeris-Quality Test Particle Integrator
Matthew J. Holman, Arya Akmal, Davide Farnocchia +5
We introduce ASSIST, a software package for ephemeris-quality integrations of test particles. ASSIST is an extension of the REBOUND framework and makes use of its IAS15 integrator…
