Discovery of 63 New Young Asteroid Families
David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Miroslav Broz +1
We searched for young asteroid families -- those with ages t_age < 10 Myr and at least three members -- using the proper element catalog from Nesvorny et al. (2024). Our approach e…
Terrestrial Planet Formation from Two Source Reservoirs
David Nesvorny, Alessandro Morbidelli, William F. Bottke +2
This work describes new dynamical simulations of terrestrial planet formation. The simulations started at the protoplanetary disk stage, when planetesimals formed and accreted into…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Near-Earth Objects, Main Belt Asteroids, Jupiter Trojans, and Trans-Neptunian Objects
Jacob A. Kurlander, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Megan E. Schwamb +18
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a new 8m-class survey facility presently being commissioned in Chile, expected to begin the 10yr-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST…
Size-Frequency Distribution of Terrestrial Leftover Planetesimals and S-complex Implanted Asteroids
Rogerio Deienno, Andre Izidoro, David Nesvorny +3
The isotopic composition of meteorites linked to S-complex asteroids has been used to suggest that these asteroids originated in the terrestrial planet's region, i.e., within 1.5 a…
Orbit, meteoroid size, and cosmic ray exposure history of the Aguas Zarcas CM2 breccia
Peter Jenniskens, Gerardo J. Soto, Gabriel Goncalves Silva +21
The Aguas Zarcas (Costa Rica) CM2 carbonaceous chondrite fell during night time in April 2019. Security and dashboard camera video of the meteor were analyzed to provide a trajecto…
Dust-void evolution driven by turbulent dust flux can induce runaway migration of Earth-mass planets
R. O. Chametla, O. Chrenko, F. S. Masset +2
Torques from asymmetric dust structures (so-called dust-void and filamentary structures) formed around low-mass planets embedded in a non turbulent dust-gas disk can exceed the tor…
Compositional Outcomes of Earth Formation from a Narrow Ring
Katherine I. Dale, Alessandro Morbidelli, David C. Rubie +1
We address Earth formation from an elemental perspective, using a method similar to Rubie et al. (2015) but with updates from Dale et al. (2023) to simulate the chemical evolution…
A pre-flyby view on the origin of asteroid Donaldjohanson, a target of the NASA Lucy mission
Simone Marchi, David Vokrouhlický, David Nesvorný +3
The NASA Lucy mission is scheduled to fly-by the main belt asteroid (52246) Donaldjohanson on April 20, 2025. Donaldjohanson (DJ hereafter) is a member of the primitive (C-type cla…
Orbital and absolute magnitude distribution of Hilda population
David Vokrouhlický, David Nesvorný, Miroslav Brož +4
The Hilda population of asteroids is located in a large orbital zone of long-term stability associated with the Jupiter J3/2 mean motion resonance. They are a sister population of…
A Spiral Structure in the Inner Oort Cloud
David Nesvorny, Luke Dones, David Vokrouhlicky +5
As the Galactic tide acts to decouple bodies from the scattered disk it creates a spiral structure in physical space that is roughly 15,000 au in length. The spiral is long-lived a…
Occultation constraints on solar system formation models
Marc W. Buie, John M. Keller, David Nesvorny +1
The process by which a system of non-luminous bodies form around a star is fundamental to understanding the origins of our own solar system and how it fits into the context of othe…
Reassessing the origin and evolution of Ecliptic Comets in the Planet-9 Scenario
Rafael Ribeiro, Andre Izidoro, Alessandro Morbidelli +2
A group of newly observed extreme trans-Neptunian objects exhibit unexpected orbital confinement, characterized by the alignment of orbital angular momentum vectors and apsidal lin…
