Analysis of Karin and Koronis2 asteroid families: new findings and challenges
David Vokrouhlický, David Nesvorný, William F. Bottke
We use our home catalog of the asteroid proper elements to study the Karin family. The hierarchical clustering method provides formal identification with 3,863 members, but this se…
Rotational Light-curve Recovery and Predictions of the LSST Yield of Hildas
Alexander J. Fleming, Jacob A. Kurlander, Dmitrii E. Vavilov +4
The Hilda population occupies the stable 3:2 mean-motion resonance of Jupiter and provides a window into solar system evolution, including collisional processes. The National Scien…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Young asteroid families as the primary source of meteorites
M. Brož, P. Vernazza, M. Marsset +4
Understanding the origin of bright shooting stars and their meteorite samples is among the most ancient astronomy-related questions that at larger scales has human consequences [1-…
Debiased population of very young asteroid families
David Vokrouhlický, David Nesvorný, Miroslav Brož +1
We use observations from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) to determine the bias-corrected population of small members in four very young families down to sizes equivalent to several h…
