Asteroid cratering families: recognition and collisional interpretation
Andrea Milani, Zoran Knežević, Federica Spoto +1
We continue our investigation of the bulk properties of asteroid dynamical families identified using only asteroid proper elements (Milani et al. 2014) to provide plausible collisi…
Asteroid secular dynamics: Ceres' fingerprint identified
Bojan Novaković, Clara Maurel, Georgios Tsirvoulis +1
Here we report on the significant role of a so far overlooked dynamical aspect, namely a secular resonance between the dwarf planet Ceres and other asteroids. We demonstrate that t…
Asteroid family ages
Federica Spoto, Andrea Milani, Zoran Knezevic
A new family classification, based on a catalog of proper elements with numbered asteroids and on new methods is available. For the dynamical families with $>25…
Asteroid families classification: exploiting very large data sets
Andrea Milani, Alberto Cellino, Zoran Knezevic +3
The number of asteroids with accurately determined orbits increases fast. The catalogs of asteroid physical observations have also increased, although the number of objects is stil…
Recent collisional jet from a primitive asteroid
Bojan Novakovic, Aldo Dell'Oro, Alberto Cellino +1
Here we show an example of a young asteroid cluster located in a dynamically stable region, which was produced by partial disruption of a primitive body about 30 km in size. We est…
Identification of known objects in solar system surveys
Andrea Milani, Zoran Knezevic, Davide Farnocchia +9
The discovery of new objects in modern wide-field asteroid and comet surveys can be enhanced by first identifying observations belonging to known solar system objects. The assignat…
Families among high-inclination asteroids
Bojan Novakovic, Alberto Cellino, Zoran Knezevic
We present a new classification of families identified among the population of high-inclination asteroids. We computed synthetic proper elements for a sample of 18,560 numbered and…
LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
Chaotic Transport and Chronology of Complex Asteroid Families
Bojan Novakovic, Kleomenis Tsiganis, Zoran Knezevic
We present a transport model that describes the orbital diffusion of asteroids in chaotic regions of the 3-D space of proper elements. Our goal is to use a simple random-walk model…
Orbit Determination with Topocentric Correction: Algorithms for the Next Generation Surveys
Andrea Milani, Giovanni F. Gronchi, Davide Farnocchia +4
Given a set of astrometric observations of the same object, the problem of orbit determination is to compute the orbit and to assess its uncertainty and reliability. For the next g…
