Catastrophic tidal disruption of heterogeneous rubble piles: a tale of two regimes
John Wimarsson, Eric Frizzell, Martin Jutzi +1
The way a rubble-pile body deforms or disrupts under the influence of tidal forces can be directly tied to its internal strength and configuration. Computational modelling of such…
Dynamical evolution and surface accretion of DART impact ejecta in the (65803) Didymos system
Xiaoyu Fu, Nicolo Stronati, Stefania Soldini +6
The DART spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the small moonlet of Didymos binary system, on 26 September 2022. The impact ejected dust, fragments, and boulders into the near-binary envi…
The diverse shapes of binary asteroid satellites born from sub-escape-velocity moonlet mergers
John Wimarsson, Fabio Ferrari, Martin Jutzi
Recent direct observations of atypically shaped rubble-pile satellites of sub-km asteroids in form of the spherically oblate Dimorphos and bilobate Selam challenge classical binary…
Meteoroid stream identification with HDBSCAN unsupervised clustering algorithm
Eloy Peña-Asensio, Fabio Ferrari
Accurate identification of meteoroid streams is central to understanding their origins and evolution. However, overlapping clusters and background noise hinder classification, an i…
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…
BYORP and Dissipation in Binary Asteroids: Lessons from DART
Matija Ćuk, Harrison Agrusa, Rachel H. Cueva +10
The Near-Earth binary asteroid Didymos was the target of a planetary defense demonstration mission DART in September 2022. The smaller binary component, Dimorphos, was impacted by…
Momentum Transfer from the DART Mission Kinetic Impact on Asteroid Dimorphos
Andrew F. Cheng, Harrison F. Agrusa, Brent W. Barbee +66
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission performed a kinetic impact on asteroid Dimorphos, the satellite of the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos, at 23:14 UTC on Sep…
Successful Kinetic Impact into an Asteroid for Planetary Defense
R. Terik Daly, Carolyn M. Ernst, Olivier S. Barnouin +98
While no known asteroid poses a threat to Earth for at least the next century, the catalog of near-Earth asteroids is incomplete for objects whose impacts would produce regional de…
