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…
A semi-analytical thermal model for craters with application to the crater-induced YORP effect
Wen-Han Zhou, Patrick Michel
Context. The YORP effect is the thermal torque generated by radiation from the surface of an asteroid. The effect is sensitive to surface topology, including small-scale roughness,…
The Yarkovsky effect on the long-term evolution of binary asteroids
Wen-Han Zhou, David Vokrouhlicky, Masanori Kanamaru +4
We explore the Yarkovsky effect on small binary asteroids. While significant attention has been given to the binary YORP effect, the Yarkovsky effect is often overlooked. We develo…
Physical properties of asteroid Dimorphos as derived from the DART impact
S. D. Raducan, M. Jutzi, A. F. Cheng +39
On September 26, 2022, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission successfully impacted Dimorphos, the natural satellite of the binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didym…
Direct -body simulations of satellite formation around small asteroids: insights from DART's encounter with the Didymos system
Harrison F. Agrusa, Yun Zhang, Derek C. Richardson +18
We explore binary asteroid formation by spin-up and rotational disruption considering the NASA DART mission's encounter with the Didymos-Dimorphos binary, which was the first small…
