An Earth Encounter As the Cause of Chaotic Dynamics in Binary Asteroid (35107) 1991VH
Alex J Meyer, Oscar Fuentes-Muñoz, Ioannis Gkolias +4
Among binary asteroids, (35107) 1991VH stands out as unique given the likely chaotic rotation within its secondary component. The source of this excited dynamical state is unknown.…
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…
Apsidal Precession in Binary Asteroids
Alex J Meyer, Daniel J Scheeres
While the secondary in a binary asteroid plays an important role in the precession of the mutual orbit, this role has not been thoroughly studied. Given the complex spin-orbit coup…
Structure of Periodic Orbit Families in the Hill Restricted 4-Body Problem
Gavin M. Brown, Luke T. Peterson, Damennick B. Henry +1
The Hill Restricted 4-Body Problem (HR4BP) is a coherent time-periodic model that can be used to represent motion in the Sun-Earth-Moon (SEM) system. Periodic orbits were computed…
Dynamics Around the Earth-Moon Triangular Points in the Hill Restricted 4-Body Problem
Luke T. Peterson, Gavin Brown, Àngel Jorba +1
This paper investigates the motion of a small particle moving near the triangular points of the Earth-Moon system. The dynamics are modeled in the Hill restricted 4-body problem (H…
