We simulate the collision of precursor icy moons analogous to Dione and Rhea as a possible origin for Saturn's remarkably young rings. Such an event could have been triggered a few…
Sesquinary Catastrophe For Close-In Moons with Dynamically Excited Orbits
Matija Ćuk, Douglas P. Hamilton, David A. Minton +1
We identify a new mechanism that can lead to the destruction of small, close-in planetary satellites. If a small moon close to the planet has a sizable eccentricity and inclination…
Yarkovsky-Driven Spreading of the Eureka Family of Mars Trojans
Matija Ćuk, Apostolos A. Christou, Douglas P. Hamilton
Out of nine known stable Mars Trojans, seven appear to be members of an orbital grouping including the largest Trojan, Eureka. In order to test if this could be a genetic family, w…
Hungaria Asteroid Family as the Source of Aubrite Meteorites
Matija Ćuk, Brett Gladman, David Nesvorný
The Hungaria asteroids are interior to the main asteroid belt, with semimajor axes between 1.8 and 2 AU, low eccentricities and inclinations of 16-35 degrees. Small asteroids in th…
