Validating N-body code Chrono for granular DEM simulations in reduced-gravity environments

Cecily Sunday, Naomi Murdoch, Simon Tardivel +2

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is frequently used to model complex granular systems and to augment the knowledge that we obtain through theory, experimentation, and real-world o…

Spin-driven evolution of asteroids' top-shapes at fast and slow spins seen from (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu

Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Ryota Nakano, Eri Tatsumi +14

Proximity observations by OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa2 provided clues on the shape evolution processes of the target asteroids, (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu. Their oblate shapes w…

Tidal distortion and disruption of rubble-pile bodies revisited -- Soft-sphere discrete element analyses

Yun Zhang, Patrick Michel

During close approaches to planets or stars, the morphological and dynamical properties of rubble-pile small bodies can be modified, and some may catastrophically break up. This ph…

Collisional heating and compaction of small bodies: Constraints for their origin and evolution

Martin Jutzi, Patrick Michel

The current properties of small bodies provide important clues to their origin and history. However, how much small bodies were processed by past collisions and to what extent they…

Debiased albedo distribution for Near Earth Objects

Alessandro Morbidelli, Marco Delbo, Mikael Granvik +5

We extend the most recent orbital and absolute magnitude Near Earth Object (NEO) model (Granvik et al., 2018) to provide a statistical description of NEO geometric albedos. Our mod…
