Implications for the collisional strength of Jupiter Trojans from the Eurybates family

Raphael Marschall, David Nesvorný, Rogerio Deienno +3

In this work, we model the collisional evolution of the Jupiter Trojans and determined under which conditions the Eurybates-Queta system survives. We show that the collisional stre…

SPH simulations of high-speed collisions between asteroids and comets

J. Rozehnal, M. Brož, D. Nesvorný +4

We studied impact processes by means of smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations. The method was applied to modeling formation of main-belt families during the cometary bo…

Asteroid Families: properties, recent advances and future opportunities

Bojan Novakovic, David Vokrouhlicky, Federica Spoto +1

Collisions are one of the key processes shaping planetary systems. Asteroid families are outcomes of such collisions still identifiable across our solar system. The families provid…

Exogenous delivery of water to Mercury

Kateryna Frantseva, David Nesvorný, Michael Mueller +3

Radar and spacecraft observations show the permanently shadowed regions around Mercury's North Pole to contain water ice and complex organic material. One possible source of this m…

Thermal processing of Jupiter Family Comets during their chaotic orbital evolution

Anastasios Gkotsinas, Aurélie Guilbert-Lepoutre, Sean N. Raymond +1

Evidence for cometary activity beyond Jupiter and Saturn's orbits -- such as that observed for Centaurs and long period comets -- suggests that the thermal processing of comet nucl…

Dynamical Implantation of Blue Binaries in the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt

David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Wesley C. Fraser

Colors and binarity provide important constraints on the Kuiper belt formation. The cold classical objects at radial distance r=42-47 au from the Sun are predominantly very red (sp…
