NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is planned to impact the natural satellite of (65803) Didymos, Dimorphos, around 23:14 UTC on 26 September 2022, causing a…
Tidal Evolution of the Earth-Moon System with a High Initial Obliquity
Matija Ćuk, Simon J. Lock, Sarah T. Stewart +1
A giant impact origin for the Moon is generally accepted, but many aspects of lunar formation remain poorly understood and debated. Ćuk et al. (2016) proposed that an impact that l…
A Statistical Review of Light Curves and the Prevalence of Contact Binaries in the Kuiper Belt
Mark R. Showalter, Susan D. Benecchi, Marc W. Buie +19
We investigate what can be learned about a population of distant KBOs by studying the statistical properties of their light curves. Whereas others have successfully inferred the pr…
Modeling Saturn's D68 clumps as a co-orbital satellite system
Joseph A. A'Hearn, Matthew M. Hedman, Douglas P. Hamilton
The D68 ringlet is the innermost feature in Saturn's rings. Four clumps that appeared in D68 around 2014 remained evenly spaced about 30 degrees apart and moved very slowly relativ…
Spitzer's Solar System studies of asteroids, planets and the zodiacal cloud
David Trilling, Carey Lisse, Dale P. Cruikshank +13
In its 16 years of scientific measurements, the Spitzer Space Telescope performed a number of ground-breaking infrared measurements of Solar System objects. In this second of two p…
The M- relation from the disruption of binaries from the galactic bulge
Erez Michaely, Douglas Hamilton
We present a novel explanation of the well known relation. In a triaxial potential binaries with chaotic orbits within a sphere that encompass times the m…
