Chaos over Order: Mapping 3D Rotation of Triaxial Asteroids and Minor Planets
Valeri V. Makarov, Alexey Goldin, Alexei V. Tkachenko +2
Celestial bodies approximated with rigid triaxial ellipsoids in a two-body system can rotate chaotically due to the time-varying gravitational torque from the central mass. At smal…
Spin-orbit resonances of high-eccentricity asteroids: regular, switching, and jumping
Valeri V. Makarov, Alexey Goldin, Dimitri Veras
Few solar system asteroids and comets are found in high eccentricity orbits () but in the primordial planetesimal disks and in exoplanet systems around dying stars such ob…
Gyr-timescale destruction of high-eccentricity asteroids by spin and why 2006 HY51 has been spared
Valeri V. Makarov, Alexey Goldin, Dimitri Veras
Asteroids and other small celestial bodies have markedly prolate shapes, and the perturbative triaxial torques which are applied during pericenter passages in highly eccentric orbi…
