Ghosts of Jupiter's past: is 2017 UV43 a relative of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9?
C. de la Fuente Marcos, R. de la Fuente Marcos
The present-day orbit of 2017 UV43 resembles the average one of the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. Here, we present numerical evidence suggesting that 2017 UV43 might be rela…
Transient Co-orbitals of Venus: An Update
C. de la Fuente Marcos, R. de la Fuente Marcos
Venus has no known satellites, but has four known co-orbitals: (322756) 2001 CK32, 2002 VE68, 2012 XE133, and 2013 ND15. Here, we present numerical evidence suggesting that 2015 WZ…
Pole, Pericenter, and Nodes of the Interstellar Minor Body A/2017 U1
C. de la Fuente Marcos, R. de la Fuente Marcos
Here, we explore some peculiar orbital features of the recently discovered asteroid A/2017 U1, which is a clear outlier when considering the average value of the eccentricity of kn…
Dynamically correlated minor bodies in the outer Solar system
C. de la Fuente Marcos, R. de la Fuente Marcos
The organization of the orbits of most minor bodies in the Solar system seems to follow random patterns, the result of billions of years of chaotic dynamical evolution. Much as het…
Asteroid 2017 FZ2 et al.: signs of recent mass-shedding from YORP?
C. de la Fuente Marcos, R. de la Fuente Marcos
The first direct detection of the asteroidal YORP effect, a phenomenon that changes the spin states of small bodies due to thermal reemission of sunlight from their surfaces, was o…
Dynamical evolution of near-Earth asteroid 1991 VG
C. de la Fuente Marcos, R. de la Fuente Marcos
The discovery of 1991 VG on 1991 November 6 attracted an unprecedented amount of attention as it was the first near-Earth object (NEO) ever found on an Earth-like orbit. At that ti…
