Orbits of very distant asteroid satellites
K. Minker, B. Carry, F. Vachier +36
The very wide binary asteroid (VWBA) population is a small subset of the population of known binary and multiple asteroids made of systems with very widely orbiting satellites and…
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…
New Horizons Observations of the Cosmic Optical Background
Tod R. Lauer, Marc Postman, Harold A. Weaver +26
We used existing data from the New Horizons LORRI camera to measure the optical-band () sky brightness within seven high galactic latitude fields. T…
A new facility for airborne solar astronomy: NASA's WB-57 at the 2017 total solar eclipse
Amir Caspi, Daniel B. Seaton, Constantine C. C. Tsang +28
NASA's WB-57 High Altitude Research Program provides a deployable, mobile, stratospheric platform for scientific research. Airborne platforms are of particular value for making cor…
SPH/N-body simulations of small (D = 10 km) asteroidal breakups and improved parametric relations for Monte-Carlo collisional models
P. Ševeček, M. Brož, D. Nesvorný +4
We report on our study of asteroidal breakups, i.e. fragmentations of targets, subsequent gravitational reaccumulation and formation of small asteroid families. We focused on paren…
Hektor - an exceptional D-type family among Jovian Trojans
Jakub Rozehnal, Miroslav Brož, David Nesvorný +4
In this work, we analyze Jovian Trojans in the space of suitable resonant elements and we identify clusters of possible collisional origin by two independent methods: the hierarchi…
