Titan-Hyperion Resonance and the Tidal Q of Saturn
Matija Ćuk, Luke Dones, David Nesvorný
Lainey et al. (2012), by re-analyzing long-baseline astrometry of Saturn's moons, have found that the moons' tidal evolution is much faster than previously thought, implying an ord…
Olivine-dominated asteroids: Mineralogy and origin
Juan A. Sanchez, Vishnu Reddy, Michael S. Kelley +8
Olivine-dominated asteroids are a rare type of objects formed either in nebular processes or through magmatic differentiation. The analysis of meteorite samples suggest that at lea…
On the Dynamics and Origin of Haumea's Moons
Matija Ćuk, Darin Ragozzine, David Nesvorný
The dwarf planet Haumea has two large satellites, Namaka and Hi'iaka, which orbit at relatively large separations. Both moons have significant eccentricities and inclinations, in a…
A multi-domain approach to asteroid families identification
V. Carruba, R. C. Domingos, D. Nesvorný +3
Previous works have identified families halos by an analysis in proper elements domains, or by using Sloan Digital Sky Survey-Moving Object Catalog data, fourth release (SDSS-MOC4)…
Early Dynamical Instabilities in the Giant Planet Systems
Elena Lega, Alessandro Morbidelli, David Nesvorný
The observed wide eccentricity distribution of extrasolar giant planets is thought to be the result of dynamical instabilities and gravitational scattering among planets. Previousl…
Constraining the cometary flux through the asteroid belt during the late heavy bombardment
M. Brož, A. Morbidelli, W. F. Bottke +3
In the Nice model, the late heavy bombardment (LHB) is related to an orbital instability of giant planets which causes a fast dynamical dispersion of a transneptunian cometary disk…
