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…
Dynamical Evidence for a Late Formation of Saturn's Moons
Matija Ćuk, Luke Dones, David Nesvorný
We explore the past evolution of Saturn's moons using direct numerical integrations. We find that the past Tethys-Dione 3:2 orbital resonance predicted in standard models likely di…
Jumping Jupiter can explain Mercury's orbit
Fernando Roig, David Nesvorný, Sandro Ricardo DeSouza
The orbit of Mercury has large values of eccentricity and inclination that cannot be easily explained if this planet formed on a circular and coplanar orbit. Here, we study the evo…
On the oldest asteroid families in the main belt
V. Carruba, D. Nesvorný, S. Aljbaae +2
Asteroid families are groups of minor bodies produced by high-velocity collisions. After the initial dispersions of the parent bodies fragments, their orbits evolve because of seve…
Footprints of a possible Ceres asteroid paleo-family
V. Carruba, D. Nesvorný, S. Marchi +1
Ceres is the largest and most massive body in the asteroid main belt. Observational data from the Dawn spacecraft reveal the presence of at least two impact craters about 280~km in…
Characterizing the original ejection velocity field of the Koronis family
Valerio Carruba, David Nesvorný, Safwan Aljbaae
An asteroid family forms as a result of a collision between an impactor and a parent body. The fragments with ejection speeds higher than the escape velocity from the parent body c…
Constraints on the original ejection velocity fields of asteroid families
Valerio Carruba, David Nesvorný
Asteroid families form as a result of large-scale collisions among main belt asteroids. The orbital distribution of fragments after a family-forming impact could inform us about th…
