Cladistical analysis of the Jovian and Saturnian satellite systems
Timothy. R. Holt, Adrian. J. Brown, David Nesvorný +2
Jupiter and Saturn each have complex systems of satellites and rings. These satellites can be classified into dynamical groups, implying similar formation scenarios. Recently, a la…
Detection of the Yarkovsky effect for C-type asteroids in the Veritas family
Valerio Carruba, David Vokrouhlický, David Nesvorný
The age of a young asteroid family can be determined by tracking the orbits of family members backward in time and showing that they converge at some time in the past. Here we cons…
Planetary Chaos and the (In)stability of Hungaria Asteroids
Matija Ćuk, David Nesvorný
The Hungaria asteroid group is located interior to the main asteroid belt, with semimajor axes between 1.8 and 2 AU, low eccentricities and inclinations of 16-35 degrees. Recently,…
Masses of Kepler-46b, c from Transit Timing Variations
Ximena Saad-Olivera, David Nesvorný, David M. Kipping +1
We use 16 quarters of the \textit{Kepler} mission data to analyze the transit timing variations (TTVs) of the extrasolar planet Kepler-46b (KOI-872). Our dynamical fits confirm tha…
Scattering V-type asteroids during the giant planets instability: A step for Jupiter, a leap for basalt
Pedro Brasil, Fernando Roig, David Nesvorný +1
V-type asteroids are a taxonomic class whose surface is associated to a basaltic composition. The only known source of V-type asteroids in the Main Asteroid Belt is (4) Vesta, that…
