A Contact Binary Satellite of the Asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh

Harold F. Levison, Simone Marchi, Keith S. Noll +3

Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques, YORP, to be a notable factor in their evolution. (152830)…

Physical properties of asteroid Dimorphos as derived from the DART impact

S. D. Raducan, M. Jutzi, A. F. Cheng +39

On September 26, 2022, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission successfully impacted Dimorphos, the natural satellite of the binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didym…

Direct -body simulations of satellite formation around small asteroids: insights from DART's encounter with the Didymos system

Harrison F. Agrusa, Yun Zhang, Derek C. Richardson +18

We explore binary asteroid formation by spin-up and rotational disruption considering the NASA DART mission's encounter with the Didymos-Dimorphos binary, which was the first small…

The Perturbed Full Two-Body Problem: Application to Post-DART Didymos

Alex J. Meyer, Harrison F. Agrusa, Derek C. Richardson +19

With the successful impact of the NASA DART spacecraft in the Didymos-Dimorphos binary asteroid system, we provide an initial analysis of the post-impact perturbed binary asteroid…

Successful Kinetic Impact into an Asteroid for Planetary Defense

R. Terik Daly, Carolyn M. Ernst, Olivier S. Barnouin +98

While no known asteroid poses a threat to Earth for at least the next century, the catalog of near-Earth asteroids is incomplete for objects whose impacts would produce regional de…
