Influence of Apophis' spin axis variations on a spacecraft during the 2029 close approach with Earth
S. Aljbaae, J. Souchay, V. Carruba +2
Tumbling asteroids belong to a small group of objects, whose angular velocity vector is unaligned with any of its principal axes of inertia. This leads to challenging efforts to mo…
Artificial Neural Network classification of asteroids in the M1:2 mean-motion resonance with Mars
V. Carruba, S. Aljbaae, R. C. Domingos +1
Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been successfully used in the last years to identify patterns in astronomical images. The use of ANN in the field of asteroid dynamics has bee…
First approximation for spacecraft motion relative to (99942) Apophis
S. Aljbaae, D. M. Sanchez, A. F. B. A. Prado +4
We aim at providing a preliminary approach on the dynamics of a spacecraft in orbit about the asteroid (99942) Apophis during its Earth close approach. The physical properties from…
On the age of the Nele asteroid family
V. Carruba, D. Vokrouhlický, D. +2
The Nele group, formerly known as the Iannini family, is one of the youngest asteroid families in the main belt. Previously, it has been noted that the pericenter longitudes $\varp…
Dynamics in the vicinity of (101955) Bennu: Solar radiation pressure effects in equatorial orbits
T. G. G. Chanut, S. Aljbaae, A. F. B. A. Prado +1
Here we study the dynamical effects of the solar radiation pressure (SRP) on a spacecraft that will survey the near-Earth rotating asteroid (101955) Bennu when the projected shadow…
The Rafita asteroid family
S. Aljbaae, V. Carruba, J. R. Masiero +2
The Rafita asteroid family is an S-type group located in the middle main belt, on the right side of the 3J:-1A mean-motion resonance. The proximity of this resonance to the family…
