Analytical estimates for heliocentric escape of satellite ejecta
Jose Daniel Castro-Cisneros, Renu Malhotra, Aaron J. Rosengren
We present a general analytic framework to assess whether impact ejecta launched from the surface of a satellite can escape the gravitational influence of the planet--satellite sys…

The Sensitivity to initial conditions of the Co-orbital outcomes of Lunar Ejecta
Jose Daniel Castro-Cisneros, Renu Malhotra, Aaron J. Rosengren
Lunar ejecta, produced by meteoroidal impacts, have been proposed for the origin of the near-Earth asteroid (469219) Kamo'oalewa, supported by its unusually Earth-like orbit and L-…
