BYORP and Dissipation in Binary Asteroids: Lessons from DART

Matija Ćuk, Harrison Agrusa, Rachel H. Cueva +10

The Near-Earth binary asteroid Didymos was the target of a planetary defense demonstration mission DART in September 2022. The smaller binary component, Dimorphos, was impacted by…

Dimorphos orbit determination from mutual events photometry

Peter Scheirich, Petr Pravec, Alex J. Meyer +6

The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft successfully impacted the Didymos-Dimorphos binary asteroid system on 2022 September 26 UTC. We provide an update to its…

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…
