The spin state of asteroid Apophis and a prediction of its change during the 2029 close encounter with Earth
J. Durech, D. Vokrouhlicky, P. Pravec +23
On April 13, 2029, the asteroid Apophis will pass near Earth at a geocentric distance of about 38,000 km. Numerical models have suggested that the post-encounter spin state will cr…
Astrometric follow-up of near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 during a Torino scale level 3 alert
Marco Micheli, Maxime Devogèle, Larry Denneau +38
The discovery of 2024 YR4 presented the planetary defense community with the most significant impact threat in almost two decades, reaching level 3 on the Torino scale. The communi…
Shape and spin state model of contact binary (388188) 2006 DP14 using combined radar and optical observations
Richard E. Cannon, Agata Rozek, Marina Brozović +36
Contact binaries are found throughout the solar system. The recent discovery of Selam, the satellite of MBA (152830) Dinkinesh, by the NASA LUCY mission has made it clear that the…
Secular change in the spin states of asteroids due to radiation and gravitation torques. New detections and updates of the YORP effect
J. Ďurech, D. Vokrouhlický, P. Pravec +21
The rotation state of small asteroids is affected in the long term by perturbing torques of gravitational and radiative origin (the YORP effect). Direct observational evidence of t…
