Pre-impact Thermophysical Properties and the Yarkovsky Effect of NASA DART Target (65803) Didymos

The Planetary Science Journal
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted the secondary body of the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos on 2022 September 26 and altered its orbit about the primary body.

Direct N-body Simulations of Satellite Formation around Small Asteroids: Insights from DART’s Encounter with the Didymos System

The Planetary Science Journal
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 binary visited by a spacecraft.

Precise Orbit Determination of Mars-crossing Asteroids

The Astronomical Journal
This study investigates the orbit determination of the Mars-crossing asteroids (MCAs) with a focus on the possibility of detecting their Yarkovsky signals. We analyze the influences of force model uncertainties on MCA orbits, including the uncertainty of

High-speed Boulders and the Debris Field in DART Ejecta

The Planetary Science Journal
On 2022 September 26 the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft collided with Dimorphos, the moon of the near-Earth asteroid 65803 Didymos, in a full-scale demonstration of a kinetic impactor concept.
