Mathematics, 2023 We have considered here a novel particular model for dynamics of a non-rigid asteroid rotation, assuming the added mass model instead of the concept of Viscoelastic Oblate Rotators to describe the physically reasonable response of a ‘rubble pile ...

Morphology of ejecta features from the impact on asteroid Dimorphos [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsHypervelocity impacts play a significant role in the evolution of asteroids, causing material to be ejected and partially reaccreted. However, the dynamics and evolution of ejected material in a binary asteroid system have never been observed directly ...

A Numerical Research on a New Type of Asteroid Flexible Probe
IEEE Access, 2021 The asteroid landing detection is of great scientific and economic value. The traditional landing rigid probe is prone to rebound and escape due to the asteroid’s weak gravity and rugged terrain.

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft successfully crashed on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system. Following the impact, a large dust cloud was released, and a long-lasting dust tail developed. We

The Perturbed Full Two-body Problem: Application to Post-DART Didymos
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 With the successful impact of the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft in the Didymos–Dimorphos binary asteroid system, we provide an initial analysis of the post-impact perturbed binary asteroid dynamics.

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 469219 Kamo‘oalewa is selected as one of the primary targets of Tianwen-2 mission, which is currently believed to be the most stable quasi-satellite of Earth. Here we derive a weak detection of the Yarkovsky effect for Kamo‘oalewa, giving A _2 = (−1.075 ±

Survey of secular resonances in the asteroid belt [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2022 Using a recently introduced synthetic method to compute the asteroid secular frequencies (Knežević and Milani 2019), in this paper we survey the locations of secular resonances in the 9 dynamically distinct zones of the asteroid belt.

The relationship between the `limiting' Yarkovsky drift speed and asteroid families' Yarkovsky V-shape [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2020 The Yarkovsky effect is an important force to consider in order to understand the long-term dynamics of asteroids. This non-gravitational force affects the orbital elements of objects revolving around a source of heat, especially their semi ...
