An Earth Encounter as the Cause of Chaotic Dynamics in Binary Asteroid (35107) 1991VH
The Planetary Science JournalAmong binary asteroids, (35107) 1991VH stands out as unique given the likely chaotic rotation within its secondary component. The source of this excited dynamical state is unknown. In this work, we demonstrate that a past close encounter with Earth could

Earth's Minimoons: Opportunities for Science and Technology
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018 Twelve years ago the Catalina Sky Survey discovered Earth's first known natural geocentric object other than the Moon, a few-meter diameter asteroid designated 2006 RH120. Despite significant improvements in ground-based telescope and detector technology

Near-Earth Asteroid Satellite Spins Under Spin-Orbit Coupling
, 2015 We develop a fourth-order numerical integrator to simulate the coupled spin and orbital motions of two rigid bodies having arbitrary mass distributions under the influence of their mutual gravitational potential. We simulate the dynamics of components in
