Asteroid secular dynamics: Ceres' fingerprint identified [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 Here we report on the significant role of a so far overlooked dynamical aspect, namely a secular resonance between the dwarf planet Ceres and other asteroids.

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 ...

Dynamics of rotationally fissioned asteroids: Source of observed small asteroid systems [PDF]
Icarus, 2011 We present a model of near-Earth asteroid (NEA) rotational fission and ensuing dynamics that describes the creation of synchronous binaries and all other observed NEA systems including: doubly synchronous binaries, high- e binaries, ternary systems, and contact binaries. Our model only presupposes the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect,

The dynamics of asteroid rotation, governed by YORP effect: the kinematic ansatz
Acta Astronautica, 2018 The main motivation of this research is the analytical exploration of the dynamics of asteroid rotation when it moves in elliptic orbit through Space.

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.

Machine learning applied to asteroid dynamics
Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2022 Machine Learning (ML) is the branch of computer science that studies computer algorithms that can learn from data. It is mainly divided into supervised learning, where the computer is presented with examples of entries, and the goal is to learn a general rule that maps inputs to outputs, and unsupervised learning, where no label is provided to the ...

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

Spacecraft swarm dynamics and control about asteroids [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 2021 This paper presents a novel methodology to control spacecraft swarms about singleasteroids with arbitrary gravitational potential coefficients. This approach enablesthe use of small, autonomous swarm spacecraft in conjunction with a mothership,reducing the need for the Deep Space Network and increasing safety in future as-teroid missions.

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 ...
