Imbalanced classification applied to asteroid resonant dynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
Introduction: Machine learning (ML) applications for studying asteroid resonant dynamics are a relatively new field of study. Results from several different approaches are currently available for asteroids interacting with the z2, z1, M1:2, and ν6 ...

Dynamics of rotationally fissioned asteroids: Source of observed small asteroid systems [PDF]

open access: yesIcarus, 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,

On the Particular Dynamics of Rubble-Pile Asteroid Rotation Following Projectile Impact on the Surface During Planetary Approach

open access: yesMathematics
The main motivation of this research is the semi-analytical exploration of the dynamics of an asteroid that is attacked while approaching a planet (with an inelastic collision of the projectile normally to the surface of the asteroid occurring just ...

An Efficient Numerical Approach to Modeling the Effects of Particle Shape on Rubble-pile Dynamics

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We present an approach for the inclusion of nonspherical constituents in high-resolution N -body discrete element method (DEM) simulations. We use aggregates composed of bonded spheres to model nonspherical components.

(523599) 2003 RM: The Asteroid that Wanted to be a Comet

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We report a statistically significant detection of nongravitational acceleration on the subkilometer near-Earth asteroid (523599) 2003 RM. Due to its orbit, 2003 RM experiences favorable observing apparitions every 5 yr.

Identification and Dynamical Properties of Asteroid Families [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Asteroids formed in a dynamically quiescent disk but their orbits became gravitationally stirred enough by Jupiter to lead to high-speed collisions. As a result, many dozen large asteroids have been disrupted by impacts over the age of the Solar System, producing groups of fragments known as asteroid families.

Ultrathin, Stretchable, and 3D‐Printable Complementary Nanotubes–Polymer Composites for Multimodal Radiation Shielding in Extreme Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printable dual‐mode radiation shielding material is introduced by combining boron nitride nanotubes and single‐walled carbon nanotubes in a stretchable PDMS matrix. The complementary nanotube network enables simultaneous attenuation of electromagnetic interference and neutron radiation while maintaining lightweight, mechanical resilience, and ...

Performance Constraints of All‐Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells in Low‐Intensity, Low‐Temperature Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
All‐perovskite tandem solar cells are evaluated under low‐intensity and low‐temperature (LILT) conditions relevant to space environments. Distinct loss regimes emerge, where weaker entropic mixing causes halide segragation below ≈240 K going along with a strong current imbalance, while poor electron transport in C60 dominates.

On the Fate of Slow Boulders Ejected after DART Impact on Dimorphos

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
On 2022 September 26 23:14 UT, the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft successfully impacted Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system, demonstrating asteroid orbit deflection for the first time.

Stereophotoclinometry for OSIRIS-REx Spacecraft Navigation

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We summarize a decade of effort by the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission team to build up the unique capabilities, processes, and procedures required to accomplish the ...
