Dynamical evolution of the Cybele asteroids [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015
The Cybele region, located between the 2J:-1A and 5J:-3A mean-motion resonances, is adjacent and exterior to the asteroid main belt. An increasing density of three-body resonances makes the region between the Cybele and Hilda populations dynamically unstable, so that the Cybele zone could be considered the last outpost of an extended main belt.

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

Mathematics
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

The 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.

Origin and Dynamical Evolution of the Asteroid Belt

, 2022
The asteroid belt was dynamically shaped during and after planet formation. Despite representing a broad ring of stable orbits, the belt contains less than one one-thousandth of an Earth mass. The asteroid orbits are dynamically excited with a wide range in eccentricity and inclination and their compositions are diverse, with a general trend toward dry

Identification and Dynamical Properties of Asteroid Families [PDF]

, 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.

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

The 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.

Predicting Performance of Hall Effect Ion Source Using Machine Learning

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
This study introduces HallNN, a machine learning tool for predicting Hall effect ion source performance using a neural network ensemble trained on data generated from numerical simulations. HallNN provides faster and more accurate predictions than numerical methods and traditional scaling laws, making it valuable for designing and optimizing Hall ...

Imbalanced classification applied to asteroid resonant dynamics

Frontiers 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 ...

Radar contributions to asteroid astrometry and dynamics [PDF]

CELESTIAL MECHANICS AND DYNAMICAL ASTRONOMY, 1997
Almost every radar observation of asteroids has measured some characteristics of the distribution of echo power in time delay (range) and Doppler frequency (radial velocity). Such measurements, which are orthogonal to optical plane-of-sky angular astrometry, are also done in the well-known, “absolute” reference frame of the planetary ephemerides, often

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.
