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.

The splitting of double-component active asteroid P/2016 J1 (PANSTARRS) [PDF]
, 2017 We present deep imaging observations, orbital dynamics, and dust tail model analyses of the double-component asteroid P/2016 J1 (J1-A and J1-B). The observations were acquired at the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope ...

(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.

Secular evolution of asteroid families: the role of Ceres
, 2015 We consider the role of the dwarf planet Ceres on the secular dynamics of the asteroid main belt. Specifically, we examine the post impact evolution of asteroid families due to the interaction of their members with the linear nodal secular resonance with

Dynamics, Origin, and Activation of Main Belt Comets [PDF]
, 2009 The discovery of Main Belt Comets (MBCs) has raised many questions regarding the origin and activation mechanism of these objects. Results of a study of the dynamics of these bodies suggest that MBCs were formed in-situ as the remnants of the break-up of

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.

Stereophotoclinometry for OSIRIS-REx Spacecraft Navigation
The 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 ...
