Asteroid flux towards circumprimary habitable zones in binary star systems: I. Statistical Overview
, 2015 So far, multiple stellar systems harbor more than 130 extra solar planets. Dynamical simulations show that the outcome of planetary formation process can lead to various planetary architecture (i.e.

Simulating the (99942) Apophis Earth Flyby Using a Contact Binary Model
The Planetary Science JournalThis paper investigates the mass shifts of asteroid (99942) Apophis during its 2029 close encounter with Earth, using the contact dynamics method, a type of discrete element method. Unlike previous analyses, we model the asteroid as a contact binary body

Resonances in the asteroid and trans-Neptunian belts: a brief review
, 2018 Mean motion resonances play a fundamental role in the dynamics of the small bodies of the Solar System. The last decades of the 20th century gave us a detailed description of the dynamics as well as the process of capture of small bodies in coplanar or ...

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

On the Erigone family and the $z_2$ secular resonance [PDF]
, 2015 The Erigone family is a C-type group in the inner main belt. Its age has been estimated by several researchers to be less then 300 My, so it is a relatively young cluster.

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The short essay makes a case that a post biological world will be a devolution. Sentience is a relational process linked with the awe and wonder we experience in relation to one another and our shared habitat. The voiceless need to be protected by extending solidarity on the basis of sentience—a normative plea, but also on the basis of ...

BYORP and Dissipation in Binary Asteroids: Lessons from DART
The Planetary Science JournalThe near-Earth binary asteroid Didymos was the target of the planetary defense demonstration mission DART in 2022 September. The smaller binary component, Dimorphos, was impacted by the spacecraft in order to measure momentum transfer in kinetic impacts ...

System Modeling and Simulation of TianWen-2 Sampling on an Asteroid Regolith Surface
Space: Science & TechnologyAs China’s first asteroid exploration mission, the TianWen-2 spacecraft mainly focuses on surface sampling on the near-Earth asteroid 2016 HO3. Different from the usual sampling strategy of releasing a small lander or ejecting a projectile, the whole ...

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.
