Asteroid models from the Lowell Photometric Database
, 2016 We use the lightcurve inversion method to derive new shape models and spin states of asteroids from the sparse-in-time photometry compiled in the Lowell Photometric Database.

Puzzling rotation of asteroid 288 Glauke [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2003 Most asteroids rotate about their axis of maximum moment of inertia. However, for several small asteroids with very slow rotation rates, the damping time scale is expected to be longer than the age of the Solar System, implying that these objects may exhibit non-principal axis rotation.

Rotation Periods of Asteroids Determined With Bootstrap Convex Inversion From ATLAS Photometry
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The rotation period is one of the fundamental physical characteristics of asteroids. It can be determined from photometric measurements by standard methods of time-series period analysis or by creating a physical model of an asteroid with the rotation ...

Stability and Motion around Equilibrium Points in the Rotating Plane-Symmetric Potential Field
, 2018 This study presents a study of equilibrium points, periodic orbits, stabilities, and manifolds in a rotating plane symmetric potential field. It has been found that the dynamical behaviour near equilibrium points is completely determined by the structure

Determination of 1929 Asteroid Rotation Periods from WISE Data
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We used 22 μ m (W4) Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observations of 4420 asteroids to analyze lightcurves, and determined spin period estimates for 1929 asteroids.

Asteroid Models from Multiple Data Sources
, 2015 In the past decade, hundreds of asteroid shape models have been derived using the lightcurve inversion method. At the same time, a new framework of 3-D shape modeling based on the combined analysis of widely different data sources such as optical ...

Orbital Mechanics near a Rotating Asteroid [PDF]
Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy, 2014 This study investigates the different novel forms of the dynamical equations of a particle orbiting a rotating asteroid and the effective potential, the Jacobi integral, etc. on different manifolds. Nine new forms of the dynamical equations of a particle orbiting a rotating asteroid are presented, and the classical form of the dynamical equations has ...

Scaling forces to asteroid surfaces: The role of cohesion
, 2010 The scaling of physical forces to the extremely low ambient gravitational acceleration regimes found on the surfaces of small asteroids is performed. Resulting from this, it is found that van der Waals cohesive forces between regolith grains on asteroid ...
