Weather Radar Detection and Analysis of Bolides in the Day or Night

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Weather radars have proven to be valuable tools for detection and analysis of meteorite falls, specifically identifying and analyzing falling meteorites which have survived the initial fireball. The NEXRAD system has been in operation since the late 1990s by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Spin states of X-complex asteroids in the inner main belt -- I. Investigating the Athor and Zita collisional families [PDF]

open access: yesA&A 690, A215 (2024)
The aim of our study is to characterise the spin states of the members of the Athor and Zita collisional families and test whether these members have a spin distribution consistent with a common origin from the break up of their respective family parent asteroids.

Infrared Fluxes and Lightcurves of Near-Earth Objects: The Full Spitzer Sample

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The IRAC camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope observed 2175 near-Earth objects (NEOs) during its Warm Mission phase, primarily in three large surveys, and also in a small number of a dedicated projects.

Immersion and Invariance Based Adaptive Backstepping Control for Body-Fixed Hovering Over an Asteroid

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
An adaptive control law is proposed in this paper for body-fixed hovering over an asteroid with an unknown gravity field and an unknown rotation rate. The unknown parameters and irregular shape of an asteroid make the hovering problem challenging.

Dynamic Three-dimensional Simulation of Surface Charging on Rotating Asteroids [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Surface charging phenomenon of asteroids, mainly resulting from solar wind plasma and solar radiation, has been studied extensively. However, the influence of asteroid's rotation on surface charging has yet to be fully understood. Here neural network is established to replace numerical integration, improving the efficiency of dynamic three-dimensional ...

Categorization of Spatial and Temporal Ejecta Outcomes in Binary Systems Based on Variations of the Didymos System

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
With the increasing number of binary asteroid systems being discovered, ejecta studies must expand from solely investigating single-body systems to modeling more complex multiple-body systems. For example, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test provides an

Long-term Spectral Monitoring of Active Asteroid (6478) Gault: Implications for the H Chondrite Parent Body

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Active asteroid (6478) Gault underwent outbursts between late 2018 and early 2019 with tails morphologically similar to the ejecta from Dimorphous following the Double Asteroid Redirection Test impact.
