An Earth Encounter as the Cause of Chaotic Dynamics in Binary Asteroid (35107) 1991VH
The Planetary Science JournalAmong binary asteroids, (35107) 1991VH stands out as unique given the likely chaotic rotation within its secondary component. The source of this excited dynamical state is unknown. In this work, we demonstrate that a past close encounter with Earth could

Radiation Forces and Trajectory of Hayabusa2♯ Target 1998 KY26
The Astrophysical Journal LettersSmall near-Earth asteroid 1998 KY _26 has recently become an object of interest because it is the target of the Hayabusa2 ♯ mission and because challenges in fitting its astrometric data have led to classifying it as a dark comet.

Secular dynamics around uniformly rotating asteroids
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 The dynamical behaviours of spacecrafts moving around uniformly rotating asteroids are investigated in this work. Based on the generalized inertia integrals of asteroids, the expression of the disturbing potential is derived as a trigonometric series in terms of the mean anomaly, geographical longitude of ascending node and argument of pericentre.
