Detection of Rotational Acceleration of Bennu Using HST Light Curve Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
We observed the near‐Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu from the ground in 1999 and 2005, and with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in 2012, to constrain its rotation rate.

Dimorphos’s Orbit Period Change and Attitude Perturbation due to Its Reshaping after the DART Impact

The Planetary Science Journal
On 2022 September 26 (UTC), NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission achieved a successful impact on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the near-Earth binary asteroid system (65803) Didymos. Subsequent ground-based observations suggest a

Collisional and Rotational Disruption of Asteroids [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
Asteroids are leftover pieces from the era of planet formation that help us understand conditions in the early Solar System. Unlike larger planetary bodies that were subject to global thermal modification during and subsequent to their formation, these small bodies have kept at least some unmodified primordial material from the solar nebula.

Direct N-body Simulations of Satellite Formation around Small Asteroids: Insights from DART’s Encounter with the Didymos System

The Planetary Science Journal
We explore binary asteroid formation by spin-up and rotational disruption considering the NASA DART mission's encounter with the Didymos–Dimorphos binary, which was the first small binary visited by a spacecraft.

Retrieval of Interior Structure of Asteroids with the Low-Frequency Telescope DART

Space: Science & Technology
Understanding the internal structure of asteroids is crucial for deciphering their formation and establishing defenses against potential hazards. The Daocheng Radio Telescope (DART), a recently constructed interferometric array designed for low-frequency
