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

IEEE 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]
arXivSurface 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 ...
