On the dynamics OF NON-RIGID asteroid rotation [PDF]

open access: yesActa Astronautica, 2019
We have presented in this communication a new solving procedure for the dynamics of non-rigid asteroid rotation, considering the final spin state of rotation for a small celestial body (asteroid). The last condition means the ultimate absence of the applied external torques (including short-term effect from torques during collisions, long-term YORP ...

On the shape of rapidly rotating asteroids

Advances in Space Research, 1981
Abstract By means of a statistical analysis of the rotational properties of asteroids, we define a class of large amplitude and short period objects (LASPA). A possible interpretation of their collisional evolution and present physical status, in terms of ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium, is proposed.

Asteroid rotation rates

Icarus, 1984
A trend of increasing mean rotational frequency with increasing diameter is noted in asteroids with diameters greater than 120 km, irrespective of M-, S-, and C-type asteroid subset and family or nonfamily membership. This trend cannot be accounted for by observational selection.

The axial rotation of asteroids

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1970
The observed fact that light changes of the asteroids exhibit no beat periods is interpreted as an indication that they do not wobble in space like spinning tops, but spin about only one axis (possibly — but not necessarily — inclined but little to the plane of their orbits).
