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

Evidence for YORP-induced Spin Deceleration in Asteroid (433) Eros

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Theoretically, the Yarkovsky–O’Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack (YORP) effect induced by thermal reemission from asteroid surfaces can either accelerate or decelerate their rotation.
