Dynamics of the binary asteroid (379) Huenna
, 2022 International audienceWe aim at studying the dynamical system of the asteroid (379) Huenna and its satellite, for which a discrepancy between its predicted and observed position was reported by DeMeo et al. (2011, Icarus, 212).

Widespread Impact‐Induced Crustal Permeability on the Early Earth
AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract The early Earth (i.e., Archean and Hadean Eons, 2.5–4.0 and 4.0–4.5 Ga, respectively) experienced frequent cosmic bombardment. Impacts have been shown to stimulate crustal alteration, for instance via hydrothermal systems active for up to millions of years post‐impact.

Influence of Solar Sails on Magnetic Field Measurements in Space Plasmas
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Solar sail technology is ready to be deployed in a satellite mission carrying a science‐grade magnetometer. In preparation for such a mission, it is essential to characterize the interactions between the sail and the ambient plasma that could affect the magnetometer readings.

Lunar Crustal Formation by Melt Migration and Differentiation Within a Stagnant Lid
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract The lunar anorthosite highlands represent the Moon's primary crust, which formed during the solidification of a magma ocean following the Moon‐forming giant impact. However, the canonical model of anorthite flotation in the crystallizing magma ocean often struggles to reproduce the long > ${ >} $200 Myr solidification timescale required by the

Fully Coherent Model of Dynamics around Binary Asteroids: Application to Didymos and the DART Impact
The Planetary Science JournalThe dynamical environment around binary asteroids has been studied in depth, but these models typically make assumptions about the eccentricity, shapes, or rotational stability of the asteroids.

Near-Earth asteroid binaries in close encounters with the Earth
, 2014 The asteroids that may cross, or approach, the orbit of the terrestrial planets compose the NEAs population. In the present work we studied the effects of close encounters between hypothetical NEAs' binaries and the Earth to determine the limiting ...
