Asteroid 2014 OL339: yet another Earth quasi-satellite [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014 Our planet has one permanently bound satellite -the Moon-, a likely large number of mini-moons or transient irregular natural satellites, and three temporary natural retrograde satellites or quasi-satellites. These quasi-moons -(164207) 2004 GU9, (277810) 2006 FV35 and 2013 LX28- are unbound companions to the Earth.

A contact binary satellite of the asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh. [PDF]
NatureAbstract Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques (that is, YORP, short for the Yarkovsky–O’Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack effect) 1 to be a notable factor in their evolution 2

On the Chronostratigraphy of Planetary Satellites and Asteroids
, 2016 This thesis aims to relate the understanding of the meteoritic bombardment in the Earth-Moon system to other dynamical regions of our Solar System. Resulting in a significant improvement in one of the key issues in the field of planetary sciences: the ability to date planetary surfaces from impact craters on bodies from the inner Solar System to the ...

Multisatellite Task Allocation and Orbit Planning for Asteroid Terminal Defence
Aerospace, 2022 Near-Earth asteroids are a great threat to the Earth, especially potential rendezvous and collision asteroids. To protect the Earth from an asteroid collision, it is necessary to investigate the asteroid defence problem.

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
