Significantly high polarization degree of the very low-albedo asteroid (152679) 1998 KU2 [PDF]
, 2017 We present a unique and significant polarimetric result regarding the near-Earth asteroid (152679) 1998 KU 2 , which has a very low geometric albedo. From our observations, we find that the linear polarization degrees of 1998 KU 2 are 44.6 ± 0.5% in the ...

An Earth Encounter as the Cause of Chaotic Dynamics in Binary Asteroid (35107) 1991VH
The Planetary Science JournalAmong binary asteroids, (35107) 1991VH stands out as unique given the likely chaotic rotation within its secondary component. The source of this excited dynamical state is unknown. In this work, we demonstrate that a past close encounter with Earth could

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.

Dimorphos’s Orbit Period Change and Attitude Perturbation due to Its Reshaping after the DART Impact
The Planetary Science JournalOn 2022 September 26 (UTC), NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission achieved a successful impact on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the near-Earth binary asteroid system (65803) Didymos. Subsequent ground-based observations suggest a
