INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF ASTEROIDS HAVING SURFACE SHEDDING DUE TO ROTATIONAL INSTABILITY [PDF]
, 2015 Surface shedding of an asteroid is a failure mode where surface materials fly off due to strong centrifugal forces beyond the critical spin period, while the internal structure does not deform significantly. This paper proposes a possible structure of an

Period-Multiplying Bifurcations in the Gravitational Field of Asteroids
AerospacePeriodic orbit families around asteroids serve as potential trajectories for space probes, mining facilities, and deep space stations. Bifurcations of these families provide additional candidate orbits for efficient trajectory design around asteroids ...

Research of resonant motion of Apollo asteroids with inner planets
Vestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2007 We study the resonant motion of Apollo asteroids with inner planets (Venus, Earth, Mars). It is shown that 1760 among 2026 Apollo asteroids move in resonance with one, two or three inner planets.

A Spectroscopic Comparison of HED Meteorites and V-type Asteroids in the Inner Main Belt [PDF]
, 2010 V-type asteroids in the inner Main Belt (a < 2.5 AU) and the HED meteorites are thought to be genetically related to one another as collisional fragments from the surface of the large basaltic asteroid 4 Vesta.

Escape of asteroids from the main belt
, 2017 Aims. We locate escape routes from the main asteroid belt, particularly into the near-Earth-object (NEO) region, and estimate the relative fluxes for different escape routes as a function of object size under the influence of the Yarkovsky semimajor-axis

Periodic motion near the surface of asteroids [PDF]
, 2015 We are interested in the periodic motion and bifurcations near the surface of an asteroid. The gravity field of an irregular asteroid and the equation of motion of a particle near the surface of an asteroid are studied.

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.
