Exploring tidal dissipation in rubble pile binary secondaries using a discrete element model

ER Burnett, I Fodde, F Ferrari - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.09266, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this work, models of rubble pile binary secondaries are simulated in different spin states in
a system similar in size and scale to Didymos-Dimorphos. The numerical modeling is …
