Abstract The Yarkovsky and YORP (Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack) effects are
thermal radiation forces and torques that cause small objects to undergo semimajor axis drift …

The moniker rubble pile is typically applied to all Solar System bodies> 200 m and<∼ 10 km
in diameter; in this size range, there is an abundance of evidence that nearly every object is …

Abstract The Rosetta spacecraft reached Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter
67P/CG) in August 2014 at an heliocentric distance of 3.6 au and was then put in orbit …

This book discusses in detail all the relevant numerical methods for the classical N-body
problem. It demonstrates how to develop clear and elegant algorithms for models of …

Mineral dust aerosols impact Earth's radiation budget through interactions with clouds,
ecosystems, and radiation, which constitutes a substantial uncertainty in understanding past …

Collisions are the core agent of planet formation. In this work, we derive an analytic
description of the dynamical outcome for any collision between gravity-dominated bodies …

Planet formation models suggest the primordial main belt experienced a short but intense
period of collisional evolution shortly after the formation of planetary embryos. This period is …

New data from observations of asteroid mutual perturbation events, observations of asteroid
satellites, and spacecraft encounters have revolutionized our understanding of asteroid bulk …

The target asteroid of the OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission,(101955) Bennu
(formerly 1999 RQ 36), is a half-kilometer near-Earth asteroid with an extraordinarily well …

The exploration of near‐Earth asteroids has revealed dynamic surfaces characterized by
mobile, unconsolidated material that responds to local geophysical gradients, resulting in …
