[PDF][PDF] Asteroid interiors and morphology

DJ Scheeres, D Britt, B Carry, KA Holsapple - Asteroids iv, 2015 - benoit.carry.free.fr
The past decade has seen an astonishing array of advances across a wide spectrum of
important inputs to the problem and mystery of asteroid interiors. These include the …

The tumbling spin state of (99942) Apophis

P Pravec, P Scheirich, J Ďurech, J Pollock, P Kušnirák… - Icarus, 2014 - Elsevier
Our photometric observations of Asteroid (99942) Apophis from December 2012 to April
2013 revealed it to be in a state of non-principal axis rotation (tumbling). We constructed its …

Asteroid pairs: a complex picture

P Pravec, P Fatka, D Vokrouhlický, P Scheirich… - Icarus, 2019 - Elsevier
We studied a sample of 93 asteroid pairs, ie, pairs of genetically related asteroids that are on
highly similar heliocentric orbits. We estimated times elapsed since separation of pair …

The tumbling rotational state of 1I/'Oumuamua

WC Fraser, P Pravec, A Fitzsimmons, P Lacerda… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
The discovery of 1I/2017 U1 (1I/'Oumuamua) has provided the first glimpse of a planetesimal
born in another planetary system. This interloper exhibits a variable colour within a range …

Main belt asteroid collision histories: Cratering, ejecta, erosion, catastrophic dispersions, spins, binaries, tops, and wobblers

KA Holsapple - Planetary and Space Science, 2022 - Elsevier
This is a study of the collisional history of the asteroids in the main asteroid belt. Over the∼
4.5 Byr of the belt existence, every asteroid collided with others a multitude of times …

Asteroid models from multiple data sources

J Ďurech, B Carry, M Delbo, M Kaasalainen… - Asteroids IV, 2015 - books.google.com
In the past decade, hundreds of asteroid shape models have been derived using the
lightcurve inversion method. At the same time, a new framework of three-dimensional shape …

Rotational dynamics of asteroids approaching planets

AV Melnikov - Solar System Research, 2022 - Springer
We consider the effect of an asteroid's approach to a planet on its rotational dynamics by
means of comprehensive numerical experiments. For a number of asteroids experiencing …

V-band photometry of asteroids from ASAS-SN-Finding asteroids with slow spin

J Hanuš, O Pejcha, BJ Shappee, CS Kochanek… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
We present V-band photometry of the 20 000 brightest asteroids using data from the All-Sky
Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) between 2012 and 2018. We were able to …

Evidence for asteroid scattering and distal solar system solids from meteorite paleomagnetism

JFJ Bryson, BP Weiss, EA Lima… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Asteroid-sized bodies are predicted to have been scattered throughout the solar system
following gravitational interactions with the giant planets. This process could have delivered …

Formation of the wide asynchronous binary asteroid population

SA Jacobson, DJ Scheeres… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose and analyze a new mechanism for the formation of the wide asynchronous
binary population. These binary asteroids have wide semimajor axes relative to most near …
