Yarkovsky/YORP chronology of asteroid families
Asteroid families are the byproducts of catastrophic collisions whose fragments form clusters in proper semimajor axis, eccentricity, and inclination space. Although many families have been observed in the main asteroid belt, only two very young families, Karin and Veritas, have well-determined ages. The ages of other families are needed, however, if we hope to infer information about their eje...
متن کاملTHE YARKOVSKY AND YORP EFFECTS: Implications for Asteroid Dynamics
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 and spin vector modifications, respectively, as a function of their spin, orbit, and material properties. These mechanisms help to (a) deliver asteroids (and meteoroids) with diameter D < 40 km from their source locations in the...
متن کاملObservations of “fresh” and Weathered Surfaces on Asteroid Pairs and Their Implications on the Rotational-fission Mechanism
The rotational-fission of a “rubble-pile” structured asteroid can result in an “asteroid pair” two un-bound asteroids sharing nearly identical heliocentric orbits. Models suggest that this mechanism exposes material from below the progenitor surface that previously had never have been exposed to the weathering conditions of space. Therefore, the surfaces of asteroid pairs offer the opportunity ...
متن کاملThe Double Dividend Hypothesis for Iran Economy: Modeling Carbon Taxes with a CGE Model
The Double dividend hypothesis briefly demonstrates that by replacing different kinds of distortionary taxes with environmental ones, not only the lesser pollutants would be emitted (the first merit), but the more productivity and public welfare would be gained (the second one). Given the urgent need of reducing emissions in Iran, levying taxes on carbon, aimed at reducing carbon dioxide by 12 ...
متن کاملHypothesis and Verification in 3D Model Matching
This paper addresses 3-D hypothesis and mixed 3-D and 2-D verification as a means of obtaining high performance closed loop model-matching. Performance includes the following criteria: low computational expence; low failure rate; and good localisation. Hypotheses are based upon congruencies identified between 3-D scene and model descriptions. Verification is provided by quantitative evaluation ...
