متن کاملPhotocentre offset in ultraprecise astrometry: Implications for barycentre determination and asteroid modelling
We investigate the magnitude and characteristics of the photocentre offset phenomenon of small solar system bodies, and compare different scenarios for correcting for it. We discuss the corresponding implications and limitations to the inverse problem of model construction based on astrometry with instruments such as GAIA.
متن کاملRadar imaging of binary near-Earth asteroid (66391) 1999 KW4.
High-resolution radar images reveal near-Earth asteroid (66391) 1999 KW4 to be a binary system. The approximately 1.5-kilometer-diameter primary (Alpha) is an unconsolidated gravitational aggregate with a spin period approximately 2.8 hours, bulk density approximately 2 grams per cubic centimeter, porosity approximately 50%, and an oblate shape dominated by an equatorial ridge at the object's p...
متن کاملSpacecraft Dynamics near a Binary Asteroid
We study a simple model for an asteroid pair, namely a planar system consisting of a rigid body and a sphere. This model is interesting because it is one of the simplest that captures the coupling between rotational and translational dynamics. By assuming that the binary is in a relative equilibria of the system, we construct a model for the motion of a spacecraft about this asteroid pair witho...
متن کاملDirect detection of the Yarkovsky effect by radar ranging to asteroid 6489 Golevka.
Radar ranging from Arecibo, Puerto Rico, to the 0.5-kilometer near-Earth asteroid 6489 Golevka unambiguously reveals a small nongravitational acceleration caused by the anisotropic thermal emission of absorbed sunlight. The magnitude of this perturbation, known as the Yarkovsky effect, is a function of the asteroid's mass and surface thermal characteristics. Direct detection of the Yarkovsky ef...
