متن کاملNumerical predictions of surface effects during the 2029 close approach of Asteroid 99942 Apophis
Asteroid (99942) Apophis' close approach in 2029 will be one of the most significant small-body encounter events in the near future and offers a good opportunity for in situ exploration to determine the asteroid's surface properties and measure any tidal effects that might alter its regolith configuration. Resurfacing mechanics has become a new focus for asteroid researchers due to its importan...
متن کاملAsteroid (99942) Apophis: new predictions of Earth encounters for this potentially hazardous asteroid
Context. The potentially hazardous asteroid (99942) Apophis, previously designated 2004 MN4, is emblematic of the study of asteroids that could impact the Earth in the near future. Orbit monitoring and error propagation analysis are mandatory to predict the probability of an impact and, furthermore, its possible mitigation. Several aspects for this prediction have to be investigated, in particu...
متن کاملRejuvenating Asteroids during Planetary Flybys: Applications to (99942) Apophis and Other Near-earth Asteroids
Introduction: Laboratory measurements of meteorite reflectance spectra rarely match telescopic observations of asteroid reflectance spectra due to the process (es) of space weathering, which rapidly darken and redden asteroid surface on million-year timescales [e.g. 1-2]. While most main belt asteroids appear weathered, a fraction of near-Earth asteroids (the Q-types) appear unweathered – possi...
متن کاملIdentifying Near-term Missions and Impact Keyholes for Asteroid 99942 Apophis
We consider the challenges posed by dangerous asteroids that make a sequence of close encounters, such as asteroid 99942 Apophis which passes very close to Earth in 2029 and is considered a possible impacter at many subsequent encounters. In particular, we evaluate the energy costs for possible pre-2029 missions, and we also study refined methods to compute probability of collision. We find two...
