Prepared for AJ Collisionally - born family about 87
Number of objects in the Cybele population, adjacent and exterior to the asteroid main belt, has recently reached more than 1000 with good enough orbits. This allows its more detailed analysis than previously possible. Searching for collisionally-born clusters in this population we find only one statistically robust case: a family of objects about (87) Sylvia. We use a numerical model simulatin...
متن کاملLimits to Ice on Asteroids (24) Themis and (65) Cybele
We present optical spectra of (24) Themis and (65) Cybele, two large mainbelt asteroids on which exposed water ice has recently been reported. No emission lines, expected from resonance fluorescence in gas sublimated from the ice, were detected. Derived limits to the production rates of water are . 400 kg s (5σ), for each object, assuming a cometary H2O/CN ratio. We rule out models in which a l...
متن کاملAsteroid Capture Using a Binary Exchange Mechanism
A new method of capturing an asteroid in an orbit around the Earth is proposed, inspired by the theory that the irregular satellites of Jupiter and Neptune may have at one time been members of a binary asteroid. After a close approach with the planet, the binary asteroid was disrupted, and one member was captured into a permanent orbit. A parametric study was conducted by simulating binary-Eart...
متن کاملMinimum Energy Catastrophic Disruptions
Dramatic alteration of an asteroid’s morphology need not involve high energy impacts between bodies. Simple sunlight shining on an asteroid can, through the YORP effect, cause it to undergo dramatic reconfigurations, fission into a binary asteroid or, in some cases, even undergo a catastrophic disruption with the asteroid losing up to 20% of its initial mass. The YORP effect has recently been d...
متن کاملAsteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment mission
The Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission will be the first space experiment to demonstrate asteroid impact hazard mitigation by using a kinetic impactor to deflect an asteroid. AIDA is an international cooperation entering Phase A study at NASA and ESA, consisting of two mission elements: the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission and the ESA Asteroid Impact Mi...
