Collision and gravitational reaccumulation:Possible formation mechanism of the asteroid Itokawa
gravitation methods:numerical minor planets asteroids:general minor planets asteroids:individual:Itokawa
2015/12/25
Aims: We investigate the possibility that the observed sea-otter shape of the asteroid Itokawa, associated with the presence of big boulders on its surface, originates from the reaccumulation process ...
Spin-up of rubble-pile asteroids:Disruption,satellite formation,and equilibrium shapes
Asteroid, Dynamics Rotational dynamics Satellites,Dynamics
2015/12/25
We present results from numerical experiments testing the behavior of cohesionless gravitational aggregates experiencing a gradual increase of angular momentum. The test bodies used in these numerical...

2015/12/25
Collisions are a fundamental process in the creation of asteroid families and in satellite formation. For this reason, understanding the outcome of impacts is fundamental to the accurate modeling of t...
Collisional evolution and reddening of asteroid surfaces–I. The problem of conflicting time-scales and the role of size-dependent effects

2015/12/25
Space weathering is the generic term used for processes that modify the optical properties of surfaces of atmosphereless rocky bodies under exposure to the space environment. The general agreement abo...

2015/12/25
We present a numerical method that incorporates particle sticking in simulations using the N-body code pkdgrav to study motions in a local rotating frame, such as a patch of a planetary ring. Particle...
Rotational fission of trans-Neptunian objects:the case of Haumea
Kuiper belt general – Kuiper belt objects individual Haumea – minor planets, asteroids general
2015/12/25
We present several lines of evidence, based on different kinds of observations, and we conclude that it is likely that rotational fission has occurred for a fraction of the known trans-Neptunian objec...

We present a new particle-based (discrete element) numerical method for the simulation of granular dynamics, with application to motions of particles on small solar system body and planetary surfaces....
Asteroids are leftover pieces from the era of planet formation that help us understand conditions in the early Solar System. Unlike larger planetary bodies that were subject to global thermalmodificat...

Asteroids Asteroids, Composition Collisional physics Impact processes
2015/12/25
The Veritas family is located in the outer main belt and is named after its apparent largest constituent, Asteroid (490) Veritas. The family age has been estimated by two independent studies to be qui...
Asteroids:equilibrium shapes of rotating gravitational aggregates
Asteroids shapes–Numerical simulations–Solar System evolution
2015/12/25
Many evidences lead us to think that a significant portion of asteroids are aggregates of boulders kept together by gravity, with little or no contribution from cohesive forces. The standard hydrodyna...
