TL;DR: 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, which is a function of the asteroid's mass and surface thermal characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the observed pole latitude distribution of all asteroids with known convex shape models with the simulated pole latitude distributions and presented 119 new asteroid shape models derived from combined dense and sparse-in-time photometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Yarkovsky effect for 99942 Apophis
David Vokrouhlický,Davide Farnocchia,D. Čapek,Steven R. Chesley,Petr Pravec,P. Scheirich,Thomas G. Müller +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the recently determined rotation state, shape, size and thermophysical model of Apophis to predict the strength of the Yarkovsky effect in its orbit.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided the circumstances and details of the fireball observation, search and recovery, strewn field, and physical characteristics of the Kosice meteorite that fell in Slovakia on February 28, 2010.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal stresses in small meteoroids
D. Čapek,David Vokrouhlický +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate thermal stresses in small, spherical, and homogeneous meteoroids with elastic rheology and regular rotation, and derive analytical expressions for the components of the thermal stress tensor throughout the body.
