THE YARKOVSKY AND YORP EFFECTS: Implications for Asteroid Dynamics
TL;DR: The Yarkovsky and YORP effects are thermal radiation forces and torques that cause small objects to undergo semimajor axis drift and spin vector modifications, respectively, as a function of their spin, orbit, and material properties as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiative Spin-up and Spin-down of Small Asteroids
TL;DR: The Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect as mentioned in this paper may spin up or spin down 5-km-radius asteroids on a 108-year timescale.
The Effect of Yarkovsky Thermal Forces on the Dynamical Evolution of Asteroids and Meteoroids
TL;DR: The Yarkovsky effect is a thermal radiation force that causes objects to undergo semimajor axis drift and spinup/spindown as a function of their spin, orbit, and material properties as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postglacial rebound observed by lageos and the effective viscosity of the lower mantle
TL;DR: In this article, the Lageos satellite was observed to accelerate at a rate of (-8.1 + or - 1.8) x 10 to the -8 power arcseconds day/2 due to a source which is not presently modeled in the GEODYN orbit determination computer program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical Evolution of Main Belt Meteoroids: Numerical Simulations Incorporating Planetary Perturbations and Yarkovsky Thermal Forces
TL;DR: In this article, the role played by the Yarkovsky effect in delivering meteoroids from parent bodies in the main belt to chaotic resonance zones where they can be transported to Earth-crossing orbits is considered.
