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: The detection of asteroid spin-up supports the YORP effect as an explanation for the anomalous distribution of spin rates for asteroids under 10 kilometers in diameter and as a binary formation mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capture of Trojans by Jumping Jupiter
TL;DR: In this article, a jump capture model was proposed to capture the Trojans during the early dynamical instability among the outer planets (aka the Nice model), when the semimajor axis of Jupiter was changing as a result of scattering encounters with an ice giant, and the capture occurs when Jupiter's orbit and its Lagrange points become radially displaced in a scattering event and fall into a region populated by planetesimals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semimajor axis mobility of asteroidal fragments
TL;DR: The Yarkovsky semimajor axis mobility may spread in an observable way the tight semimald axis clustering of small asteroids produced as a consequence of disruptive collisions.
Capture of trojans by jumping jupiter
TL;DR: In this paper, a jump capture model was proposed to capture the Trojans during the early dynamical instability among the outer planets (aka the Nice model), when the semimajor axis of Jupiter was changing as a result of scattering encounters with an ice giant, and the capture occurs when Jupiter's orbit and its Lagrange points become radially displaced in a scattering event and fall into a region populated by planetesimals.
