Journal ArticleDOI

Debiased Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distribution of the Near-Earth Objects

TL;DR: In this article, a best-fit model of the near-Earth objects (NEOs) population is presented, which is fit to known NEs discovered or accidentally rediscovered by Spacewatch.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamical Lifetimes of Objects Injected into Asteroid Belt Resonances

TL;DR: The authors showed that the typical dynamical lifetimes of objects that could become near-Earth asteroids or meteorites are only a few million years, with the majority destroyed by being transferred to Jupiter-crossing orbits or being driven into the sun.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hayabusa2 arrives at the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu—A spinning top–shaped rubble pile

Sei-ichiro Watanabe, +99 more
- 19 Mar 2019 - 
TL;DR: The Hayabusa2 spacecraft measured the mass, size, shape, density, and spin rate of asteroid Ryugu, showing that it is a porous rubble pile, and observations of Ryugu's shape, mass, and geomorphology suggest that Ryugu was reshaped by centrifugally induced deformation during a period of rapid rotation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rotational breakup as the origin of small binary asteroids

TL;DR: Walsh et al. as mentioned in this paper used the thermal YORP (Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-i-Paddack) effect to model the formation of asteroids with satellites.
Journal ArticleDOI

The geomorphology, color, and thermal properties of Ryugu: Implications for parent-body processes

Seiji Sugita, +132 more
- 19 Apr 2019 - 
TL;DR: Spectral observations and a principal components analysis suggest that Ryugu originates from the Eulalia or Polana asteroid family in the inner main belt, possibly via more than one generation of parent bodies.
