Journal ArticleDOI
The Rubble-Pile Asteroid Itokawa as Observed by Hayabusa
Akira Fujiwara,Jun'ichiro Kawaguchi,D. K. Yeomans,Masanao Abe,Tadashi Mukai,Tatsuaki Okada,Jun Saito,Hajime Yano,Makoto Yoshikawa,Daniel J. Scheeres,Olivier S. Barnouin-Jha,A. F. Cheng,Hirohide Demura,R. W. Gaskell,Naru Hirata,H. Ikeda,T. Kominato,Hirdy Miyamoto,Akiko M. Nakamura,Ryosuke Nakamura,Sho Sasaki,K. Uesugi +21 more
TL;DR: During the interval from September through early December 2005, the Hayabusa spacecraft was in close proximity to near-Earth asteroid Itokawa, and a variety of data were taken on its shape, mass, and surface topography as well as its mineralogic and elemental abundances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass and Local Topography Measurements of Itokawa by Hayabusa
Shinsuke Abe,Tadashi Mukai,Naru Hirata,Naru Hirata,Olivier S. Barnouin-Jha,Andrew F. Cheng,Hirohide Demura,R. W. Gaskell,Tatsuaki Hashimoto,K. Hiraoka,T. Honda,Takashi Kubota,Masatoshi Matsuoka,Takahide Mizuno,Ryosuke Nakamura,Daniel J. Scheeres,Makoto Yoshikawa +16 more
TL;DR: Combined with surface observations, these data indicate that Itokawa is the first subkilometer-sized small asteroid showing a rubble-pile body rather than a solid monolithic asteroid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing and navigating small bodies with imaging data
Robert Gaskell,Olivier S. Barnouin-Jha,Daniel J. Scheeres,Alex S. Konopliv,Tadashi Mukai,Shinsuke Abe,Jun Saito,Masateru Ishiguro,Takashi Kubota,Tatsuaki Hashimoto,Jun'ichiro Kawaguchi,Makoto Yoshikawa,Ken'ichi Shirakawa,Takashi Kominato,Naru Hirata,Hirohide Demura +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, an ensemble of landmark maps (L-maps), high-resolution topography/albedo maps of varying resolution that tile the surface of the body, are combined to produce a standard global topography model (GTM) with about 1.57 million vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
An outer planet beyond pluto and the origin of the trans-neptunian belt architecture
TL;DR: In this article, the orbital history of an outer planet with tenths of the Earth's mass can explain the trans-Neptunian belt orbital structure, which can reveal important clues about disk properties, planet formation, and other evolutionary processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical classification of trans-neptunian objects: Probing their origin, evolution, and interrelation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed computer simulations of currently observed objects using long-arc orbits and several thousands of clones, and identified 622 TNOs, and 65 non-resonant objects whose orbits penetrate that of at least one of the giant planets within 1 Myr (the centaurs).
