In search of the source of asteroid (101955) Bennu: Applications of the stochastic YORP model

TLDR
In this paper, the authors used a suite of numerical simulations to determine the ages of the families above, how Bennu reached its current orbit, and the most probable source family for Bennu.

Compositional Diversity Among Primitive Asteroids

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral properties of primitive near-Earth asteroids are reviewed and their properties are inferred based on spectral properties from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared (IR).
Journal ArticleDOI

Ages of asteroid families estimated using the YORP-eye method

TL;DR: In this paper, the YORP-eye was used to estimate the age of the members of asteroid dynamical families in a plot of the proper semimajor axis versus magnitude (the so-called V-plot).

The Winchcombe meteorite, a unique and pristine witness from the outer solar system

A. King, +123 more
- 01 Nov 2022 - 
TL;DR: The Winchcombe meteorite is the most accurately recorded carbonaceous chondrite fall as discussed by the authors , and its pre-atmospheric orbit and cosmic-ray exposure age confirm that it arrived on Earth shortly after ejection from a primitive asteroid.

Size-dependent modification of asteroid family Yarkovsky V-shapes

TL;DR: In this article, the Yarkovsky force is directly proportional to the thermal inertia of the surface of the asteroids and the curvature of the V-shape boundary of the main-belt asteroids.

Rapid planetesimal formation in turbulent circumstellar disks

TL;DR: It is reported that boulders can undergo efficient gravitational collapse in locally overdense regions in the midplane of the disk, and it is found that gravitationally bound clusters form with masses comparable to dwarf planets and containing a distribution of boulder sizes.

A low mass for Mars from Jupiter's early gas―driven migration

TL;DR: Simulation of the early Solar System shows how the inward migration of Jupiter to 1.5 au, and its subsequent outward migration, lead to a planetesimal disk truncated at 1’au; the terrestrial planets then form from this disk over the next 30–50 million years, with an Earth/Mars mass ratio consistent with observations.

The Long-Term Dynamical Behavior of Short-Period Comets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and tested a new computer code to follow the long-term dynamical evolution of a swarm of test particles in the solar system and found that the Tisserand parameter, T, does not vary substantially for most comets.

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.

The long-term dynamical behavior of short-period comets

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the anomalous concentration of the argument of perihelion of the Jupiter-family comets near 0 and 180 deg is a direct result of their aphelion distance being close to 5.2AU and the comet being recently perturbed onto a Jupiter- family orbit.
