Radiation Recoil Effects on the Dynamical Evolution of Asteroids
TL;DR: Cotto-Figueroa et al. as mentioned in this paper presented the results of the first simulations that self-consistently model the YORP effect on the spin states of dynamically evolving aggregates.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dynamical study of the Gefion asteroid family
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed study on the Gefion family is presented, motivated by the incompatibility found in previous family age estimations and the fact that this family could be seen as one of the most probable sources of L-chondrite meteorites.

Compositional study of asteroids in the Erigone collisional family using visible spectroscopy at the 10.4 m GTC
David Morate,David Morate,Julia de Leon,Julia de Leon,Mário De Prá,Javier Licandro,Javier Licandro,Antonio Cabrera-Lavers,Humberto Campins,Noemi Pinilla-Alonso,Victor Ali-Lagoa +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, visible spectra (0.5 to 0.9 microns) were obtained for 101 members of the Erigone family, using the OSIRIS instrument at the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-ultraviolet to visible spectroscopy of the Themis and Polana-Eulalia complex families
TL;DR: In this paper , the spectral properties of the near-ultraviolet to visible (NUV-VIS, 0.35 -0.95 µ m) re-ectance spectra of primitive asteroids with a focus on members of the Themis and Polana-Eulalia complex families were investigated.

Rapid planetesimal formation in turbulent circumstellar disks
Anders Johansen,Jeffrey S. Oishi,Jeffrey S. Oishi,Mordecai-Mark Mac Low,Mordecai-Mark Mac Low,Hubert Klahr,Thomas Henning,Andrew N. Youdin +7 more
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
Kevin J. Walsh,Alessandro Morbidelli,Sean N. Raymond,Sean N. Raymond,David P. O'Brien,Avi Mandell +5 more
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
William F. Bottke,Alessandro Morbidelli,Robert Jedicke,Jean-Marc Petit,Harold F. Levison,Patrick Michel,Travis S. Metcalfe +6 more
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.
