...Given an estimated value of AT and the assumed value of d, one can readily derive the time-averaged da/dt using Gauss’ planetary equations (Farnocchia et al. 2013b)....
[...]
...As the Yarkovsky induced orbital drift depends on the osculating orbital elements (Farnocchia et al. 2013b), there are also commensurable variations in the da/dt evolution (see Fig....

...More recently Nugent et al. (2012) and Farnocchia et al. (2013b) have estimated the Yarkovsky effect for a few tens of near-Earth asteroids by using a formulation that depends on a single parameter to be determined from the orbital fit....
[...]
...The orbital predictions and the impact hazard assessment are then performed by a Monte Carlo simulation that accounts for both the Yarkovsky effect distribution and the orbital uncertainty (Farnocchia et al. 2013a; Farnocchia and Chesley 2014)....

...Importantly, it requires no information about the physical characteristics or spin state of the asteroid, and so it can be implemented readily in cases where only astrometric information is available (e.g., Vokrouhlický et al. 2008; Chesley et al. 2008; Nugent et al. 2012; Farnocchia et al. 2013b)....

...For asteroid 1950 DA Busch et al. (2007) report a density around 3000 km/m3 and two possible solutions for pole orientation and effective diameter: 1. γ = 24.47◦ and D = 1.16 km; 2. γ = 167.72◦ and D = 1.30 km....
