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.

Cohesive forces prevent the rotational breakup of rubble-pile asteroid (29075) 1950 DA

TL;DR: It is reported that the kilometre-sized asteroid (29075) 1950 DA is a rubble pile that is rotating faster than is allowed by gravity and friction and that the strengths of the forces are comparable to, though somewhat less than, the forces found between the grains of lunar regolith.

Near Earth Asteroids with measurable Yarkovsky effect

TL;DR: In this article, the Yarkovsky effect among near Earth asteroids (NEAs) was investigated by measuring the YARKovsky-related orbital drift from the orbital fit using a high precision dynamical model, including the Newtonian attraction of 16 massive asteroids and the planetary relativistic terms.

Near-Earth asteroid surface roughness depends on compositional class

TL;DR: In this article, a very strong correlation of circular polarization ratio with visible-infrared taxonomic class, establishing distinct differences in the centimeter-to-several-decimeter structural complexity of objects in different spectral classes.

Stress and Failure Analysis of Rapidly Rotating Asteroid (29075) 1950 DA

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element model was developed to identify the deformation process of 1950 DA when its constant cohesion reaches the lowest value that keeps its current shape, and it was shown that to avoid structural failure the internal core requires a cohesive strength of at least 75-85 Pa.

Radiative Spin-up and Spin-down of Small Asteroids

TL;DR: The Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect as mentioned in this paper may spin up or spin down 5-km-radius asteroids on a 108-year timescale.

Optimization Methods for Asteroid Lightcurve Inversion. II. The Complete Inverse Problem

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple empirical scattering law is proposed to estimate the rotation period, pole direction, and scattering parameters of an asteroid from its lightcurves simultaneously with the shape.

Stony meteorite porosities and densities: A review of the data through 2001

TL;DR: In this paper, the porosity and density of stony meteorites were analyzed using a variety of techniques, and the average porosity for most meteorite classes were around 10%, though individual samples can range as high as 30% porosity.

Radar Observations of Asteroid 216 Kleopatra

TL;DR: Radar observations of the main-belt, M-class asteroid 216 Kleopatra reveal a dumbbell-shaped object with overall dimensions with a regolith having a metallic composition and a porosity comparable to that of lunar soil.
