Yarkovsky Effect on Small Near-Earth Asteroids: Mathematical Formulation and Examples

TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the possibility of detecting the Yarkovsky effect via precise orbit determination of near-Earth asteroids, which is feasible only with the existence of precise radar astrometry at multiple apparitions.

THE YARKOVSKY AND YORP EFFECTS: Implications for Asteroid Dynamics

TL;DR: The Yarkovsky and YORP effects are thermal radiation forces and torques that cause small objects to undergo semimajor axis drift and spin vector modifications, respectively, as a function of their spin, orbit, and material properties as discussed by the authors.

Gaia Data Release 2. Observations of solar system objects

Federica Spoto, +501 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the processing of the Gaia DR2 data, and describe the criteria used to select the sample published in Gaia DR 2, and explore the data set to assess its quality.

The Effect of Yarkovsky Thermal Forces on the Dynamical Evolution of Asteroids and Meteoroids

TL;DR: The Yarkovsky effect is a thermal radiation force that causes objects to undergo semimajor axis drift and spinup/spindown as a function of their spin, orbit, and material properties as mentioned in this paper.

Direct detection of the Yarkovsky effect by radar ranging to asteroid 6489 Golevka.

TL;DR: Radar ranging from Arecibo, Puerto Rico, to the 0.5-kilometer near-Earth asteroid 6489 Golevka unambiguously reveals a small nongravitational acceleration caused by the anisotropic thermal emission of absorbed sunlight, which is a function of the asteroid's mass and surface thermal characteristics.

A Thermal Model for Near-Earth Asteroids

Alan W. Harris
- 01 Feb 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple simple thermal model for estimating albedos and diameters of near-Earth asteroids was proposed as a default simple model for estimation albedo and diameter.

Meteorite Delivery via Yarkovsky Orbital Drift

TL;DR: In this article, a unified discussion of the Yarkovsky effect in both the original, "diurnal" variant and also for the "seasonal" variant has been provided for meteorite-sized, regolith-free asteroid fragments.

Physical properties of ordinary chondrites

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the properties of 11 ordinary chondrites, one carbonaceous chondrite, and two achondritic clasts of a mesosiderite.

Semimajor axis mobility of asteroidal fragments

TL;DR: The Yarkovsky semimajor axis mobility may spread in an observable way the tight semimald axis clustering of small asteroids produced as a consequence of disruptive collisions.
