Non-principal axis rotation in binary asteroid systems and how it weakens the BYORP effect

Alice C. Quillen et al.

Summary: In this study, we used viscoelastic mass/spring model simulations to investigate the tidal evolution and migration of compact binary asteroid systems. Our results showed that the non-principal axis rotation in the secondary can be long-lived after it is captured into a spin-synchronous state. Furthermore, the inward orbital semi-major axis migration can resonantly excite non-principal axis rotation.

Influence of the projectile geometry on the momentum transfer from a kinetic impactor and implications for the DART mission

S. D. Raducan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of different simple projectile geometries on the outcome of the DART impact. The results show that these geometries have minimal effects on the crater morphology and momentum enhancement, but have more noticeable effects on the ejection velocity.

Investigating the effects of density and spin period on surface slopes of asteroids

Hannah C. M. Susorney et al.

Summary: The internal density of C-type rubble-pile asteroids Bennu and Ryugu was found to be lower than that of the previously explored S-type rubble pile Itokawa, which suggests that low-density asteroids may have more evidence of downslope motion. Additionally, irregularly shaped asteroids appear to be more sensitive to changes in spin period.

Propagation and attenuation of pulses driven by low velocity normal impacts in granular media

A. C. Quillen et al.

Summary: In this study, we conducted low velocity normal impacts on granular materials and found that the longitudinal pulses excited by impact attenuate and spread as they travel away from the impact site. Using a model, we estimated the relationship between pulse properties and travel distance from the impact site, and observed a decay in peak pressure, velocity, and seismic energy as distance increases. Our experimental results support a seismic jolt model and we applied our model to estimate the physical properties of the seismic pulse generated by the upcoming mission impact on the asteroid Dimorphos.

Predictions for the Dynamical States of the Didymos System before and after the Planned DART Impact

Derek C. Richardson et al.

Summary: NASA's DART spacecraft is planned to impact the natural satellite of Didymos to test kinetic impactor technology and measure momentum transfer enhancement factor beta. Earth-based observations, LICIACube spacecraft, and ESA's Hera mission will provide additional observations and characterizations. After the impact, the dynamical state of the system will change, including a reduction in orbital period, an orbital tilt, enhanced libration of Dimorphos, and possible moon rotation.

Model of Double Asteroid Redirection Test Impact Ejecta Plume Observations

Andrew F. Cheng et al.

Summary: The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will impact the moon Dimorphos of the Didymos binary in order to demonstrate asteroid deflection by a kinetic impactor. DART will measure the deflection by using ground-based telescopic observations of the orbital period change of Didymos and will carry the LICIACube cubesat, which will perform a flyby of Didymos and obtain images of the DART impact ejecta plume. This study develops a model for the optical depth of the impact ejecta plume and applies it to LICIACube plume images to determine the mass versus velocity distribution, effectively improving the determination of DART impact momentum transfer.

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART): Mutual Orbital Period Change Due to Reshaping in the Near-Earth Binary Asteroid System (65803) Didymos

Ryota Nakano et al.

Summary: The Double Asteroid Redirection Test is the first mission to demonstrate the kinetic deflection technique for planetary defense. By colliding with the asteroid Dimorphos, the spacecraft will cause changes in its orbital period and shape. The orbital period change caused by reshaping can be constrained by observing changes in spin period, and further investigation will be conducted by the ESA's Hera mission.

The ESA Hera Mission: Detailed Characterization of the DART Impact Outcome and of the Binary Asteroid (65803) Didymos

Patrick Michel et al.

Summary: Hera is a planetary defense mission developed by the European Space Agency, scheduled for launch in October 2024. It will rendezvous with the binary asteroid Didymos and its moon Dimorphos in December 2026. The mission aims to characterize the physical properties of Didymos and Dimorphos, measure the momentum transfer efficiency of the DART impact, and provide insights into asteroid science and the evolutionary history of our solar system.

Dynamical Evolution of the Didymos-Dimorphos Binary Asteroid as Rubble Piles following the DART Impact

Harrison F. Agrusa et al.

Summary: Previous studies modeled the Didymos system as rigid bodies, but this study finds that rubble-pile models produce similar results to rigid-body models under specific conditions. However, if Dimorphos has an irregular shape or a large beta value, the rubble-pile effects may become important.

Global-scale Reshaping and Resurfacing of Asteroids by Small-scale Impacts, with Applications to the DART and Hera Missions

Sabina D. D. Raducan et al.

Summary: This research presents a novel approach to directly simulate the entire cratering process resulting from impacts on small, weak asteroids using shock physics code calculations. The study finds that small-scale impacts can significantly deform weak asteroids and cause global resurfacing. Additionally, even low asteroid cohesions have a drastic influence on the impact outcome. If the target asteroid is homogeneous and weaker than a certain threshold, the impact may not result in a cratering event as originally anticipated, but instead change the global morphology of the asteroid. Future observations by the ESA's Hera mission will provide further insights into the evolution of small asteroid shapes and structures through subcatastrophic impacts.

Summary: The DART mission is a planetary defense-driven test of a kinetic impactor on the satellite Dimorphos of the binary asteroid Didymos. Three independent methods were used to investigate the post-impact attitude stability of Dimorphos, showing that attitude instabilities are possible at resonance locations among specific frequencies.

Summary: The study shows that the elongation of an asteroid affects its surface sensitivity to tidal effects, with more elongated asteroids having higher slope variations, but this may not necessarily result in an increase of the total area with such variations.

Libration-induced Orbit Period Variations Following the DART Impact

Alex J. Meyer et al.

Summary: The DART mission will test a kinetic impactor for planetary defense by colliding with the secondary asteroid Dimorphos in late 2022, causing changes in its orbit period and inducing libration. The coupled dynamics in binary asteroid systems mean that the libration of the secondary also leads to variations in its orbit period, driven by impact perturbations and the secondary's moments of inertia. These orbit period variations present challenges and opportunities for the mission, offering insights into the system's libration state and the impact of DART.

The Onset of Chaos in Permanently Deformed Binaries from Spin-Orbit and Spin-Spin Coupling

Darryl Seligman et al.

Summary: This study investigates the complex rotational evolution of permanently deformed objects in binary systems, analyzing the effects of spin-orbit coupling and spin-spin interactions. By using a simplified model, the resonances and onset of chaos are determined, and the obliquity evolution is explored through an extended geometric theory. The criteria for resonance overlap in the context of chaotic rotational dynamics are applied to a specific binary system, suggesting potential exotic rotational states in small bodies in the Solar System.
