Orbital Stability Zones about Asteroids
We have numerically investigated a three-body problem consisting of the Sun, an asteroid, and an infinitesimal particle initially placed about the asteroid. We assume that the asteroid has the following properties: a circular heliocentric orbit at R -2.55 AU, an asteroid/Sun mass ratio of/~ -5 x 10-12, and a spherical shape with radius R A -100 km; these values are close to those of the minor p...
متن کاملOptimal Searches for Asteroids
Optimal searches for a fixed object are discussed and the rigorous analytical results of discrete search theory are presented. They show that the totally optimal, the uniformly optimal, the locally optimal, and the fastest searches are identical under not too restrictive assumptions. The mathematical formalism is illustrated by an Earth-approaching asteroid search and optimal searches for such ...
متن کاملThe Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distributions of Main Belt Asteroids
We have developed a model-independent analytical method for debiasing the fourdimensional (a, e, i,H) distribution obtained in any asteroid observation program and have applied the technique to results obtained with the 0.9m Spacewatch Telescope. From 1992 to 1995 Spacewatch observed ∼ 3740 deg2 near the ecliptic and made observations of more than 60,000 asteroids to a limiting magnitude of V∼2...
متن کاملOrbital Simulations for Directed Energy Deflection of Near-Earth Asteroids
Directed energy laser ablation at the surface of an asteroid or comet produces an ejection plume that will impart a thrust on the asteroid. This thrust can mitigate a threatened collision with the Earth. This technique uses the asteroid itself as the deflection propellant. The DESTAR laser system is designed to produce a sufficiently intense spot on the surface of an asteroid to accomplish this...
متن کاملPossibility of collision between co-orbital asteroids and the Earth
Considering hypothetical co-orbital asteroids with the Earth, Tatum (1997) presented a study about the necessary radial distance in order to produce collision. He adopted an analysis considering a composition of circular two-body systems, Sun-Earth and Sun-Asteroid. He found that asteroids with radial positions between 0.9943 and 1.0057 AU would necessarily collide with the Earth. In the presen...
