Abstract
The influence of the solar radiation pressure and the Yarkovsky effect on the long-term orbital dynamics is estimated for a number of asteroids experiencing successive planetary encounters. The variation in the asteroid’s proper rotation period due to its approach to the planet and its effect on the asteroid’s further orbital dynamics through the Yarkovsky effect is considered. It is shown that close planetary encounters of small asteroids (tens of meters in diameter) with short rotation period (less than 10 h), which change the asteroid’s rotation period by several hours, significantly affect the magnitude of the Yarkovsky effect.
期刊介绍:
Solar System Research publishes articles concerning the bodies of the Solar System, i.e., planets and their satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoric substances, and cosmic dust. The articles consider physics, dynamics and composition of these bodies, and techniques of their exploration. The journal addresses the problems of comparative planetology, physics of the planetary atmospheres and interiors, cosmochemistry, as well as planetary plasma environment and heliosphere, specifically those related to solar-planetary interactions. Attention is paid to studies of exoplanets and complex problems of the origin and evolution of planetary systems including the solar system, based on the results of astronomical observations, laboratory studies of meteorites, relevant theoretical approaches and mathematical modeling. Alongside with the original results of experimental and theoretical studies, the journal publishes scientific reviews in the field of planetary exploration, and notes on observational results.
