We have spent 19.9 h of observing time with channel 2 (4.5 µm) of the Infrared Array Camera and detected the target within the 2σ positional uncertainty ellipse. Using an asteroid thermophysical model and a model of non- gravitational forces acting upon the object we constrain the physical properties of 2011 MD, based on the measured flux density and available astrometry data.

We find 87 reliable detections after filtering for the signal-to-noise ratio of the Yarkovsky drift esti- mate and making sure the estimate is compatible with the physical properties of the analyzed object. Furthermore, we find a list of 24 marginally significant detec- tions, for which future astrometry could result in a Yarkovsky detection. A further outcome of the filtering procedure is a list of detections that we consider spurious because unrealistic or not explicable with the Yarkovsky effect. Among the smallest asteroids of our sample, we determined four detections of solar radiation pressure, in addition to the Yarkovsky effect. As the data volume increases in the near fu- ture, our goal is to develop methods to generate very long lists of asteroids with reliably detected Yarkovsky effect, with limited amounts of case by case specific adjustments.

  • Meteoroid Impacts Onto Asteroids: a Competitor for Yarkovsky and YORP
    Meteoroid impacts onto asteroids: a competitor for Yarkovsky and YORP Paul A. Wiegert Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Western Ontario, London Ontario CANADA Submitted to Icarus July 14 2014 Abstract The impact of a meteoroid onto an asteroid transfers linear and angular mo- mentum to the larger body, which may affect its orbit and its rotational state. Here we show that the meteoroid environment of our Solar System can have an effect on small asteroids that is comparable to the Yarkovsky and Yarkovsky- O’Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effects under certain conditions. The momentum content of the meteoroids themselves is expected to generate an effect much smaller than that of the Yarkovsky effect. However, momentum transport by ejecta may increase the net effective force by two orders of magni- tude for impacts into bare rock surfaces. This result is sensitive to the extrapola- tion of laboratory microcratering experiment results to real meteoroid-asteroid collisions and needs further study. If this extrapolation holds, then meteoroid impacts are more important to the dynamics of small asteroids than had previ- ously been considered. Asteroids orbiting on prograde orbits near the Earth encounter an anisotropic arXiv:1407.3714v1 [astro-ph.EP] 14 Jul 2014 meteoroid environment, including a population of particles on retrograde orbits generally accepted to be material from long-period comets spiralling inwards under Poynting-Robertson drag. High relative speed (60 km/s) impacts by me- teoroids provide a small effective drag force that decreases asteroid semimajor axes and which is independent of their rotation pole. This effect may exceed the instantaneous Yarkovsky drift at sizes near and below one meter.

    Asteroid Redirect Robotic Mission (ARRM): Observation Campaign Study Paul Chodas, NASA NEO Program Office With assistance from: Lindley Johnson (HQ), Robert Jedicke and Eva Schunova (U. of Hawaii), Bob Gershman, Mike Hicks, Steve Chesley, Don Yeomans (JPL) Executive Summary • Current population models suggest that there are a large number of good ARRM candidate targets, but current surveys are finding only 2 to 3 per year, and only 4 of the known candidates can be adequately characterized (2009 BD, 2011 MD, 2013 EC20, 2008 HU4). • Discovery of good candidates is challenging, but the rate can be increased to at least 5 per year via near-term enhancements to current survey assets, as well as additional assets that can be online by 2015. • Enhancing surveys to find more ARRM candidates also increases their capabilities for finding potentially hazardous asteroids in general. • The discovery process alone is not sufficient to identify good candidates: physical characterization is also needed, particularly re size and mass. • Radar is a key characterization asset for ARRM candidates. • Rapid response is critical for physical characterization of newly discovered ARRM candidates. The process has been successfully exercised for a small candidate asteroid. Asteroid Redirect Mission • Mission Formulation Review • For Public Release 2 Numbers of Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) • 99% of Near-Earth Objects are asteroids (NEAs). • Current number of known NEAs: ~10,000, discovered at a rate of ~1000 per year. • Since 1998, NASA’s NEO Observation Program has led the international NEO discovery and characterization effort; this responsibility should continue in the search for smaller asteroids. • 95% of 1-km and larger NEAs have been found; the completion percentage drops for smaller asteroids because the population increases exponentially as size decreases.

  • Analysis and Selection of Optimal Targets for a Planetary Defense Technology Demonstration Mission
    Analysis and Selection of Optimal Targets for a Planetary Defense Technology Demonstration Mission Sam Wagner, ∗ Tim Winkler, y and Bong Wie z Asteroid Deflection Research Center, Iowa State University, Ames, IA, USA In the past; various options have been proposed for mitigating the impact threat of near-Earth objects (NEOs. This paper presents mission analysis and design to potential NEO candidates for a demonstration of such planetary defense technologies. In particu- lar, a flight demonstration mission is necessary to validate the effectiveness of blending a hypervelocity kinetic impactor with a penetrated nuclear subsurface explosion. Possible asteroid candidates are found by determining optimal missions for several possible mission architectures for nearly 3400 potential asteroids. The optimization is performed using a genetic algorithm developed to solve complex mission design problems. I. Introduction As early as 1992, the idea of discovering and tracking near-Earth objects (NEOs) was proposed to the U.S. Congress.1 The search, called the Spaceguard Survey, was later implemented in 1998 with the ultimate goal of finding 90 percent of the estimated asteroid population of 1 km in diameter or larger by 2008. This survey only intended to find asteroids that were large enough to cause catastrophe on a global scale. While not large enough to affect the entire globe, impacts with objects smaller than 1 km occur more frequently, and cause significant damage upon impact. In 2005, the George E. Brown, Jr. Near-Earth Object Survey Act expanded the search to include the detection and characterization of NEOs as small as 140 m. The new objectives retained the goal of detecting 90 percent of the NEO population, but extended the completion date to the end of 2020.

  • Physical Characterization Studies of Near-Earth Object Spacecraft Mission Targets
    Physical Characterization Studies of Near-Earth Object Spacecraft Mission Targets Eileen V. Ryan and William H. Ryan Magdalena Ridge Observatory, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology 101 East Road, Socorro, NM 87801 ABSTRACT Periodic asteroids and comets that come within a perihelion distance of 1.3 AU or less are defined as Near- Earth Objects (NEOs). These small bodies are in dynamically favorable positions as potential spacecraft mission targets. As a consequence, space missions to NEOs are underway or in development by several major agencies (e.g., NASA, ESA, JAXA), and recently, a manned mission to an NEO was announced as a NASA goal to be accomplished by the year 2025. Further, NASA has selected the OSIRIS-REx unmanned spacecraft mission for launch in 2016. The spacecraft will rendezvous with and collect samples from the near-Earth asteroid 1999 RQ36. Acquiring more information about the physical nature of NEOs not only contributes to general scientific pursuits and preparation for spacecraft missions, but is important to better address the threat from dangerous NEOs having Earth-crossing orbits. We will present new data obtained by photometric, spectroscopic, and other techniques on the physical properties of several Earth-approaching asteroids that are potential mission candidates. We will discuss collaborative efforts with researchers using radar to characterize prospective targets, and outline the synergy and increased science return of such an endeavor. In addition, we will present characterization results of the photometric properties of asteroid 1999 RQ36 at visible wavelengths including its rotation rate. These data were collected during the 2011-2012 apparition of the asteroid, which is the last opportunity for ground-based studies before OSIRIS-REx is launched.
