  • On the Rotation Rates and Axis Ratios of the Smallest Known Near-Earth
    On the rotation rates and axis ratios of the smallest known near-Earth asteroids—the archetypes of the Asteroid Redirect Mission targets Patrick Hatcha, Paul A. Wiegerta,b,∗ aDepartment of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Western Ontario, London, N6A 3K7 CANADA bCentre for Planetary Science and Exploration, The University of Western Ontario, London, N6A 3K7 CANADA Abstract NASA’s Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) has been proposed with the aim to capture a small asteroid a few meters in size and redirect it into an orbit around the Moon. There it can be investigated at leisure by astronauts aboard an Orion or other spacecraft. The target for the mission has not yet been selected, and there are very few potential targets currently known. Though sufficiently small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are thought to be numerous, they are also difficult to detect and characterize with current observational facilities. Here we collect the most up-to-date information on near-Earth asteroids in this size range to outline the state of understanding of the properties of these small NEAs. Observational biases certainly mean that our sample is not an ideal representation of the true population of small NEAs. However our sample is representative of the eventual target list for the ARM mission, which will be compiled under very similar observational constraints unless dramatic changes are made to the way near-Earth asteroids are searched for and studied. We collect here information on 88 near-Earth asteroids with diameters less than 60 meters and with high quality light curves. We find that the typical rotation period is 40 minutes.

  • Radar Images Provide Details on Halloween Asteroid 4 November 2015
    Radar images provide details on Halloween asteroid 4 November 2015 California, to transmit high-power microwaves toward the asteroid. The signal bounced off the asteroid, and its radar echoes were received by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's (NRAO) 100-meter (330-foot) Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. The radar images achieve a spatial resolution as fine as 13 feet (4 meters) per pixel. The radar images were taken as the asteroid flew past Earth on October 31 at 1 p.m. EDT at about 1.3 lunar distances (300,000 miles, or 480,000 kilometers) from Earth. Asteroid 2015 TB145 is spherical in shape and approximately 2,000 feet (600 meters) in diameter. "The radar images of asteroid 2015 TB145 show Asteroid 2015 TB145 is depicted in eight individual radar portions of the surface not seen previously and images collected on Oct. 31, 2015 between 5:55 a.m. PDT (8:55 a.m. EDT) and 6:08 a.m. PDT (9:08 a.m. reveal pronounced concavities, bright spots that EDT). At the time the radar images were taken, the might be boulders, and other complex features that asteroid was between 440,000 miles (710,000 could be ridges," said Lance Benner of NASA's Jet kilometers) and about 430,000 miles (690,000 Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who kilometers) distant. Asteroid 2015 TB145 safely flew past leads NASA's asteroid radar research program.

  • Revisitfrom2012
    A Revisit From Near-Earth Object (NEO) 2012 TC4 Eight days after its discovery, near-Earth object (NEO) 2012 TC4 approached our planet to within 95,000 km, or 25% of the Moon's distance, when it reached perigee at 05:29 UT on 12 October 2012. In this close flyby, 2012 TC4 crossed Earth's orbit travelling inbound toward perihelion on 25.0 November 2012 UT, when it was about 91% of our distance from the Sun. Even in the Earth's night sky before perigee, 2012 TC4 was difficult to observe. Its absolute magnitude H = 26.525 placed its diameter somewhere in the 7.5-30 m range, depending on its unknown surface reflectivity, making observations possible only at very close range. Upon entering Earth's daytime sky as it passed through perigee, 2012 TC4's orbit condition code (OCC) stood at 4 thanks to 281 visible light telescopic observations spanning a 7-day arc. At OCC = 4, 2012 TC4 along-track heliocentric position uncertainty would increase at rates up to 382 arc- seconds per decade.1 Predicted position precision, together with knowledge of 2012 TC4's size and shape, can be vastly improved with radar observations. Although observations were attempted with the Goldstone, California DSS-14 planetary radar in 2012, no echoes were obtained before pointing uncertainties quickly exceeded the precision required to detect 2012 TC4. As it was lost to further observations in 2012, Earth gravity perturbations to 2012 TC4 had increased the NEO's heliocentric orbit period from 1.455 years to 1.667 years.

We obtained 3-band mid-infrared observations of this asteroid with the ESO VLT-VISIR instrument covering approximately four hours in total. We also monitored the visual lightcurve during the close-encounter phase. The NEA has a (most likely) rotation period of 2:939 ± 0:005 h and the visual lightcurve shows a peak-to-peak amplitude of approximately 0:12 ± 0:02 mag. A second rotation period of 4:779 ± 0:012 h, with an amplitude of the Fourier fit of 0:10 ± 0:02 mag, also seems compatible with the available lightcurve measurements. We estimate a V − R colour of 0:56 ± 0:05 mag from different entries in the MPC database.

    RADAR OBSERVATIONS OF NEAR-EARTH ASTEROIDS Lance Benner Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology Goldstone/Arecibo Bistatic Radar Images of Asteroid 2014 HQ124 Copyright 2015 California Institute of Technology. Government sponsorship acknowledged. What Can Radar Do? Study physical properties: Image objects with 4-meter resolution (more detailed than the Hubble Space Telescope), 3-D shapes, sizes, surface features, spin states, regolith, constrain composition, and gravitational environments Identify binary and triple objects: orbital parameters, masses and bulk densities, and orbital dynamics Improve orbits: Very precise and accurate. Measure distances to tens of meters and velocities to cm/s. Shrink position uncertainties drastically. Predict motion for centuries. Prevent objects from being lost. à Radar Imaging is analogous to a spacecraft flyby Radar Telescopes Arecibo Goldstone Puerto Rico California Diameter = 305 m Diameter = 70 m S-band X-band Small-Body Radar Detections Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs): 540 Main-Belt Asteroids: 138 Comets: 018 Current totals are updated regularly at: http://echo.jpl.nasa.gov/asteroids/index.html Near-Earth Asteroid Radar Detection History Big increase started in late 2011 NEA Radar Detections Year Arecibo Goldstone Number 1999 07 07 10 2000 16 07 18 2001 24 08 25 2002 22 09 27 2003 25 10 29 2004 21 04 23 2005 29 10 33 2006 13 07 16 2007 10 06 15 2008 25 13 26 2009 16 14 19 2010 15 07 22 2011 21 06 22 2012 67 26 77 2013 66 32 78 2014 81 31 96 2015 29 12 36 Number of NEAs known: 12642 (as of June 3) Observed by radar: 4.3% H N Radar Fraction 9.5 1 1 1.000 10.5 0 0 0.000 11.5 1 1 1.000 12.5 4 0 0.000 Fraction of all potential NEA 13.5 10 3 0.300 targets being observed: ~1/3 14.5 39 11 0.282 15.5 117 22 0.188 See the talk by Naidu et al.

  • Habitability of the Early Earth: Liquid Water Under a Faint Young Sun Facilitated by Strong Tidal Heating Due to a Nearby Moon
    Habitability of the early Earth: Liquid water under a faint young Sun facilitated by strong tidal heating due to a nearby Moon Ren´eHeller · Jan-Peter Duda · Max Winkler · Joachim Reitner · Laurent Gizon Draft July 9, 2020 Abstract Geological evidence suggests liquid water near the Earths surface as early as 4.4 gigayears ago when the faint young Sun only radiated about 70 % of its modern power output. At this point, the Earth should have been a global snow- ball. An extreme atmospheric greenhouse effect, an initially more massive Sun, release of heat acquired during the accretion process of protoplanetary material, and radioactivity of the early Earth material have been proposed as alternative reservoirs or traps for heat. For now, the faint-young-sun paradox persists as one of the most important unsolved problems in our understanding of the origin of life on Earth. Here we use astrophysical models to explore the possibility that the new-born Moon, which formed about 69 million years (Myr) after the ignition of the Sun, generated extreme tidal friction { and therefore heat { in the Hadean R.

Shields A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Victoria Meadows, Chair Cecilia Bitz Rory Barnes Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Astronomy University of Washington Abstract The Effect of Star-Planet Interactions on Planetary Climate Aomawa L. Shields Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Victoria Meadows Astronomy The goal of the work presented here is to explore the unique interactions between a host star, an orbiting planet, and additional planets in a stellar system, and to develop and test methods that include both radiative and gravitational effects on planetary climate and habitability. These methods can then be used to identify and assess the possible climates of potentially habitable planets in observed planetary systems. In this work I explored key star-planet interactions using a hierarchy of models, which I modified to incorporate the spectrum of stars of different spectral types. Using a 1- D energy-balance climate model, a 1-D line-by-line, radiative-transfer model, and a 3-D general circulation model, I simulated planets covered by ocean, land, and water ice of varying grain size, with incident radiation from stars of different spectral types. I find that terrestrial planets orbiting stars with higher near-UV radiation exhibit a stronger ice-albedo feedback. Ice extent is much greater on a planet orbiting an F-dwarf star than on a planet orbiting a G-dwarf star at an equivalent flux distance, and ice-covered conditions occur on an F-dwarf planet with only a 2% reduction in instellation (incident stellar radiation) relative to the present instellation on Earth, assuming fixed CO2 (present atmospheric level on Earth).
