The OSIRIS‐REx target asteroid (101955) Bennu: Constraints on its physical, geological, and dynamical nature from astronomical observations (2015, methodology): “Comparison of ECAS spectrophotometry from Hergenrother et al. (2013) and visible-to-near-IR spectroscopy from Clark et al. (2011). ECAS filter photometry are consistent with the spectral data and confirms the Btype classification of Bennu.”
In search of the source of asteroid (101955) Bennu: Applications of the stochastic YORP model (2015, methodology): “…these features, we assume that immediately after Erigone disrupted, the debris began to spread out in semimajor axis by the Yarkovsky effect, with smaller bodies drifting inward toward or outward away from the Sun faster than larger bodies (Bottke et al., 2006a; Vokrouhlický and Bottke, 2012).”
Identification and Dynamical Properties of Asteroid Families (2015, neutral): “(20XX), NB04 = Nesvorný and Bottke (2 004), T07 = Tsiganis et al. (2007), F06 = Farley et al.”
Rubble Pile Asteroids (2018, background): “The time for a body of this size to halve or double its spin rate (YORP can spin down objects too) by this effect is on order ~1 million years (Bottke et al. 2006), which, while slow, leaves plenty of time during an average near-Earth asteroid lifetime (~10 Myr) or the collisional lifetime of a 1km ”
OSIRIS-REx: Sample Return from Asteroid (101955) Bennu (2017, background): “These torques frequently drive asteroid obliquities to common end states near 0° or 180° (e.g., Bottke et al. 2006; Vokrouhlický et al. 2015).”
Near Earth Asteroids with measurable Yarkovsky effect (2012, background): “It is well known that nongravitational forces should be considered as important as collisions and gravitational perturbations for the overall understanding of asteroid evolution (Bottke et al., 2006).”
Spin-up of rubble-pile asteroids: Disruption, satellite formation, and equilibrium shapes (2012, background): “A natural mechanism widely attributed with imparting spinstate changes on small bodies is the YORP effect, which arises from reflection and/or absorption and re-emission of solar radiation by the surface of an irregularly shaped asteroid (Rubincam, 2000; Paddack and Rhee, 1975; Bottke et al., 2006).”
Thermal inertia of near-Earth asteroids and implications for the magnitude of the Yarkovsky effect (2007, background): “The Yarkovsky effect is also important to explain the spreading of asteroid dynamical families (Bottke et al., 2001; Bottke et al., 2006; Nesvorný and Bottke, 2004).”
Predicting the Earth encounters of (99942) Apophis (2008, background): “001 thought to correspond to a highly porous surface) (Bottke et al., 2006).”
