Binary asteroid population 1. Angular momentum content (2007, background): “The estimated binary survival lifetime is much shorter than the median lifetime of NEAs in their heliocentric orbits that is around 10 Myr (Gladman et al. 2000). This implies that binaries formed in and transported from the main belt may be only a small part of the NEA binary population, and that th”
Debiased Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distribution of the Near-Earth Objects (2002, background): “…of the Mars-crossing asteroid population, (ii) many asteroids in the IMC region evolve into relatively long-lived NEAs, and (iii) the IMCs can be directly replenished by an extensive network of resonances residing in the main belt (Migliorini et al. 1998, Michel et al. 2000b, Gladman et al. 2000).”
The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt (2015, background): “In nearEarth space, the orbital dynamics are controlled by the chaotic interactions with the terrestrial planets and thus the population is transient, with only a 10 Myr lifetime (Gladman et al., 2000).”
The orbital distribution of Near-Earth Objects inside Earth's orbit (2012, background): “If NEAs succeed in reaching the Aten and Atira regions, their dynamical lifetimes from that instant then increase due to their orbital distance from the resonances which can push them into the Sun (Gladman et al., 2000).”
Origin and Evolution of Near-Earth Objects (2002, methodology): “Once in the evolved region, the dynamical lifetime grows longer (~10 m.y., Gladman et al., 2000) because there are no statistically significant dynamical mechanisms that pump the eccentricity up to Sun-grazing values.”
Rubble Pile Asteroids (2018, background): “The story of the Solar System’s small bodies begins with one of the hardest problems in planetary science - planetesimal formation.”
PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM NEOWISE: AN ENHANCEMENT TO THE WIDE-FIELD INFRARED SURVEY EXPLORER FOR SOLAR SYSTEM SCIENCE (2011, background): “NEOs are thought to be a transient population, persisting in their orbits for only a few million years before being ejected into the outer Solar System, crashing into the Sun, or colliding with other bodies (Gladman et al. 2000).”
