Asteroid families: properties, recent advances, and future opportunities
Collisions are one of the key processes sha** planetary systems. Asteroid families are
outcomes of such collision still identifiable across our solar system. The families provide a …

The known large Near-Earth Objects' highways: dynamical evolution, fates, and lifetimes
L Liberato, R Araújo, O Winter - The European Physical Journal Special …, 2023 - Springer
It is well known that the Near-Earth Objects population is sustained by bodies that migrate
inwards from the main asteroid belt and outer regions of the Solar System. In this work, we …

Potential Jupiter-Family comet contamination of the main asteroid belt
HH Hsieh, N Haghighipour - Icarus, 2016 - Elsevier
We present the results of “snapshot” numerical integrations of test particles representing
comet-like and asteroid-like objects in the inner Solar System aimed at investigating the …

On the ages of resonant, eroded and fossil asteroid families
In this work we have estimated 10 collisional ages of 9 families for which for different
reasons our previous attempts failed. In general, these are difficult cases that required …

Yarkovsky V-shape identification of asteroid families
BT Bolin, M Delbo, A Morbidelli, KJ Walsh - Icarus, 2017 - Elsevier
There are only a few known main belt (MB) asteroid families with ages greater than 2 Gyr
(Brož et al., 2013; Spoto et al., 2015). Estimates based on the family producing collision rate …

An automatic approach to exclude interlopers from asteroid families
Asteroid families are a valuable source of information to many asteroid-related researches,
assuming a reliable list of their members could be obtained. However, as the number of …

Constraints on the original ejection velocity fields of asteroid families
Asteroid families form as a result of large-scale collisions among main belt asteroids. The
orbital distribution of fragments after a family-forming impact could inform us about their …

A dark asteroid family in the Phocaea region
We report the discovery of a new asteroid family among the dark asteroids residing in the
Phocaea region the Tamara family. We make use of available physical data to separate …

Asteroid families interacting with secular resonances
V Carruba - Machine Learning for Small Bodies in the Solar System, 2025 - Elsevier
Asteroid families form from collisions or fissions, and their initial dispersion is due to
unknown ejection velocity fields. The asteroids' orbits may change due to various factors …

Orbital dynamics of the solar basin
A bstract We study the dynamics of the solar basin—the accumulated population of weakly-
interacting particles on bound orbits in the Solar System. We focus on particles starting off on …
