Collisions are one of the key processes shaping planetary systems. Asteroid families are
outcomes of such collision still identifiable across our solar system. The families provide a …

We studied a sample of 93 asteroid pairs, ie, pairs of genetically related asteroids that are on
highly similar heliocentric orbits. We estimated times elapsed since separation of pair …

Context. The recent close approach of the near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon offered a
rare opportunity to obtain high-quality observational data of various types. Aims. We used …

This is a study of the collisional history of the asteroids in the main asteroid belt. Over the∼
4.5 Byr of the belt existence, every asteroid collided with others a multitude of times …

Asteroid families are groups of asteroids that share a common origin. They can be the
outcome of a collision or be the result of the rotational failure of a parent body or its satellites …

ABSTRACT We apply the Hierarchical Clustering method (HCM) and Selective Backward
Integration method (BIM) to search for associated families and young families for all main …

Asteroid pairs are genetically related asteroids that recently separated (< few million years),
but still reside on similar heliocentric orbits. A few hundred of these systems have been …

We explore binary asteroid formation by spin-up and rotational disruption considering the
NASA DART mission's encounter with the Didymos–Dimorphos binary, which was the first …

The discovery of the first interstellar asteroid, 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuamua), has opened a new
era for research on interstellar objects. In this paper, we study the rotational dynamics of …

We analyzed the dynamic evolution of a number of young asteroid pairs in close orbits in
order to constrain their ages. Several methods of pair selection and estimation of their age …
