Mab's orbital motion explained
Showalter, M. R.; de Pater, I.; Kumar, K.
We explored the hypothesis that Mab's anomalous orbital motion, as deduced from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data (Showalter, M.R., Lissauer, J.J. [2006]. Science (New York, NY) 311, 973-977), is the result of gravitational interactions with a putative suite of large bodies in the µ-ring. We conducted simulations to compute the gravitational…
Properties of craters on the Achaia region of Asteroid (21) Lutetia
Jorda, L.; Lamy, P. L.; Groussin, O. +3 more
We report on the physical properties of the craters of Achaia region of the main-belt Asteroid (21) Lutetia, based on images obtained with the OSIRIS instrument during the Rosetta flyby that took place on 10 July 2010. Images of the surface were acquired with its Narrow Angle Camera, from which Digital Terrain Models (DTM) of the surface were cons…
