Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy
1. Dynamics of Extrasolar Planets (C. Beaugé) The orbital fits of multi-planetary systems from radial velocity data has proved to be a complex task. In some cases, different orbital solutions provide…

Meteorite Delivery via Yarkovsky Orbital Drift
Abstract We provide a unified discussion of the Yarkovsky effect in both the original, “diurnal” variant and also for the “seasonal” variant which has been recently shown by Rubincam (1995) to be…

An Archaean heavy bombardment from a destabilized extension of the asteroid belt
TLDR
It is reported that the Late Heavy Bombardment lasted much longer than previously thought, with most late impactors coming from the E belt, an extended and now largely extinct portion of the asteroid belt between 1.7 and 2.1 astronomical units from Earth.

Seismic Triggering of Eruptions in the Far Field : Volcanoes and Geysers
Approximately 0.4% of explosive volcanic eruptions occur within a few days of large, distant earthquakes. This many “triggered” eruptions is much greater than expected by chance. Several mechanisms…
COMETARY ORIGIN OF THE ZODIACAL CLOUD AND CARBONACEOUS MICROMETEORITES. IMPLICATIONS FOR HOT DEBRIS DISKS
The zodiacal cloud is a thick circumsolar disk of small debris particles produced by asteroid collisions and comets. Their relative contribution and how particles of different sizes dynamically…

The Effect of Yarkovsky Thermal Forces on the Dynamical Evolution of Asteroids and Meteoroids
The Yarkovsky effect is a thermal radiation force that causes objects to undergo semimajor axis drift and spinup/spindown as a function of their spin, orbit, and material properties. This mechanism…

Dynamical Spreading of Asteroid Families by the Yarkovsky Effect
TLDR
Assuming that D ≲ 20 kilometer family members, since their formation, have undergone semimajor axis drift by the thermal force called the Yarkovsky effect helps explain why families are sharply bounded by nearby Kirkwood gaps, why some families have asymmetric shapes, and the curious presence of family members on short-lived orbits.
