Automated Classification of Asteroids into Families at Work
TLDR
It is demonstrated how by the new approach the asteroid family classification becomes stable in general terms (converging towards a permanent list of confirmed families), and in the same time evolving in details (to account for the newly discovered asteroids) at each update.
Asteroid family ages
Machine learning classification of new asteroid families members
Asteroid families are groups of asteroids that are the product of collisions or of the rotational fission of a parent object. These groups are mainly identified in proper elements or frequencies…
Machine-learning identification of asteroid groups
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.…
Families classification including multiopposition asteroids
Abstract In this paper we present the results of our new classification of asteroid families, upgraded by using catalog with > 500,000 asteroids. We discuss the outcome of the most recent update of…
Color study of asteroid families within the MOVIS catalog
The aim of this work is to study the compositional diversity of asteroid families based on their near-infrared colors, using the data within the MOVIS catalog. As of 2017, this catalog presents data…
An automatic approach to exclude interlopers from asteroid families
Asteroid families are valuable source of information to many asteroid-related re- searches, assuming a reliable list of their members could be obtained. However, as the number of known asteroids…
Yarkovsky V-shape identification of asteroid families
Volume and mass distribution in selected asteroid families
The main focus of this paper is calculation of the diameters of asteroids belonging to five families (Vesta, Eos, Eunomia, Koronis, and Themis). To do that, we used the HCM algorithm applied for a…
Asteroids 87887 – 415992: the youngest known asteroid pair?
Context. Pairs of asteroids, that is, couples of single bodies on tightly similar heliocentric orbits, were recently postulated as a new category of objects in the solar system. They are believed to…
