Estimates of the influence of the solar radiation pressure and the Yarkovsky effect on the long-term orbital dynamics are obtained for a number of asteroids experiencing successive approaches to planets. Based on the estimates of the change in the value of the asteroid’s proper rotation period obtained in (Melnikov, 2022) due to its approaches to the planets, the influence of such events on the further orbital dynamics of an asteroid through the Yarkovsky effect is considered. It is shown that close encounters with the planets of small asteroids (tens of meters in diameter) with fast rotation (proper rotation period less than 10 h), leading to a change in the asteroid rotation period by several hours, can change the magnitude of the Yarkovsky effect by 30–50%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
