Thermal Models of YORP and Yarkovsky Effects: Typical Evolution and YORP Equilibria
Abstract
An approximate analytic theory of the YORP and Yarkovsky effects lets us to boil down the information about an asteroid to a few shape coefficients, consistently describing general evolutionary trends, and predicting a special kind of YORP equilibrium.
