311P/PANSTARRS是一颗活动小行星,具有小行星和彗星的双重特征,是中国"天问二号"的探测目标之一.311P/PANSTARRS直径较小,约为400 m,非引力效应可能会对其长期动力学演化产生较大的影响.通过假定不同表面组分,研究了Yarkovsky效应对311P/PANSTARRS轨道演化的影响,讨论了密近交汇、非破坏性碰撞和YORP(Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack)效应等非引力效应,计算了小行星与大行星密近交汇及碰撞概率,估计了311P/PANSTARRS达到自转周期分裂极限的时标.模拟结果显示与纯引力模型相比,Yarkovsky效应可能会加快311P/PANSTARRS离开当前共振区域,大约在10Myr以后311P/PANSTARRS会离开当前所在共振带,在表面覆盖风化层的情况下有机会通过ν6长期共振成为越火小行星;在考虑YORP效应的情况下,311P/PANSTARRS在2 Myr时标内可达到自转周期分裂极限;在考虑Yarkovsky效应及YORP效应等因素的情况下,311P/PANSTARRS在10 Myr时标内仍可保持其动力学稳定性,且YORP效应不会显著影响其半长径偏移量.
Dynamical Characteristics of Active Asteroid 311P/PANSTARRS
Active asteroids have received lots of attention since they were discovered.311P/PANSTARRS is one of the most interesting active asteroids in China recently and one of the targets of Tianwen-2.Because of its small size of about 400 m,the Yarkovsky effect may have a significantly influence on its long-term dynamics.This paper discussed the changes in the long-term motion of 311P/PANSTARRS caused by the Yarkovsky effect.By assuming different surface compositions,this simulation introduced the semi-major axis drift by propagating orbits of orbital clones,and the effects of other factors such as close encounters,meteoroid impacts and YORP effect on the orbit evolution of 311P/PANSTARRS were also discussed.Additionally,we estimated the time scale for 311P/PANSTARRS to reach its rotation period of splitting limit.The results of the simulations show that the Yarkovsky effect may cause 311P/PANSTARRS to exit from the resonance region faster when compared to a purely gravitational model.311P/PANSTARRS will leave the current resonance region after roughly 10 Myr and have a chance to become a Mars-crossing asteroid through ν6 secular resonance due to the diurnal Yarkovsky effect if its surface is covered by a re-golith layer.It is concluded that 311P/PANSTARRS is stable at least 10 Myr time scale even if taking the Yarkovsky effect and the YORP effect into account.Furthermore,the YORP effect may not significantly affect the semi-major axis drift of 311P/PANSTARRS.
