Cohesive forces prevent the rotational breakup of rubble-pile asteroid (29075) 1950 DA
1.
LETTER doi:10.1038/nature13632 Cohesive forces
prevent the rotational breakup of rubble-pile asteroid (29075) 1950 DA Ben Rozitis1 , Eric MacLennan1 & Joshua P. Emery1 Space missions1 and ground-based observations2 have shown that someasteroidsareloosecollectionsofrubbleratherthansolidbodies. The physical behaviour of such ‘rubble-pile’ asteroids has been tra- ditionally described using only gravitational and frictional forces within a granular material3 . Cohesive forces in the form of small van der Waals forces between constituent grains have recently been pre- dicted to be important for small rubble piles (ten kilometres across orless),andcouldpotentiallyexplainfastrotationratesinthesmall- asteroid population4–6 . The strongest evidence so far has come from ananalysisoftherotationalbreakupofthemain-beltcometP/2013R3 (ref. 7), although that was indirect and poorly constrainedby obser- vations. Here we report that the kilometre-sized asteroid (29075) 1950 DA (ref. 8) is a rubble pile that is rotating faster than is allowed by gravity and friction. We find that cohesive forces are required to prevent surface mass shedding and structural failure, and that the strengthsoftheforcesarecomparableto,thoughsomewhatlessthan, the forces found between the grains of lunar regolith. It is possible to infer the existence of cohesive forces within an aster- oid by determining whether it is a rubble pile with insufficient self- gravity to prevent rotational breakup by centrifugal forces. One of the largest known candidates is the near-Earth asteroid (29075) 1950 DA (mean diameter of 1.3 km; ref. 8), because it has a rotation period of 2.1216 hthatisjustbeyondthecriticalspinlimitofabout2.2hestimated foracohesionlessasteroid9 .Arubble-pilestructureandthedegreeofself- gravity can be determined by a bulk density measurement, which can beacquiredthroughmodel-to-measurementcomparisonsofYarkovsky orbitaldrift10 .Thisdriftarisesonarotatingasteroidwithnon-zerother- mal inertia, and is caused by the delayed thermal emission of absorbed sunlight, which applies a small propulsion force to the asteroid’s after- noon side. Thermal-infrared observations can constrain the thermal inertia value11 , and precise astrometric position measurements con- ducted over several yearscan constrainthe degree of Yarkovskyorbital drift2 .Recently,theorbitalsemimajoraxisof(29075)1950 DAhasbeen observed to be decreasing at a rate of 44.1 6 8.5 m yr21 because of the Yarkovsky effect12 , which indicates that the asteroid’s sense of rotation must be retrograde. Using the Advanced Thermophysical Model13,14 , in combination with the retrograde radar shape model8 , archival WISE thermal-infrareddata15 (ExtendedDataTable1,andExtendedDataFigs1 and 2), and orbital state12 , we determined the thermal inertia and bulk density of (29075) 1950 DA (see Methods). The thermal inertia value was found to be remarkably low at 24z20 {14 J m22 K21 s21/2 , which gives a corresponding bulk density of 1.7 6 0.7 g cm23 (Fig. 1 and Extended Data Fig. 3). This bulk density is much lower than the minimum value of 3.5 g cm23 requiredto preventlossof surface materialbycentrifugal forces (Fig. 2). Spectral observationsof(29075) 1950 DAindicate eitheranE-or M- type classification in the Tholen taxonomic system16 . However, its low optical albedo and low radar circular polarization ratio8 rule out the E-type classification (Extended Data Table 2). The derived bulk den- sity is inconsistent with the traditional view that M-type asteroids are metallic bodies. However, the Rosetta spacecraft encounter with main- beltasteroid(21) Lutetiahas demonstrated thatnot all M-typeasteroids are metal-rich17 . Indeed, the low radar albedo8 of (29075) 1950 DA is verysimilartothatof(21) Lutetia,suggestingasimilarcomposition.The bestmeteoriteanaloguefor(21) Lutetiaisanenstatitechondrite17 ,which has a grain density of 3.55 g cm23 . Taking the same meteorite analogue and grain density for (29075) 1950DA implies a macro-porosity of 51 6 19% and indicates that it is a rubble-pile asteroid (Fig. 1). GiventhattheWISEobservationsweretakenwhen(29075) 1950DA was about 1.7 AU (one astronomical unit, AU, is the distance from Earth to the Sun) from the Sun, the derived thermal inertia value scales to 36z30 {20 Jm22 K21 s21/2 at1AU becauseoftemperature-dependenteffects. Thisscaledvalueiscomparabletothatofthe,45J m22 K21 s21/2 value determinedforthelunarsurfacefromthermal-infraredmeasurements18 , and implies the presence of a similar fine-grained regolith. This is con- sistent with (29075) 1950 DA’s low radar circular polarization ratio, which suggests a very smooth surface at centimetre to decimetre scales8 . The sub-observer latitude of the WISE observations was ,2u, which indicatesthatthissurfacematerialwasprimarilydetectedaround(29075) 1950 DA’s equator.

(3 6 1) 3 1025 gE (where gE is 9.81 m s22 ) around the equator (Methods; Figs 1, 2 and 3). This makes the pres- ence of a fine-grained regolith unexpected, and requires the existence ofcohesive forcesfor(29075) 1950 DAtoretain sucha surface.Ingran- ular mechanics, the strength of this cohesive force is represented by the bond number B, which is defined as the ratio of this force to the grain’s weight. Lunar regolith has been found to be highly cohesive because of van der Waals forces arising between grains19 , and experimental and theoretical studies have shown that the bond number for this cohesive force is given by B~10{5 g{1 A d{2 ð1Þ where gA is the ambient gravity and d is the grain diameter5 . To pre- vent loss of surface material requires bond numbers of at least one, but surfacestabilityrequiresthebondnumberstobegreaterthanten,which places limits on the possible grain sizes present. For a peak negative ambientgravityof33 1025 gE,thisrelationshipdictatesthatonlygrains with diameters less than ,6 cm can be present and stable on the aster- oid’s surface. This upper limit of a diameter of ,6 cm for the grains is consistent with(29075) 1950 DA’slunar-likeregolith.Inparticular,lunarregolith has micrometre- to centimetre-sized grains described by an approx- imate d23 size distribution6,19 . The rubble-pile asteroid (25143) Itokawa also has a d23 grain size distribution but has boulders ranging up to ,40 m in size on the surface20 , which is reflected in its much higher thermalinertiavalueof,750 Jm22 K21 s21/2 (ref.21).(29075) 1950 DA might have had large boulders present on its surface in the past, but these would have been progressively lost in order of size as it was spun- up by the YORP effect (that is, spin state changes caused by the aniso- tropicreflectionand thermalre-emissionofsunlight fromanirregularly shaped asteroid10 ). This spinning-up selection process leaves behind the relatively fine-grained regolith with low thermal inertia that we infer today5 , and would operate in addition to the thermal fatigue mech- anism of asteroid regolith formation22 . To check whether internal cohesive forces are also required to pre- vent the structural failure of (29075) 1950DA, we applied the Drucker– Prager model for determining the failure stresses within a geological material4,6 (Methods). In this model, the maximum spin rate that a rubble-pile asteroid can adopt depends on its overall shape, degree of self-gravity and internal strength. The internal strength results from theangle of friction between constituent grains and anycohesive forces present.Usingthedynamicallyequivalentandequal-volumeellipsoidof (29075) 1950DA,andusinganangleoffrictiontypicalforlunarregolith of 40u (ref. 19), we find that a minimum cohesive strength of 64z12 {20 Pa is required to prevent structural failure (Figs 1 and 4). This is less than thatof100 Pameasuredforweaklunarregolith19 ,andiswithintherange of3–300 Paestimatedbynumericalsimulationsofrubble-pileasteroids6 . It is also consistent with the range of 40–210 Pa estimated for the pre- cursor body of the main-belt comet P/2013 R3 (ref. 7). This finding proves that not all small asteroids rotating faster than the cohesionless critical spin limit are coherent bodies or monoliths4–6 . It also supports the view that some high-altitude bursting meteors, such as the impact- ing asteroid 2008 TC3 (ref. 23), are very small rubble piles held to- gether by cohesive forces6 . Finally, given that (29075) 1950 DA has a 1 in 19,800 chance of im- pacting theEarthin2880 (ref.12), and hasthepotential tobreakuplike P/2013R3 because of its tensional state, there are implications for im- pact mitigation. Some suggested deflection techniques, such as the kin- etic impactor24 , violently interact with the target asteroid and have the potential to destabilize long-ranging granular force networks present25 . With such tenuous cohesive forces holding one of these asteroids to- gether, a very small impulse may result in complete disruption. This may have happened to the precursor body of P/2013 R3 through a me- teorite impact. Therefore, there is a potential danger of turning one Earth-threatening asteroid into several if cohesive forces within rub- ble-pile asteroids are not properly understood. 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 0 25 50 75 100Negativeambientgravityarea(%) Bulk density (g cm–3) 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 0 1.5 3 4.5 6 Peaknegativeambientgravity(10–5gE) Figure 2 | Degree of negative ambient gravity for (29075) 1950 DA.

METHODS Thermophysical modelling. The
ATPM was used to determine the thermal in- ertia and bulk density of (29075) 1950 DA. The ATPM was developed to interpret thermal-infrared observations of planetary surfaces lacking atmospheres13 , and si- multaneously make asteroidal Yarkovsky and YORP effect predictions14 . Accurate interpretation of thermal-infrared observations was verified by applying it to the Moon13 ,andithasbeensuccessfullyappliedtoasteroids(1862)Apollo26 and(101955) Bennu2 to determine their thermal and physical properties. Tosummarize howitworks26 , theATPMcomputesthe surface temperature var- iation for each surface element during a rotation by solving one-dimensional heat conduction with a surface boundary condition that includes direct and multiply scattered sunlight, shadowing, and re-absorbed thermal radiation from interfacing surfaceelements(thatis,globalself-heatingeffects).Rough-surfacethermal-infrared beaming (that is, thermal re-emission of absorbed solar energy back towards the Sun) is explicitly included in the form of hemispherical craters, which have been showntoaccuratelyrecreatethelunarthermal-infraredbeamingeffect13 .Thedegree ofroughnessforeachsurface elementis specified bythe fraction ofitsareacovered by the (rough) hemispherical craters, fR. The asteroid thermal emission as a func- tion of wavelength, rotation phase and various thermophysical properties is deter- mined by applying the Planck function to the derived temperatures and summing acrossvisiblesurfaceelements.TheYarkovskyandYORPeffectsarethendetermined by computing the total recoil forces and torques from photons reflected off and thermally emitted from the asteroid surface. Analysis of WISE thermal-infrared observations. The thermal inertia of (29075) 1950DAwasdeterminedusingarchivalWISEthermal-infraredobservations,which were obtained on 12–13 July 2010 UT (Universal Time) during the WISE All-Sky survey15 . All instances of WISE observations of (29075) 1950 DA were taken from theMinorPlanetCenterdatabaseandusedtoquerythe WISEAll-SkySingleExpo- sure (L1b) source database via the NASA/IPAC Infrared Service Archive. Search constraintsof 1099 withinthe MinorPlanetCenter ephemeris of(29075) 1950 DA, andJuliandateswithin10softhereportedobservations,wereusedtoensureproper data retrieval. The magnitudes returned from this query were kept only in the in- stances in which there was a positive object detection or where a 95% confidence brightness upper limit was reported. (29075) 1950 DA had a faint apparent visual magnitude of 20.5 when the WISE observations were taken, and was only detected at 3s levels or greater in the W3 (12 mm) and W4 (22 mm) WISE infrared bands. Additionally, we used only data points that repeatedly sampled common rotation phases of (29075) 1950 DA to ensure consistency, and to avoid outliers, within the data set. This resulted in 14 useable data points in the W3 band and 2 useable data points in the W4 band (Extended Data Table 1). The WISE images for these data pointswerealsoretrievedtocheckforanycontaminatingsourcesorextendedobjects surrounding (29075) 1950 DA (see Extended Data Fig. 2). The WISE magnitudes were converted to fluxes, and the reported red–blue calibrator discrepancy27 was takeninto account.A 5% uncertaintywas alsoadded in quadrature to the reported observational uncertainties to take into account additional calibration uncertain- ties27 . As in previous works of WISE asteroid observations (for example, ref. 15), we colour-correct the model fluxes using the WISE corrections of ref. 27 rather than colour-correcting the observed fluxes. The free parameters to be constrained by the WISE observations in the model fitting include the diameter, thermal inertia, surface roughness and rotation phase. Although the radar circular polarization ratio indicates a very smooth surface at centimetre-to-decimetre spatial scales8 , it does not provide a constraint on surface roughness occurring at smaller spatial scales that are comparable to the depth of (29075)1950DA’s thermal skin (,1mm). Surface roughness occurring at these spa- tial scales induce the thermal-infrared beaming effect, which requires that roughness must be left as a free parameter to allow the full range of possible interpretations of the WISE thermal-infrared observations to be obtained. In addition, the uncer- taintyon(29075) 1950 DA’smeasuredrotationperioddoesnotallowaccuratephas- ing of the radar shape model between the light-curve observations taken in 2001 and the WISE observations takenin 2010. Therefore, the rotationphase of the first observation (usedas the reference) was leftas a free parameter in the model fitting. In the model fitting, the model thermal flux predictions, FMOD(ln, D, C, fR, Q), were compared with the observations, FOBS(ln), and observational errors, sOBS(ln), by varying the diameter D, thermal inertia C, roughness fraction fR and rotation phase Q to give the minimum x2 fit x2 ~ XN n~1 FMOD ln,D,C,fR,wð Þ{FOBS lnð Þ sOBS lnð Þ !2 ð2Þ for a set of n 5 1 to N observations with wavelength ln. Separate thermophysical modelswere runfor thermalinertia valuesranging from0 to 1,000J m22 K21 s21/2 in equally spaced steps of 20 J m22 K21 s21/2 initially, and then between 0 and 90J m22 K21 s21/2 in2J m22 K21 s21/2 stepsoncetheprobablethermalinertiavalue had been constrained. The diameter, roughness fraction and rotation phase were also stepped through their plausible ranges, forming a four-dimensional grid of model test parameters (or test clones) with the thermal inertia steps. A parameter regionboundedby a constant Dx2 atthe 3s confidencelevel then defined the range of possible parameters. Finally, counting the number of acceptable test clones in each parameter value bin then allowed us to obtain the probability distribution for each free parameter. The best model fit had a reduced-x2 value of 1.06 with a cor- responding P value of 0.39, and an example model fit to the WISE observations is shown in Extended Data Fig. 1. Unfortunately, the WISE data alone do not place unique constraints on the di- ameter, thermal inertia and surface roughness because of its limited phase angle and wavelength coverage. As shown in Extended Data Fig. 3, the best-fitting diam- eter increases with thermal inertia such that a unique constraint cannot be made. Fortunately, the radar observations had constrained (29075) 1950 DA’s diameter to be 1.3 km with a maximum error of 10% (ref. 8). Therefore, by allowing the diameter to vary between 1.17km and 1.43km only, we found that (29075)1950 DA’s thermal inertia value must be very low, that is, 24z20 {14 J m22 K21 s21/2 or #82 J m22 K21 s21/2 . This result is consistent with the preliminary upper bound of110J m22 K21 s21/2 determinedbyref.28using a simpler thermophysicalmodel thatneglectedrough-surfacethermal-infraredbeamingeffects.Inourwork,thesur- face roughness still remains unconstrained, but must be included for the Yarkovsky effect analysis described below. The probability distribution for the derived ther- mal inertia value is shown in Fig. 1. Analysis of Yarkovsky orbital drift. The bulk density of (29075) 1950 DA could be determined by model-to-measurement comparisons of its Yarkovsky semima- jor axis drift. The authors of ref. 12 were able to measure a transverse acceleration of(26.7061.29)310215 AU perdaysquaredactingon(29075) 1950DAinitsorbit byusingopticalastrometrydatingbackto1950andradarrangingdatatakenin2001 and 2012. This transverse acceleration corresponded to a rate of change in semi- majoraxisof(22.9560.57)31024 AU permillionyears(Myr)or244.168.5myr21 (ref. 29). Parameter studies using the ATPM have shown that the Yarkovsky effect is in general enhanced by rough-surface thermal-infrared beaming14 . For (29075) 1950 DA’s oblate shape, fast rotation period, and low thermal inertia, the potential enhancementwasratherlarge(see Extended DataFig. 4) and hadto be included to prevent underestimation of (29075) 1950 DA’s bulk density. The overall Yarkovsky drift acting on (29075) 1950 DA, da/dt(D,C,fR,r), for a bulk density r was deter- mined from da dt D,C,fR,rð Þ~ D0 D r0 r 1{fRð Þ da dt Cð ÞsmoothzfR da dt Cð Þroughz da dt Cð Þseasonal ! ð3Þ where da/dt(C)smooth is the smooth surface component, da/dt(C)rough is the rough surface component, and da/dt(C)seasonal is the seasonal component26 . Each com- ponent was evaluated separately at a specified initial diameter D0 and bulk density r0. A Yarkovsky effect prediction was produced for every test clone deemed ac- ceptable from the WISE flux-fitting described above. To produce the distribution of possible bulk densities, each prediction was compared against 500 samples of Yarkovskydriftthatwererandomlyselectedfromanormaldistributionwithamean andstandarddeviationof244.16 8.5 m yr21 .Thisensuredthattheuncertaintyon the measured Yarkovsky drift was taken into account. Extended Data Fig. 3 shows the derived bulk density as a function of thermal inertia for the range of acceptable test cloneswithout a thermal inertia constraint.Asindicated, tomatch the observed drift at the 1s level required the bulk density to be less than 2.7 g cm23 regardless of the thermal inertia value. Using the thermal inertia constraint, the bulk density was constrained to be 1.7 6 0.7 g cm23 and its probability distribution is shown in Fig. 1.

and, finally, the
effective gravitational slope h is given by h~ cos{1 gA= g0 j jð Þ ð6Þ To accurately measure the area of the asteroid’s surface experiencing negative ambient gravity each shape model facet was split into one hundred smaller sub- facets. The negative ambient gravity as a function of bulk density is shown in Fig. 2, and a three-dimensional plot of gravitational slope is shown in Fig. 3. The bond number for a particular regolith grain diameter in a specified degree of negative ambient gravity was then determined from equation (1). The minimum internal cohesive force required to prevent structural failure of (29075) 1950 DA was determined analytically from the Drucker–Prager failure criterion and a model of interior stresses within the asteroid4,6 .
