HEAT MODELS OF ASTEROIDS AND THE YORP EFFECT
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2014, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
The Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievski–Paddack (YORP) effect is a torque of light pressure recoil forces acting on an asteroid. We show how this torque can be expressed as an integral of a universal function over the surface of an asteroid, and discuss generalizations of this expression for the case of non-Lambert’s scattering laws, non-convex shapes of asteroids, and non-zero heat conductivity. Then we discuss tangential YORP (TYORP), which appears due to uneven heat conductivity in stones lying on the surface of an asteroid. TYORP manifests itself as a drag, which pulls the surface in the tangential direction. Finally, we discuss relation and interplay between the normal YORP and the tangential YORP.

THE SULPHUR ABUNDANCE BEHAVIOUR IN THE GALACTIC DISC STARS
The sulphur abundances in the atmospheres of the F-G-K-type dwarf stars that belong to the thin and thick disc populations (in the metallicity range – 1.0 < [Fe/H] < 0.3) were determined. The observations were conducted...
