Advancements in Catastrophic Disruption Science: Goals and Workshop Highlights

The Catastrophic Disruption Workshops aim to unite theorists, experimentalists, and observers to enhance our understanding of the physics of catastrophic disruption and its impact on the solar system. These workshops have fostered significant progress in scaling laws, modeling, and experimental validation. Highlights include the identification of asteroid families through spectra, the development of dynamical chronometry, and expanding computational capabilities. Participants have delved into the complexities of asteroid structures and the challenges posed by unresolved issues, paving the way for future breakthroughs in asteroid science.

  1. CATASTROPHIC DISRUPTION 2007CD Workshops: Why??

  2. SPECIFIC GOALS Cratering community had well developed scaling laws; extend to CD. Define needed experiments. Bring in meteoriticists, observers etc.

  3. CATASTROPHIC DISRUPTION WORKSHOPS:Goals and Accomplishments. “ Bring together theorists, experimentalists and observers to advance understanding of the physics of catastrophic disruption and its role in shaping our solar system.”

  4. PROGRESS TOWARD CD GOALS SCALING AND MODELING: Very active community now; good progress. EXPERIMENTS: Steady level of experiments; validation of scaling (Housen). Need tests for porous bodies. OBSERVERS ETC: Much broader range of participants.

  5. A FEW MEETING HIGHLIGHTS Using spectra to identify families (Bus, KB family). Dynamical chronometry (Bottke et al. Binary Stability States (Scheeres). Expanding power of computers and codes.

  6. A FEW MEETING HIGHLIGHTS The first confirmed rubble pile (Cheng et al, O’Brien). Diversity. Vast increase in data on binaries, physical properties. Asteroid tomography - **REALLY** learn about rubble pile. Power of Arecibo for asteroid studies

  7. EXPERIMENTS Interest in porous, layered and ice targets. BUT, a major purpose of lab experiments is to validate codes. We need to do a better job of measuring material needed by the hydrocodes.

  8. HYDROCODES AND SCALING LAWS Powerful tools for understanding collisional and dynamical processes. Caveat pointed out by Benz Comprehensive collisional outcome algorithm.

  9. ASTEROID SCIENCE Much progess in understanding relevant physics; eg, Yark, YORP. Vast increase in data, with the real deluge about to begin with Pan-STAARS. New paradigms for asteroid evolution.

  10. SO, WHAT WILL CD08 BRING? A million or more known asteroids. Colors for several hundred thousand asteroids. Spectra and light curves for many tens of thousands asteroids.

  11. SO, WHAT WILL CD08 BRING? Looking at asteroids by mass instead of numbers; we already have a variety of data on >95% of the mass of the asteroid belt. So, is adding data on a few more % going to provide breakthroughs?

  12. SO, WHAT WILL CD08 BRING? Really determine the size-frequency distribution of small asteroids. Expand number of families. See collisions in near “real time”.

  13. UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS The Vesta-Psyche dilemma. The “Great Dunite Shortage” and where are the iron parent bodies? Why are there no differentiated families? Does seismic shaking work on rubble piles?

  14. UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS (CONT’D) What is the distribution of asteroid structures for different sizes - competent, fractured, rubble piles? What is the strength-gravity transition size for different structures?

  15. "We know a lot less about asteroids than we did ten years ago." (But that means we will all keep busy for some time..) Thank you..

  16. Rate effect Damage Accumulation General melt effect Thermo effect Modulus degrades Damage Interpolation Failure plastic strain depends on pressure Holsapple SRGM Model" (2 parameter, mi, GSI)

  17. “ PROBLEMS WORTHY OF ATTACK, PROVE THEIR WORTH BY HITTING BACK”Piet Hein, Grooks
