Dark Comets? Unexpectedly Large Nongravitational Accelerations on a Sample of Small Asteroids

We report statistically significant detections of nonradial, nongravitational accelerations based on astrometric data in the photometrically inactive objects 1998 KY _26 , 2005 VL _1 , 2016 NJ _33 , 2010 VL _65 , 2016 RH _120 , and 2010 RF _12 . The magnitudes of the nongravitational accelerations a...
