Peculiar Orbital Characteristics of Earth Quasi-Satellite 469219 Kamo‘oalewa: Implications for the Yarkovsky Detection and Orbital Uncertainty Propagation
469219 Kamo‘oalewa is selected as one of the primary targets of Tianwen-2 mission, which is currently believed to be the most stable quasi-satellite of Earth. Here we derive a weak detection of the Yarkovsky effect for Kamo‘oalewa, giving A _2 = (−1.075 ± 0.447) × 10 ^−13 au day ^−2 , with the avail...
