The Challenge of Measuring Asteroid Masses with Gaia DR2 Astrometry
The Gaia second data release (DR2) contains high-accuracy astrometric measurements of thousands of solar system bodies. These measurements raise the possibility of determining asteroid masses by modeling scattering events between massive objects observed by Gaia. In this paper, we identify promising...
