The research proposal aims to use machine learning, including large language models, to analyze large datasets of smaller bodies in the Solar System, coming from the upcoming "Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time" (LSST). The research will focus on three main areas: main-belt asteroids in resonances, asteroids co-orbital with terrestrial planets (with an emphasis on Venus, wh…
Asteroid families are groups of objects that have similar orbits. They can be produced as the result of a collision between a projectile andthe family parent body (collisional families), or because of the fission of a secondary body or of a low-energy impact on a rapidly rotating primary(fission clusters). Collisional families tend to be more dispersed in semi-major axis and they are usua…
Asteroid families form as a result of large-scale collisions among main belt asteroids. The orbital distribution of fragments after a family-forming impact could inform us about their ejection velocities. Unfortunately, however, orbits dynamically evolve by a number of effects, including the Yarkovsky drift, chaotic diffusion, and gravitational encounters with massive asteroids, such tha…

Secular resonances play an important role in the dynamics of small bodies, changing the eccentricity and inclination of the objects of the Solar System. They occur when there is a commensurability between the frequency of precession of an asteroid perihelion, g, or node, s, and the frequency of a planet, like for the case of the ½6 = g-g6 resonance with Saturn. Non-linear secular resonanc…
Carruba et al. (2013a) studied the long-term effect of close encounters with massive asteroids for asteroids in the orbital region of the Hygiea, Euphrosyne, and Pallas families. Since changes in heliocentric velocities that cause changes in proper elements are a function of the minimal velocity and distance at the encounter, it was shown analytically and numerically that the robustness …
Among the largest asteroids in the main belt, asteroid 4 Vesta is unique in showing a basaltic crust. It is also the biggest member of the Vesta family, which is supposed to originate from a large cratering event about 1 Gyr ago (Marzari et al. 1996, Carruba et al. 2005). Most of the members of the Vesta family for which a spectral classification is available show a V-type spectra. Due to…
The current structure of the Solar System was deeply shaped by the effects of planetary migration. The most recent models of planetary migration suggest that the current orbital distribution of asteroids, and in particular the low ratio between highly and low inclined population could be better explained in the ``Jumping-Jupiter'' scenario, in which both Jupiter and Saturn have close enco…
