Evidence for YORP-induced Spin Deceleration in Asteroid (433) Eros
Theoretically, the Yarkovsky–O’Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack (YORP) effect induced by thermal reemission from asteroid surfaces can either accelerate or decelerate their rotation. However, in the past decade or so, 12 asteroids confirmed to exhibit the YORP effect all show spinning-up behavior, raising...
