Bennu and Castalia

Bennu

  • The exterior gravitational field of Bennu, a target of the OSIRIS-REx mission, in spheroidal/spherical harmonics
  • The exterior gravitational field of Castalia in prolate spheroidal harmonics
  • Both small bodies with the associated gravity signal (potential, partial and cartesian derivatives up to the second order).
  • Based on constant-density assumption and the topography model, more in Sebera et al. (2016)

Notes:
Harmonic models are provided in the ASCII "gfc" format, which is the convention for the Earth's gravitational field models, see ICGEM for more details.
