    Context. We report the exploitation of a sample of Solar System observations based on data from the third Gaia Data Release (Gaia DR3) of nearly 157 000 asteroids. It extends the epoch astrometric solution over the time coverage planned for the Gaia DR4, which is not expected before the end of 2025. This data set covers more than one full orbital period for the vast majority of these asteroids. The orbital solutions are derived from the Gaia data alone over a relatively short arc compared to the observation history of many of these asteroids. Aims. The work aims to produce orbital elements for a large set of asteroids based on 66 months of accurate astrometry provided by Gaia and to assess the accuracy of these orbital solutions with a comparison to the best available orbits derived from independent observations. A second validation is performed with accurate occultation timings. Methods. We processed the raw astrometric measurements of Gaia to obtain astrometric positions of moving objects with 1D sub-mas accuracy at the bright end. For each asteroid that we matched to the data, an orbit fitting was attempted in the form of the best fit of the initial conditions at the median epoch. The force model included Newtonian and relativistic accelerations to derive the observation equations, which were solved with a linear least-squares fit. Results. Orbits are provided in the form of state vectors in the International Celestial Reference Frame for 156 764 asteroids, including near-Earth objects, main-belt asteroids, and Trojans. For the asteroids with the best observations, the (formal) relative uncertainty σa/a is better than 10-10. Results are compared to orbits available from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and MPC. Their orbits are based on much longer data arcs, but from positions of lower quality. The relative differences in semi-major axes have a mean of 5 × 10-10 and a scatter of 5 × 10-9 © The Authors 2023.

    KRATOS: A large suite of N -body simulations to interpret the stellar kinematics of LMC-like discs
    (EDP Sciences, 2024-08) Jiménez-Arranz O.; Roca-Fàbrega S.; Romero-Gómez M; Luri X.; Bernet M.; McMillan P.J.; Chemin L.
    Context. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) are the brightest satellites of the Milky Way (MW), and for the last thousand million years they have been interacting with one another. As observations only provide a static picture of the entire process, numerical simulations are used to interpret the present-day observational properties of these kinds of systems, and most of them have been focused on attempting to recreate the neutral gas distribution and characteristics through hydrodynamical simulations. Aims. We present KRATOS, a comprehensive suite of 28 open-access pure N-body simulations of isolated and interacting LMC-like galaxies designed for studying the formation of substructures in their discs after interaction with an SMC-mass galaxy. The primary objective of this paper is to provide theoretical models that help us to interpret the formation of general structures in an LMC-like galaxy under various tidal interaction scenarios. This is the first paper of a series dedicated to the analysis of this complex interaction. Methods. Simulations are grouped into 11 sets of up to three configurations, with each set containing (1) a control model of an isolated LMC-like galaxy; (2) a model that contains the interaction with an SMC-mass galaxy, and (3) a model where both an SMC-mass and a MW-mass galaxy may interact with the LMC-like galaxy (the most realistic model). In each simulation, we analysed the orbital history between the three galaxies and examined the morphological and kinematic features of the LMC-like disc galaxy throughout the interaction. This includes investigating the disc scale height and velocity maps. When a bar was found to develop, we characterised its strength, length, off-centredness, and pattern speed. Results. The diverse outcomes found in the KRATOS simulations, including the presence of bars, warped discs, and various spiral arm shapes, demonstrate the opportunities they offer to explore a range of LMC-like galaxy morphologies. These morphologies directly correspond to distinct disc kinematic maps, making them well-suited for a first-order interpretation of the LMC's kinematic maps. From the simulations, we note that tidal interactions can: boost the disc scale height; both destroy and create bars; and naturally explain the off-centre stellar bars. The bar length and pattern speed of long-lived bars are not appreciably altered by the interaction. Conclusions. The high spatial, temporal, and mass resolution used in the KRATOS simulations has been shown to be appropriate for the purpose of interpreting the internal kinematics of LMC-like discs, as evidenced by the first scientific results presented in this work.
