Abstract :
Yarkovsky effect is a recoil force arising from
the anisotropic thermal re-emission of absorbed solar
radiation. This recoil force causes wide orbital change
making it hard for the scientists to predict the orbit of
potentially hazardous asteroids and their long term risk
to the Earth.
Developing mathematics in order to calculate Yarkovsky
effect in an efficient and simple way without getting into
higher level astronomy, mathematics and physics is our
main purpose. We have tried to give the insights about
Yarkovsky effect and mathematics behind it using the
simple concepts of Stefan Boltzmann law and Yarkovsky
effect in a way so that even a high school student,
amateur astronomers know about Yarkovsky effect and
how it can be measured.
