Components of the radiative accelerations acting on a ra = 2 μm particle at the height of H = 1 cm on the equator of D = 1 km model asteroid as a function of longitude (local time), for a) olivine; b) magnetite. The black horizontal lines show the gravity (dashed) and the effective gravity taking the centrifugal acceleration into account (solid). The absolute value of
is used as it is negative. Both a⊙ and aref turn off almost immediately after Sunset, which causes the spiky feature of
at longitude of 270°. ather persists throughout the night thanks to nonzero thermal inertia.
