    The authors report that the spin vectors of NEAs show a strong and statistically significant excess of retrograde rotations, quantitatively consistent with the theoretical expactations of the Yarkovsky model.

    Autoři hlásí, že rotační vektory NEAs ukazují na silný a statisticky významný nadbytek retrográdních rotací, což je v souladu s teoretickými očekáváními z Jarkovského modelu.
