Constraints on fifth forces and ultralight dark matter from OSIRIS-REx target asteroid Bennu

Y. Tsai, D. Farnocchia, et al.

This research conducted by Yu-Dai Tsai, Davide Farnocchia, Marco Micheli, Sunny Vagnozzi, and Luca Visinelli explores the intriguing possibility of fifth forces using data from the OSIRIS-REx mission and tracking the asteroid Bennu. The study provides strong constraints on these forces, particularly for specific mediator masses, while suggesting innovative models that challenge our understanding of the Standard Model and dark matter.

Abstract
This paper investigates the potential existence of fifth forces by analyzing data from the OSIRIS-REx mission and ground-based tracking of the asteroid Bennu. The study derives constraints on fifth forces, particularly strong for mediator masses around (10<sup>-18</sup>-10<sup>-17</sup>) eV, translating these to models involving U(1) dark photons and baryon-coupled scalars. The findings highlight the potential of asteroid tracking in probing extensions of the Standard Model and ultralight bosons near the fuzzy dark matter range.
