Analytical theory of the spin-orbit state of a binary asteroid deflected by a kinetic impactor
Michalis Gaitanas, Christos Efthymiopoulos, Ioannis Gkolias +2
We study the perturbed-from-synchronous librational state of a double asteroid, modeled by the Full Two Rigid Body Problem (F2RBP), with primary emphasis on deriving analytical for…

An Earth Encounter As the Cause of Chaotic Dynamics in Binary Asteroid (35107) 1991VH
Alex J Meyer, Oscar Fuentes-Muñoz, Ioannis Gkolias +4
Among binary asteroids, (35107) 1991VH stands out as unique given the likely chaotic rotation within its secondary component. The source of this excited dynamical state is unknown.…
