A dynamical dichotomy in large binary asteroids
K. Minker, B. Carry, F. Vachier +20
No less than 15% of large (diameter greater than 140 km) asteroids have satellites. The commonly accepted mechanism for their formation is post-impact reaccumulation. However, the…
Orbits of very distant asteroid satellites
K. Minker, B. Carry, F. Vachier +36
The very wide binary asteroid (VWBA) population is a small subset of the population of known binary and multiple asteroids made of systems with very widely orbiting satellites and…
Investigating the formation of small Solar System objects using stellar occultations by satellites: present, future and its use to update satellite orbits
Felipe Braga-Ribas, Frederic Vachier, Josselin Desmars +2
The history of the outer solar system is intrinsically related to the Giant Planets migration. A massive disk of material within a radius of 30~au was scattered during the planetar…
