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.…
