Dynamics of rotationally fissioned asteroids: Source of observed small asteroid systems (2011, methodology): “A “rubble pile” will have a specific set of local minimum energy configurations that the coherent components will settle into (Scheeres, 2009b).”
Scaling forces to asteroid surfaces: The role of cohesion (2010, background): “The details of this process are likely more complex, as the relative size of the two components strongly controls the subsequent evolution of these systems [58] and can even lead to systems that remain “stuck” in a contact binary cycle for long periods of time [55].”
