The Eccentric Kozai-Lidov Effect and Its Applications (2016, background): “Observations suggests that Near Earth asteroid binaries are common (about 15% rNEA > 300m (Pravec et al. 2006; Margot et al. 2015) and perhaps as high as 63%, for a larger range of sizes (Polishook and Brosch 2006)).”
Binary asteroid population 1. Angular momentum content (2007, background): “than the gravity spin limit; see Holsapple, 2006, and Pravec et al., 2006b. formula ωc(90 ◦) = √ 2πρG w3/2 √ (w2 − 1) [ 2w + ln ( 1 − w 1 + w )] , (19) where w ≡ √ 1 − (b/a)2.”
Dynamics of rotationally fissioned asteroids: Source of observed small asteroid systems (2011, background): “0.2, a system semi-major axis of 1.5 to 3 primary diameters, and a possibly elongated secondary and a nearly spherical primary with a distinctive shape characterized by an equatorial bulge (Pravec et al., 2006; Pravec and Harris, 2007).”
Spin-up of rubble-pile asteroids: Disruption, satellite formation, and equilibrium shapes (2012, neutral): “8 h), are such binaries (Pravec et al., 2006).”
Density of asteroids (2012, background): “Yet, a large fraction of the currently known binaries are small-sized systems discovered by studying their lightcurves (86 out of 207, e.g. , Mottola and Lahulla (2000); Pravec et al. (2002, 2006)).”
Scaling forces to asteroid surfaces: The role of cohesion (2010, result): “One item of significance is that the KW4 system is very similar to the majority of NEA binaries that have been observed [42].”
PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM NEOWISE: AN ENHANCEMENT TO THE WIDE-FIELD INFRARED SURVEY EXPLORER FOR SOLAR SYSTEM SCIENCE (2011, background): “This makes the WISE dataset unique in comparison with ground-based lightcurve surveys that are generally limited to studying rotational periods faster than ∼1 day (Masiero et al. 2009; Pravec et al. 2008, 2006).”
Rubble Pile Asteroids (2018, background): “…2006), they were not great matches for these properties and lightcurve surveys found that a population similar to the near-Earth asteroids existed in the Main Asteroid Belt - far from any planet that was capable of tidally disrupting any asteroid (Walsh & Richardson 2008, Pravec et al. 2006).”
