The Dynamics of NEO Binary Asteroids
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2006
Abstract
The dynamics of binary Near-Earth objects (NEO) are discussed and a simple model for the study of their dynamics is introduced. Main results on the motion and stability of binary asteroids are reviewed. The effect of perturbations external to the binary system, including solar gravity, solar radiation pressure, and planetary gravity, are considered.
