Earth's Minimoons: Opportunities for Science and Technology
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018 Twelve years ago the Catalina Sky Survey discovered Earth's first known natural geocentric object other than the Moon, a few-meter diameter asteroid designated 2006 RH120. Despite significant improvements in ground-based telescope and detector technology

The Dynamics of NEO Binary Asteroids [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 AbstractThe 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 ...
