FAST ROTATION AND TRAILING FRAGMENTS OF THE ACTIVE ASTEROID P/2012 F5 (GIBBS)
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2015 While having a comet-like appearance, P/2012 F5 (Gibbs) has an orbit native to the Main Asteroid Belt, and physically is a km-sized asteroid which recently (mid 2011) experienced an impulsive mass ejection event.

Physical Properties of the Young Asteroid Pair 2010 UM26 and 2010 RN221
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The main belt asteroids 458271 (2010 UM26) and 2010 RN221 share almost identical orbital elements, and currently appear as comoving objects ∼30″ apart in the plane of the sky.

ROTATIONAL PROPERTIES OF THE MARIA ASTEROID FAMILY [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2014 Maria family is regarded as an old-type (~3 +/- 1 Gyr) asteroid family which has experienced substantial collisional and dynamical evolution in the Main-belt. It is located nearby the 3:1 Jupter mean motion resonance area that supplies Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) to the inner Solar System.

On the secondary’s rotation in a synchronous binary asteroid [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT This article studies the secondary’s rotation in a synchronous binary asteroid system in which the secondary enters the 1:1 spin-orbit resonance. The model used is the planar full two-body problem, composed of a spherical primary plus a triaxial ellipsoid secondary.

Thermophysical Investigation of Asteroid Surfaces. II. Factors Influencing Grain Size
The Planetary Science Journal, 2022 Asteroid surfaces are subjected to mechanical weathering processes that result in the development and evolution of regolith. Two proposed mechanisms—impact bombardment and thermal fatigue—have been proposed as viable and dominant weathering processes ...
