An Earth Encounter as the Cause of Chaotic Dynamics in Binary Asteroid (35107) 1991VH

The Planetary Science Journal
Among binary asteroids, (35107) 1991VH stands out as unique given the likely chaotic rotation within its secondary component. The source of this excited dynamical state is unknown. In this work, we demonstrate that a past close encounter with Earth could
