Irregular satellites of Jupiter: capture configurations of binary-asteroids [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2011 The origins of irregular satellites of the giant planets are an important piece of the giant "puzzle" that is the theory of Solar System formation. It is well established that they are not "in situ" formation objects, around the planet, as are believed to be the regular ones.

Instability zones for satellites of asteroids: The example of the (87) Sylvia system [PDF]
Icarus, 2012 We study the stability of the (87) Sylvia system and of the neighborhood of its two satellites. We use numerical integrations considering the non-sphericity of Sylvia, as well as the mutual perturbation of the satellites and the solar perturbation. Two numerical models have been used, which describe respectively the short and long-term evolution of the

Asteroid satellite ephemeride service. Mutual occultations and eclipses
Icarus, 2020 Abstract A tool has been developed for computing the ephemerides of asteroid satellites, which are needed to plan and verify new observations, as well as for space missions. The proposed ephemeris server is available online at http://www.sai.msu.ru/neb/nss/html/multisat/nssAsthe.htm and http://nsdb.imcce.fr/multisat/nssAsthe.htm .

Sizes, Shapes, and Satellites of Asteroids from Occultations [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015 AbstractFor 40 years, the sizes and shapes of many dozens of asteroids have been determined from observations of asteroidal occultations, and over a thousand high-precision positions of the asteroids relative to stars have been measured. Some of the first evidence for satellites of asteroids was obtained from the early efforts; now, the orbits and ...

First observation of a quadruple asteroid. Detection of a third moon around (130) Elektra with SPHERE/IFS [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Aims. We aim to increase the contrast limits to detect new satellites orbiting known asteroids. We use cutting-edge data reduction techniques and data processing algorithms that are essential to best analyse the raw data provided by the instruments and ...

The Moon at thermal infrared wavelengths: a benchmark for asteroid thermal models [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 Thermal-infrared measurements of asteroids, satellites, and distant minor bodies are crucial for deriving the objects’ sizes, albedos, and in some cases, also the thermophysical properties of the surface material.

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.
