Spin–Orbit Coupling of the Ellipsoidal Secondary in a Binary Asteroid System

The Astronomical Journal
In our solar system, spin–orbit coupling is a common phenomenon in binary asteroid systems, where the mutual orbits are no longer invariant due to exchange of angular momentum between translation and rotation.

Beyond Point Masses. II. Non-Keplerian Shape Effects Are Detectable in Several TNO Binaries

The Astronomical Journal
About 40 trans-Neptunian binaries (TNBs) have fully determined orbits with about 10 others being solved except for breaking the mirror ambiguity. Despite decades of study, almost all TNBs have only ever been analyzed with a model that assumes perfect ...
