In understanding the composition and internal structure of asteroids, their density is perhaps the most diagnostic qua ntity. We aim here to characterize the surface composition, mutual orbit , size,…

The large main-belt asteroid (216) Kleopatra has been for long suspected to be a binary object, mainly due to its large lightcurve amplitude. However, recent observations suggest that it is a single…

TLDR
The unambiguous detection of a triple asteroidal system in the main belt, composed of a 280-km primary (87 Sylvia) and two small moonlets orbiting at 710 and 1,360 km, which was most probably formed through the disruptive collision of a parent asteroid.
Binary Asteroids and the Formation of Doublet Craters
Abstract At least 10% (3 out of 28) of the largest known impact craters on Earth and a similar fraction of all impact structures on Venus are doublets (i.e., have a companion crater nearby), formed…
