Abstract:Dynamical evolution of paired asteroids sharing close orbits was investigated. Candidates were chosen from AstDyS database by Kholshevnikov metric value. Only 33 of 105 pairs with close orbits were associated as family members. Further orbit evolution modeling was performed by Orbit9 software. Each pair had 49 overall model scenarios due to different Yarkovsky drift values for semimajor axis. Close encounters between paired objects providing time estimations and feasible mechanisms of formation were evaluated.… Show more
