ContextModels已经表明,如果小行星的自转速率稳步增加,它们可能会发生裂变。将小行星拉开的力超过了将小行星固定在一起的物质强度和引力,物质可以从小行星表面逃逸。最初形成一个双小行星系统,如果它们的质量比小于0.2,则它们能够以较低的相对速度从它们的共同轨道中解耦。一些轨道要素非常相似的小行星最近(<100万年)在小于较大小行星希尔球半径的距离上遭遇过。每对小行星的质量比估计小于0.2,这表明这些未结合的小行星对是旋转裂变的结果。目的我们确定是否在这样一个未结合的小行星对,(7343)Ockeghem和(154 634)2003 XX 28,共享一个共同的组成,的小行星形成的一个共同的父母和进一步限制可能的形成年龄为这对。MethodsWe已经获得了光谱观测的每个小行星覆盖的波长范围为0.45至1.0微米。利用热观测,我们测量了(7343)Ockeghem的大小和半径。结合这两个小行星的光学光变曲线数据,我们限制了小行星的大小和密度,并估计了两者所经历的Yarkovsky力的强度。这种改进的物理信息已被用于新的动力学模拟的小行星的轨道,以更好地约束这对的形成时间。ResultsWe发现,小行星有非常相似的光谱符合S-型分类。(7343)Ockeghem的几何常数为0.20 ± 0.06,与此分类一致。假设小行星的密度相等,其质量比范围为0.007至0.065,与未结合小行星对形成的模型一致。一项新的动力学分析表明,这对恒星的绝对年龄下限为40万年,更可能的年龄为56万年左右,低于先前估计的80万年。
ContextModels have shown that asteroids can undergo fission if their rate of rotation is steadily increased. The forces acting to pull the asteroid apart exceed the material strength and gravitational force holding the asteroid together and material can escape from the surface of the asteroid. Initially forming a binary asteroid system, the components are capable of decoupling at low relative velocity from their mutual orbit if their mass ratio is less than 0.2. A number of asteroids with very similar orbital elements have been shown to have had very recent (<1 Myr) encounters at distances smaller than the Hill sphere radius of the larger of the asteroids. The mass ratio of the asteroids in each pair is estimated to be less than 0.2, suggesting that these unbound pairs are the result of rotational fission.AimsWe determine whether the asteroids in one such unbound pair, (7343) Ockeghem and (154 634) 2003 XX28, share a common composition, indicative of asteroids formed from a common parent and further constrain a likely formation age for this pair.MethodsWe have obtained spectroscopic observations of each asteroid covering the wavelength range 0.45 to 1.0 microns. Using thermal observations we have measured the size and albedo of (7343) Ockeghem. Combined with optical lightcurve data of both asteroids, we have constrained the size and density of the asteroids and estimated the strength of the Yarkovsky force experienced by both. This improved physical information has been used in new dynamical simulations of the asteroids’ orbits to better constrain a formation time of this pair.ResultsWe find that the asteroids have very similar spectra consistent with an S-type taxonomy. The geometric albedo of (7343) Ockeghem, 0.20  ±  0.06 is consistent with this classification. The mass ratio range of the asteroids assuming an equal density, 0.007 to 0.065, is consistent with models of unbound asteroid pair formation. A new dynamical analysis has indicated that an absolute lower limit for the age of this pair is 400 kyr with a more likely age around 560 kyr, lower than a previous estimate of 800 kyr.
