A dynamical solution of the triple asteroid system (45) Eugenia

F Marchis, V Lainey, P Descamps, J Berthier… - Icarus, 2010 - Elsevier
We present the first dynamical solution of the triple asteroid system (45) Eugenia and its two
moons Petit–Prince (diameter∼ 7km) and S/2004 (45) 1 (diameter∼ 5km). The two moons …

Orbits, masses, and evolution of main belt triple (87) Sylvia

Multiple asteroid systems (45) Eugenia and (87) Sylvia: sensitivity to external and internal perturbations

L Beauvalet, F Marchis - Icarus, 2014 - Elsevier
Satellites of asteroids are a widely used way to determine the masses and other dynamical
parameters of their systems. We make such a determination here, using data from the two …

Free and forced inclinations of orbits perturbed by the central body's oblateness and an inclined third body
