The effect of planetary flybys on singly synchronous binary asteroids
2021, IcarusCitation Excerpt :In addition to the change in eccentricity, Collins et al. (2008) also derived the change in inclination. The change in energy of a perturbed binary system is studied by Farinella and Chauvineau (1993) and again in Chauvineua et al. (1995). Fang and Margot (2011) combined all these results and compared them to numerical simulations at a variety of encounter geometries.

2012, Planetary and Space ScienceCitation Excerpt :The phenomenon of tidal interactions was widely discussed in different models over last 160 years. Last decade of the XX century brought important papers which extensively explored the problem of tidal effects in a vicinity of planets (Chauvineau and Farinella, 1995; Bottke et al., 1999). Studies of small bodies dynamics in such region are usually made using the most complex physical body models which are able to give output in reasonable time scales.
Binary asteroid systems: Tidal end states and estimates of material properties
2011, IcarusCitation Excerpt :Clearly, further research on the dynamical evolution of binary asteroid systems due to BYORP is required. In addition to BYORP, mass lofting could continuously expand the orbit (Harris et al., 2009; Fahnestock and Scheeres, 2009) while a close planetary encounter could impulsively expand the orbit and provide a moderate eccentricity (Chauvineau et al., 1995; Scheeres, 2007b). The short timescale for YORP spin-up could prevent some secondaries from synchronizing and may also be important in keeping the primary rotation rapid, hence fueling orbit expansion via mass lofting.
Near-Earth Asteroid 2005 CR37: Radar images and photometry of a candidate contact binary
2006, IcarusCitation Excerpt :How did the shape of 2005 CR37 originate? Mechanisms thought capable of forming contact binaries include low-velocity collisions (Farinella, 1992; Hudson and Ostro, 1995; Chauvineau et al., 1995; Bottke and Melosh, 1996a, 1996b; Leinhardt et al., 2000), perhaps between components of true binaries, and spinup and shape distortion of gravitationally-bound agglomerates via either very close encounters with Earth and Venus (Asphaug and Benz, 1996; Richardson et al., 1998) or asymmetric solar absorption and re-emission (YORP; Bottke et al., 2002). Other explanations, such as a sequence of impacts that sculpted the object into its present shape, or an origin as an impact shard from catastrophic disruption of a larger progenitor, seem more contrived.
