Refimprove date June 2011 Asteroid capture can happen when an asteroid approaches a large planetary body . Typically asteroids that approach close enough to a planet are thrown out into space or impact the body. In rarer instances, the asteroid is captured in orbit around the planet ref http www.earthsky.org faq asteroids accretion ref . This is possible with any planetary body given the right conditions. Detailed explanation Asteroid capture happens when an asteroid has enough velocity to keep missing the planet it is falling towards but not enough velocity to escape orbit, in other words, when it reaches a stable orbit around it. Asteroids have natural properties that may lend themselves to be captured. The properties of an asteroid that are most significant to this process are its mass and relative velocity to the planet in question. The mass of the planet is also a key variable, as is the trajectory of the asteroid. An asteroid with too much velocity will pass by the planet with a hyperbolic orbit , shooting it out into space. Asteroids that do not have enough velocity will fall into the planet ... velocity which changes with distance will result in either capture or impact. Asteroid capture by Earth The earth moon system creates a particularly unstable situation whereby the orbit of the asteroid ... to keep an asteroid in orbit above the earth. Effecting capture Spontaneous capture relates to a method whereby an asteroid s velocity is not changed and it is captured by the planet. fact date April 2012 Aerocapture relates to a method of slowing down an object, which could theoretically be an asteroid.

The Aten asteroids are a group of Near earth asteroids Near Earth asteroids near Earth asteroids , named after the first of the group to be discovered 2062 Aten , discovered January 7, 1976, by Eleanor F. Helin . They are defined by having semi major axis semi major axes of less than one astronomical unit the distance from the Earth to the Sun . Note that, because asteroids orbits can be highly eccentric, an Aten orbit need not be entirely contained within Earth s orbit in fact, nearly all known Aten asteroids have their aphelion greater than one astronomical unit AU , due to observational difficulties. Asteroids that have their aphelion entirely within the Earth s orbit are known as Apohele asteroid s, or alternatively as Inner Earth Objects IEOs or Atira asteroids. Apoheles are traditionally treated as a subclass of Atens, ref name MPC Aten cite web url http www.minorplanetcenter.org iau lists Atensq.html title List Of Aten Minor Planets publisher Minor Planet Center date 2010 02 12 accessdate 2010 10 25 ref but sometimes are separated. ref name MPC neo stats As of June 2010, there are only ten known Apoheles, and 568 more known Aten asteroids. ref name MPC neo stats cite web url http neo.jpl.nasa.gov stats title NEO Discovery Statistics publisher Minor Planet Center date 2010 06 02 accessdate 2010 06 05 ref The smallest aphelion is that of mp 2008 EB 26 , at 0.804 AU.

A binary asteroid is a system of two asteroid s orbiting their common center of mass , in analogy with binary star s. 243 Ida was the first binary asteroid to be identified when the Galileo spacecraft Galileo spacecraft did a flyby in 1993. Since then numerous binary asteroids have been detected. When both binary asteroids are similar in size, they are sometimes called binary companions , ref name IAU list cite web date 2009 09 17 title Satellites and Companions of Minor Planets publisher IAU Minor Planet Center url http www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu minorsats.html accessdate 2011 01 08 ref double asteroids or doublet asteroids . A good example of true binary companions is the 90 Antiope system. Binary asteroids with a small satellite, called a moonlet , have been more commonly observed see 22 Kalliope , 45 Eugenia , 87 Sylvia , 107 Camilla , 121 Hermione , 130 Elektra , 243 Ida , 283 Emma , 379 Huenna , etc. . ref name IAU list They are also called high size ratio binary asteroid systems. Paired impact crater s, such as the Clearwater Lakes in Canada , may have been formed by binary asteroids. Several theories have been posited to explain the formation of binary asteroid systems. Recent work suggests that most of them have a significant macro porosity a rubble pile interior . The satellite orbiting around large main belt asteroids such as 22 Kalliope, 45 Eugenia or 87 Sylvia could have formed by disruption of a parent body after impact or fission after an oblique impact. Trans Neptunian binaries may have formed during the formation of the Solar System by mutual capture or three ...

This process also exposes fresh material at the poles of the asteroid. ref cite journal ...
