2015 HB287 and 434936

Peter VanWylen noticed that these two asteroids stay very close to each other in the sky for many decades. He wondered whether they have  a common (recent) origin or it is a coincidence.

I run a Mercury6 simulation (output every 1 days) based on nominal parameters, while this is not a proof I think that the idea of a common origin should not be disregarded.
