Potentially interesting couple:

Backward simulation performed with Mercury6 ``A Hybrid Symplectic Integrator that Permits Close Encounters between Massive Bodies''....

 Backward simulation with Mercury6 (integrator BS, output every 100 days)

 Backward simulation based on nominal orbital parameters (Mercury6 simulator, BS integrator, output every 100 days):

 Potentially interesting couple (common orgin?)

This is a potentially interesting couple (future studies may confirm if these two asteroids separated from a common body or not). Clones Gen...
