摘要:

我们在SPHERE/VLT获得的多个时期的差分成像和积分场光谱数据中发现了小行星(130)Elektra的新卫星- S/2014(130)1。这颗新的(第二颗)小卫星直径约2公里,位于偏心轨道上,距离主卫星约500公里。为了进行比较研究,我们还观测了另一个三重小行星系统(93)Minerva。对于这两个系统,组件分辨的反射光谱的卫星和主要的同时获得。对于任一三重系统,在卫星和主卫星之间没有观察到显著的光谱差异。我们发现,这两个系统中的小卫星更有可能是由亚破坏性的影响,而不是被捕获。

英文摘要:

We present the discovery of a new satellite of asteroid (130) Elektra - S/2014 (130) 1 - in differential imaging and in integral field spectroscopy data over multiple epochs obtained with SPHERE/VLT. This new (second) moonlet of Elektra is about 2 km across, on an eccentric orbit and about 500 km away from the primary. For a comparative study, we also observed another triple asteroid system (93) Minerva. For both systems, component-resolved reflectance spectra of the satellites and primary were obtained simultaneously. No significant spectral difference was observed between the satellites and the primary for either triple system. We find that the moonlets in both systems are more likely to have been created by sub-disruptive impacts as opposed to having been captured.
