Orbital Dynamics of Kuiper Belt Object Satellites, a Kuiper Belt Family, and Extra-Solar Planet Interiors
... To describe the wide range of binaries, two general classes of binary formation mechanisms have been proposed, which we call the collision and capture mechanisms. Small satellites of large KBOs appear to be formed by ...
