Something Old, Something New: Three Binary Discoveries from the Palmer Divide Observatory
Abstract
Analysis of new CCD photometric observations in early 2013 of the Vestoid asteroid 4383 Suruga and Hungaria asteroid (53432) 1999 UT55 showed that the two are binary systems. A review of data from 2005 for the Hungaria asteroid 4440 Tchantches indicates that the original analysis probably overlooked a satellite.
