Hektor: Nature and origin of a binary asteroid

Abstract An elongated single body which reproduces the rotational lightcurve of 624 Hektor is unstable with respect to binary fission. A contact binary model with ellipsoidal components of equilibrium shape matches the observed amplitude. Hektor's bulk density is inferred to be ⋍2.5 g cm −3 .
