Collisional formation of top-shaped asteroids and implications for the origins of Ryugu and Bennu

Michel, Patrick Ballouz, R.-L. Barnouin, Olivier

Asteroid shapes and hydration levels can serve as tracers of their history and origin. For instance, the asteroids (162173) Ryugu and (101955) Bennu have an oblate spheroidal shape with a pronounced equator, but contain different surface hydration levels. Here we show, through numerical simulations of large asteroid disruptions, that oblate...
