Torque Γ over angular momentum L (in y−1 units) for the tidal (black), strong radiative (red), and weak radiative torques (orange). Relevant radial distances r are indicated (vertical dotted lines): the maximum radius R1 of the primary, Roche radius , last stable orbit rlso, semimajor axes a1, a2 of the moons, half of rH, and the Hill radius
. The corotation orbit does not exist. For (216) Kleopatra, tidal and radiative torques |Γ| become comparable at r = 1500–2000 km.
