The accuracy of mutual potential approximations in simulations of binary asteroids

Open Access

Table 1

Parameters used for the three models chosen for the tests in Sect. 3.2.

Model	a_p/b_p	a_p/c_p	q
Model 1	1.000	1.067	0.012
Model 2	1.231	2.000	0.028
Model 3	1.455	4.000	0.065

Notes. The second and third columns show the axis ratios of the primary, while the fourth column shows the mass ratio, q = m_s/m_p, of the system. Model 1 is a spheroid, and Models 2 and 3 are elongated ellipsoids. The long semiaxis of the primary is fixed at a_p = 400 m.
