Title: The angular momentum of the asteroids
Authors: Sivaram, C
Keywords: Angular Momentum
Asteroids
Planetary Rotation
Angular Velocity
Fragmentation
Planetary Mass
Issue Date: Mar-1986
Publisher: Springer
Citation: Earth, Moon, and Planets, Vol. 34, No. 3, pp. 231 - 233
Abstract: Consideration of the basic physics involved in the structure of the object are used to obtain relationships for the radius, period, angular momentum, etc. of a typical asteroid. The mass-angular momentum relation for asteroids would tend to favour the fragmentation hypothesis.
