双卫一近地天体双生星的一颗卫星。它的直径为170米(560英尺),与罗马斗兽场相当,重约480万吨。它与双生星中心相距约1190米[7]。2003年,有人在翁德热约夫天文台发现了双卫一。2020年6月,国际天文联会将这颗小行星卫星命名为双卫一[8]。2022年9月,美国国家航空航天局在开展双小行星改道测试时将双卫一列为撞击目标,并故意让一个航天器撞向双卫一,目的是改变双卫一的轨迹[9]

备注

  1. ^ Astronomers involved in the discovery of Dimorphos include Petr Pravec英语Petr Pravec, L.A.M. Benner, M.C. Nolan, P. Kusnirak, D. Pray, J.D. Giorgini, R.F. Jurgens, 史蒂文·J·奥斯特罗, J.-L. Margot, C. Magri, A. Grauer, and S. Larson. The discovery used lightcurve and radar observations from the 喷气推进实验室, Pasadena, 加利福尼亚州; 阿雷西博天文台, Arecibo, 波多黎各; and 翁德热约夫天文台, Ondřejov, 捷克. [1]
  2. ^ Orbital parameters are those after the impact of DART, which changed the 轨道周期 by 32 minutes. Other possibly changed parameters remain to be reevaluated.[3]
  3. ^ Scheirich and Pravec (2022) give the Dimorphos's orbit pole orientation in terms of 黄道坐标系, where λ is 黄道坐标系 and β is 黄道坐标系.[4](p. 4) β is the angular offset from the 黄道, whereas 轨道倾角 i with respect to the ecliptic is the angular offset of the 黄极 from the 黄极, at β = +90° ; i with respect to the ecliptic would be the of β.[5] Therefore, given β = –78.6° , i = 90° – (–78.6°) = 168.6° from the ecliptic.
