双卫一近地天体雙生星的一颗衛星。它的直径为170米(560英尺),與罗马斗兽场相當,重约480万吨。它与雙生星中心相距约1190米[7]。2003年,有人在翁德热约夫天文台發現了双卫一。2020年6月,國際天文聯會將這顆小行星衛星命名為雙衛一[8]。2022年9月,美国国家航空航天局在開展雙小行星改道測試時將雙衛一列為撞擊目標,並故意讓一個航天器撞向双卫一,目的是改變双卫一的軌跡[9]

備註

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 黃道坐標系, where λ is 黃道坐標系 and β is 黃道坐標系.[4](p. 4) β is the angular offset from the 黄道, whereas 軌道傾角 i with respect to the ecliptic is the angular offset of the 黃極 from the 黃極, 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.
