Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

The intermediate to major axis ratio, (b/a) , and minor to major axis ratio, (c/a) , shows that Didymos possesses a smaller (c/a) relative to other top-shaped asteroids. Dimorphos has a large (b/a) relative to other secondaries. The four secondaries included are the satellites of the S-type binaries 66391 Moshup (formerly 1999 KW 4 ) and 2000 DP 107 as well as the two satellites of the C-type triple 2001 SN 263 83 , 84 , 85 . The black line defines (b/a=c/a) .
