Orbits of very distant #asteroid satellites: https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2025/06/aa51124-24/aa51124-24.html -> "The very wide binary asteroid (VWBA) population is a small subset of the population of known binary and multiple asteroids made of systems with very widely orbiting satellites and long orbital periods, on the order of tens to hundreds of days. The origin of these systems is debatable, and most members of this population are poorly characterized."
