SPACEU SYMPOSIUM:
DR. SEAN MARSHALL
ABSTRACT:
Asteroid 3122 Florence made a very close approach to Earth in 2017. It was observed with the Arecibo and Goldstone radar systems, which revealed that Florence is a triple system, with two satellites orbiting a much larger primary body. We present preliminary shape models and satellite orbit fits, based on radar and light curve data.
