Physical and Mutual Orbit Characteristics of Near-Earth Binary Asteroid (163693) Atira

We report physical and mutual orbit characteristics of near-Earth binary asteroid (163693) Atira. Using S -band (2380 MHz, 12.6 cm) radar observations from the Arecibo Observatory and several epochs of lightcurve observations from 2003 to 2019 with SHAPE modeling software, we determine the shape, si...
