Superb opportunities to characterize two binary systems with the Arecibo radar

We request 16 sessions (34 hours observing + 16 hours setup) to seize exceptional opportunities to characterize the dynamics, morphology, and physical properties of two binary systems, 2000 DP107 and 1991 VH. High resolution images obtained over a suitable range of aspect angles will provide detailed information on the regolith, size, shape, and spin of the components and on their mutual orbit and dynamical interactions. In conjunction with pre-existing observations, these data will probe the formation and evolution of binaries in great detail, including processes such as avalanches, tides, librations, and YORP. If the proposed observations are successful both systems will compete for the title of best characterized binary in the solar system.
