This, to my knowledge, is the first refereed paper to be published on Rosetta's observations of C-G (and it's free to access!):
The rotation state of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from approach observations with the OSIRIS cameras on Rosetta |

They are looking at the mechanics and seeing if Kepler, et al think that the contact binary could happen.
In a way, with an object that has formed through accretion, where is the line drawn on the size of the accretionary elements? Parts up to one-quarter to one-half Km in size are identifiable, in addition to the two major lobes. And different morphologies of different regions can be attributed to differences in erosional characteristics. It's a whole different world. --Bill -------------------- |
