Description: Recent observations have led to unconventional models of certain asteroids, suggesting previously unsuspected forms. Some of these include binary asteroids (e.g., 532 Herculina, 18 Melpomene), very irregular asteroids (e.g., the Mars-crossing 1580 Betulia), and very elongated asteroids, unlikely to be collisional fragments (e.g., 624 Hector). A connection is suggested between this observational work and ongoing theoretical work concerning collisions of large comparable-sized asteroids. Such collisions have different consequences from the collisions usually considered. The new work suggests possible sources of elongated and binary asteroids.
