[31.06] Discovery of new asteroid binaries (121) Hermione and (1509) Esclangona
We also discovered that (1509) Esclangona, a small (12 km) inner-main-belt asteroid, was binary on 2003 Feb 13.
Again, there is insufficient data to determine an orbit, but the companion appears to orbit at least 23 primary radii from Esclangona.
