Asteroid 90 Antiope is a truly binary body, with two components almost equal in size that spin together in a very tight circular orbit.
Antiope and its companion are small bodies, too small to be resolved by even the largest telescopes with the most advanced Adaptive Optics systems.
It's likely that Antiope formed as a result of a collision: it's a member of the Themis family of asteroids, which are thought to have originated when a large asteroid experienced a catastrophic impact that broke it into multiple pieces that now share a similar orbit.

Class S (silicaceous) asteroids are more prevalent in the inner part of the main asteroid belt, giving way to Class C (carbonaceous) in the middle and outer parts of the belt.
Class M (metal) objects are especially concentrated in the middle of the belt, while dark reddish asteroids of classes P and D become commoner at the outer edge of the belt and beyond.
