Is the orbital and physical information about the "main" body or the system as a whole? Ardric47 22:04, 26 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

From the nature of the system it would make more sense if it was for the system as a whole, but I'm not sure Cryomaniac 23:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
The solar orbit is described in terms of the center-of-mass of the binary. Physical information (except dimensions) is for both objects.Michaelbusch 16:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Random questions edit

Things that confuse me about systems like this are things like would it be possible to land something on the surfaces that face each other? Also, seeing as the bodies are about the same size would something fired exactly between them at a high enough speed not have it's course changed? Cryomaniac 23:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes, you could land on the inner surfaces, although the surface gravity there is different from elsewhere. If the gravity were zero or negative, you could not land, but then the two objects should have collapsed onto each other. If you stood at the center-of-mass of the system and fired a bullet exactly in the right direction, it would remain the proper distance from both objects that the direction of the trajectory would not change. However, it would still be slowed down as it worked its way out of the potential well. Michaelbusch 16:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Gap edit

Hey, guys, maybe my maths are wrong but the article says the gap between the two bodies is a mere 60km thus I am wondering : 170 -(93/2+89/2) = 79 and not 60km. That makes some difference here. Could someone check this information ? Thanks. (Isyriand (talk) 15:51, 6 July 2010 (UTC))Reply

I have referenced the gap and the diameters, and changed the statement to say: the gap separating the two halves is about the same as the diameter of each component. -- Kheider (talk) 14:10, 8 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Good idea, that is what was interesting here. Nice job. Isyriand (talk) 17:18, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

How much of the sky does one of them take up, as seen from the other one? Grassynoel (talk) 09:12, 8 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

About 39 degrees at the zenith, I reckon. —Tamfang (talk) 08:51, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Accidentally appropriate name edit

it is named after a character in Greek Mythology, called Antiope, though it is disputed as to which, there being more than one.

Easy! It's a double asteroid, so... One half is named after the sister of Hippolyte, and the other is named after the mother of Amphion.

Good one! ---- GraL

What happened to this page? I tried to fix it by moving the template around and then i came out with two templates...--I am a Wikipedian (talk) 12:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fixed it..I think, if somethings wrong you can all blame me :(--I am a Wikipedian (talk) 12:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think the columns confused things. Removed them, split the infoboxen with text, that seems to give them more breathing room. The first infobox is very loaded! Twang (talk) 07:28, 7 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dead link edit

During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!
