Inferring interiors and structural history of top-shaped asteroids from external properties of asteroid (101955) Bennu

Asteroid interiors are key to understand their formation and evolution. Here, the authors show that numerically simulated low-cohesion and low-friction structures with several high-cohesion internal zones can explain asteroid Bennu’s geophysical characteristics and the absence of the moons.
