Determinations of Asteroid Masses Using Mutual Encounters Observed in the Legacy Survey of Space and Time

Using published simulations of the 10 yr Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), we forecast its ability to determine the masses of individual main-belt asteroids (MBAs) through precise astrometry of any pairs of the ≈1.2 million known MBAs undergoing close gravitational encounters during the survey...
