Full two-body simulations of Arrokoth's lobes demonstrate that shape irregularities produce gravitational torques orders of magnitude stronger than gas drag, causing rapid desynchronization and misalignment that none of the proposed pre-merger scenarios can prevent.
Updated shape model of Arrokoth finds significantly larger volume, 2:1 lobe ratio, spherical small lobe and oblate large lobe compared to prior work.
