9. Some Interrelations of Asteroids, Trojans and Satellites [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1977 The Trojans of Jupiter have the same magnitude-frequency distribution as the asteroids, but there is a puzzling asymmetry of the densities in Preceding and Following Lagrangian points. The outer satellites of Jupiter have a peculiar magnitude-frequency distribution, with large and also small ones missing; they therefore cannot be captured asteroids or ...

Celestial Bodies Far-Range Detection with Deep-Space CubeSats [PDF]
Sensors, 2023 Detecting celestial bodies while in deep-space travel is a critical task for the correct execution of space missions. Major bodies such as planets are bright and therefore easy to observe, while small bodies can be faint and therefore difficult to ...

On quasi-satellite periodic motion in asteroid and planetary dynamics [PDF]
Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2018 Applying the method of analytical continuation of periodic orbits, we study quasi-satellite motion in the framework of the three-body problem. In the simplest, yet not trivial model, namely the planar circular restricted problem, it is known that quasi-satellite motion is associated with a family of periodic solutions, called family $f$, which consists

Physics-Uspekhi, 1995 More than 6000 asteroids in the Solar System have now been discovered and enumerated, and about 500 of them have been investigated in detail by different methods. This rewiew gives observational evidence which indicates that no fewer than 10% of asteroids may be composed of two or more bodies.

Searching satellites of asteroid Itokawa by imaging observation with Hayabusa spacecraft [PDF]
, 2008 We carried out a search for satellites around Itokawa, the target asteroid of the Japanese Hayabusa mission. An imaging instrument, AMICA, on the spacecraft was used to take four images of Itokawa and its vicinity on September 1, 2005.

Asteroid 2002 VE68, a quasi-satellite of Venus [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2004 The asteroid 2002 VE68 is currently a quasi-satellite of Venus, the first object of this dynamical class to be discovered, and is also the first known co-orbital companion to Venus. Our computations show that it has been in its present orbital state for about seven millennia and will stay there for five more centuries to come.

Occultation evidence for a satellite of the Trojan asteroid (911) Agamemnon [PDF]
Planetary and Space Science, 2013 On 2012 January 19, observers in the northeastern United States of America observed an occultation of 8.0-mag HIP 41337 star by the Jupiter-Trojan (911) Agamemnon, including one video recorded with a 36cm telescope that shows a deep brief secondary occultation that is likely due to a satellite, of about 5 km (most likely 3 to 10 km) across, at 278 km $\

Radar Astrometry of Asteroids, Comets and Planetary Satellites [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996 Groundbased radar has considerable astrometric potential for asteroids, comets and natural satellites that enter the detectability windows of available telescopes. For very closely approaching asteroids and comets, measurements of the distribution of echo power in time delay (range) and Doppler frequency (radial velocity) can achieve a fractional ...
