Optimal searches for asteroids [PDF]

Icarus, 1984
Optimal searches for a fixed object are discussed, and the rigorous analytical results of discrete search theory are presented. The totally optimal, the uniformly optimal, the locally optimal, and the fastest searches are shown to be identical under not too restrictive assumptions.

An optimal Earth Trojan asteroid search strategy [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2011
Abstract Trojan asteroids are minor planets that share the orbit of a planet about the Sun and librate around the L4 or L5 Lagrangian points of stability. They are important solar-system fossils because they carry information on early Solar system formation, when collisions between bodies were more frequent.

Experience in Asteroid Search using Astrometrica Software [PDF]

International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 2019
The present work of this research consists of the analysis of telescopic images provided by the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) to find asteroids that can be named. The concern in searching for asteroids helps the scientific community that promotes the collaboration of young students and astronomy fans get experience in finding ...

Search and study of the space debris and asteroids within ISON project [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
International Scientific Optical Network (ISON) is an open international voluntary project specializing in observations of the near-Earth space objects. Observatories collaborating with ISON provide the global coverage and successfully combine the observations of the space debris and asteroids.

SEARCH FOR THE RETURN OF ACTIVITY IN ACTIVE ASTEROID 176P/LINEAR [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2014
We present the results of a search for the reactivation of active asteroid 176P/LINEAR during its 2011 perihelion passage using deep optical observations obtained before, during, and after that perihelion passage. Deep composite images of 176P constructed from data obtained between June 2011 and December 2011 show no visible signs of activity, while ...

Gaia search for early-formed andesitic asteroidal crusts

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023
Context. Andesitic meteorites are among the oldest achondrites known to date. They record volcanic events and crust formation episodes in primordial planetesimals that took place about 4.565 Myr ago. However, no analogue for these meteorites has been found in the asteroid population to date. Aims.

A NEAR-INFRARED SEARCH FOR SILICATES IN JOVIAN TROJAN ASTEROIDS [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2011
We obtained near-infrared (0.8 - 2.5 micron) spectra of seven Jovian Trojan asteroids that have been formerly reported to show silicate-like absorption features near 1 micron. Our sample includes the Trojan (1172) Aneas, which is one of three Trojans known to possess a comet-like 10 micron emission feature, indicative of fine-grained silicates.

In Search of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids in the Taurid Resonant Swarm

The Planetary Science Journal
Abstract The Taurid Complex is a large interplanetary system that contains comet 2P/Encke, several meteoroid streams, and possibly a number of near-Earth asteroids. The size and nature of the system have led to the speculation that it was formed through a large-scale cometary breakup.

Search strategies for Trojan asteroids in the inner Solar System [PDF]

Planetary and Space Science, 2011
Trojan asteroids are minor planets that share the orbit of a planet about the Sun and librate around the L4 or L5 Lagrangian points of stability. They are important because they carry information on early Solar System formation, when collisions between bodies were more frequent.
