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 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 ...

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.

A photometric search for active Main Belt asteroids [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2014 It is well known that some Main Belt asteroids show comet-like features. A representative example is the first known Main Belt comet 133P/(7968) Elst-Pizarro. If the mechanisms causing this activity are too weak to develop visually evident comae or tails, the objects stay unnoticed. We are presenting a novel way to search for active asteroids, based on

In Search of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids in the Taurid Resonant Swarm
The Planetary Science JournalAbstract 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.

An optimal Mars Trojan asteroid search strategy [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012 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. Although only three Mars Trojans have been discovered, models suggest that at least ten times this number should exist with diameters >= 1 km. We derive a model that constrains optimal sky search areas and

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.

ASTEROIDS SEARCH RESULTS IN LARGE PHOTOGRAPHIC SKY SURVEYS
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 Photographic observations of XX century contained numerous and varied information about all objects and events of the Universe fixed on plates. The original and interesting observations of small bodies of the Solar system in previous years can be selected and used for various scientific tasks.
