The Chemical Composition of an Extrasolar Minor Planet
We report the relative abundances of 17 elements in the atmosphere of the white dwarf star GD 362, material that, very probably, was contained previously in a large asteroid or asteroids with composition similar to the Earth/Moon system. The asteroid may

People Love to Name Things: Current Trends in Naming Minor Planets
After several introductory remarks regarding the onomastic terminology used for names of celestial objects, the article proposes a semantic and a limited formal analysis of the minor planet names officially published in 2022 by the International ...

The PTF Orion Project: a Possible Planet Transiting a T-Tauri Star [PDF]
We report observations of a possible young transiting planet orbiting a previously known weak-lined T-Tauri star in the 7-10 Myr old Orion-OB1a/25-Ori region. The candidate was found as part of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) Orion project.

Asteroid phase curves from Lowell observatory photometric database
We present results obtained from processing large photometric data base. We make use of low-precision (generally rounded to 0.1 mag) and low-accuracy (rms magnitude uncertainties of ±0.2 to 0.3 mag) data obtained from the Minor Planet Center and modified

DIGITAL ARCHIVE OF UKRVO: THE POSITIONAL ACCURACY OF MINOR PLANETS DETERMINATIONS
Scanning and astrometric processing of two 30x30 cm photographic plates with images of minor planets were conducted. The plates were obtained at the double wide-angle astrograph (DWAA, 400/2000) on the program of photographic sky survey and the program ...

Fundamental Properties of Kepler Planet-Candidate Host Stars using Asteroseismology [PDF]
We have used asteroseismology to determine fundamental properties for 66 Kepler planet-candidate host stars, with typical uncertainties of 3% and 7% in radius and mass, respectively.

ASTEROIDS EXPLORATION WITH BALDONE SCHMIDT TELE-SCOPE
CCD observations of asteroids were ob-tained in 2008 with the Baldone Schmidt telescope (aper-ture/diameter/focal length = 80/120/240 cm) at the Bal-done Astrophysical observatory (code 069) of the Institute of Astronomy of the University of Latvia.
