FindPOTATOs: Minor Planet Observation Linking Software [PDF]
For minor planet observations to be archived and used by the scientific community, observations of individual objects must be linked together into groups called tracklets.

Genetic optimization of asteroid families’ membership
Asteroid families are groups of asteroids with a common origin, such as prior collisions or the parent body’s rotational fission. In proper [a, e, sin(i)] element domains, they are generally observed using the hierarchical clustering technique (HCMs ...

Computation of asteroid proper elements on the Grid [PDF]
A procedure of gridification of the computation of asteroid proper orbital elements is described. The need to speed up the time consuming computations and make them more efficient is justified by the large increase of observational data expected from the

Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. VIII. Complete Sample of 2019 Subprime Field Planets
We complete the publication of all microlensing planets (and “possible planets”) identified by the uniform approach of the KMT AnomalyFinder system in the 21 KMT subprime fields during the 2019 observing season, namely, KMT-2019-BLG-0298, KMT-2019-BLG ...

Mercury and orbfit packages for numerical integration of planetary systems: implementation of the yarkovsky and yorp effects [PDF]
For studies of the long-term evolution of small Solar System objects, it is fundamental to add the Yarkovsky and Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effects in the dynamical model.

The physical and dynamical characteristics of the asteroid 4940 Polenov [PDF]
The asteroid (1986 QY4) 4940 Polenov is the first Solar system object whose 3D shape is determined using the observations from the newly built Astronomical Station Vidojevica (ASV).

Classification of asteroid families with artificial neural networks [PDF]
This paper describes an artificial neural network for classification of asteroids into families. The data used for artificial neural network training and testing were obtained by the Hierarchical Clustering Method (HCM).

Asteroid spin-rate studies using large sky-field surveys
Eight campaigns to survey asteroid rotation periods have been carried out using the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory in the past 3 years. 2780 reliable rotation periods were obtained, from which we identified two new super-fast rotators (SFRs ...

CCD astrometric observations of minor planets at the Belgrade observatory during 1999 (II) [PDF]
76 precise astrometric positions of six observed minor planets (two NEO among them) are calculated. The SBIG ST-8 camera attached to Askania astrograph of Belgrade Observatory was used in the observations.
