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 ...

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.

Enrichment of the HR 8799 planets by minor bodies and dust [PDF]
Are minor bodies and dust delivering volatile and/or refractory materials in exoplanetary systems? Around ~20% of the nearest stars are found to host analogues of the main asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. Our aim is to study the possibility of material

The proximities of asteroids and critical points of the distance function [PDF]
The proximities are important for different purposes, for example to evaluate the risk of collisions of asteroids or comets with the Solar-System planets.

A potential survival strategy during the late heavy bombardment [PDF]
The Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) represents a period of time in which an increased number of impactors collided with the Earth. While there were continuous collisions of impactors globally, these would be perceived by populations of life as ...

Survey of secular resonances in the asteroid belt [PDF]
Using a recently introduced synthetic method to compute the asteroid secular frequencies (Knežević and Milani 2019), in this paper we survey the locations of secular resonances in the 9 dynamically distinct zones of the asteroid belt.

Third derivatives of the integrable part of an asteroid Hamiltonian [PDF]
To apply the theorem of Nekhoroshev (1977) to asteroids, one first has to check whether a necessary geometrical condition is fulfilled: either convexity, or quasi-convexity, or only a 3-jet non-degeneracy.

Computation of asteroid proper elements: Recent advances [PDF]
The recent advances in computation of asteroid proper elements are briefly reviewed. Although not representing real breakthroughs in computation and stability assessment of proper elements, these advances can still be considered as important improvements

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 ...

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 ...
