Computation of asteroid proper elements on the Grid [PDF]

Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2009
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

Calibration of the angular momenta of the minor planets in the solar system [PDF]

, 2019
Aims. We aim to determine the relative angle between the total angular momentum of the minor planets and that of the Sun-planets system, and to improve the orientation of the invariable plane of the solar system. Methods. By utilizing physical parameters

The naming of minor planets: multicultural relationships [PDF]

, 2009
To date, among the hundred or so minor planets we discovered with various instruments around the world, twenty of these objects have been definitively numbered and named. We have choosen the names according to our centers of interest. In honouring people

Comparison of catalogues from observations of minor planets [PDF]

, 2022
The errors of the fundamental catalog FK4 and its deficiencies to the south of -30° declination are well known. The present work consists of looking at the behaviour of the FK5 catalog using observations of more than 100 minor planets, obtained at one ...

The spin state of asteroid Apophis and a prediction of its change during the 2029 close encounter with Earth

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. On April 13, 2029, the asteroid Apophis will pass near Earth at a geocentric distance of about 38 000 km. This will provide a unique opportunity to study the effects of Earth’s gravitational torque on the asteroid’s spin state and figure ...

Asteroid spin-rate studies using large sky-field surveys

Geoscience Letters, 2017
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 ...
