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

Microlensing search for extra solar planets [PDF]

, 2015
Gravitational microlensing may be used to probe distant stars for planetary companions. The presence of a planet in the vicinity of a star acting as the lens may cause a short lived anomaly in the observed lightcurve of the lensing event.

Wide angle search for extrasolar planets by the transit method [PDF]

, 2008
The transit method is considered to be one of the most promising for discovering extrasolar planets. However, the method requires photometric precision of better than ∼ 1%.

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 ...
