Discovery, Observational Data and the Orbit of the Transneptunian Object (420356) Praamžius
Open Astronomy, 2016 A project for astrometric and photometric observations of asteroids with the VATT telescope on Mt. Graham is described. One of the most important results is the discovery of the Transneptunian object (420356) Praamžius. We computed its orbit applying 198

Constraining planet formation around 6$M_{\odot}$-8$M_{\odot}$ stars [PDF]
, 2020 Identifying planets around O-type and B-type stars is inherently difficult; the most massive known planet host has a mass of only about $3M_{\odot}$. However, planetary systems which survive the transformation of their host stars into white dwarfs can be detected via photospheric trace metals, circumstellar dusty and gaseous discs, and transits of ...

People Love to Name Things: Current Trends in Naming Minor Planets
Вопросы ономастикиAfter 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 ...

Post-main-sequence evolution of icy minor planets. III. water retention in dwarf planets and exo-moons and implications for white dwarf pollution [PDF]
, 2017 Studies suggest that the pollution of white dwarf (WD) atmospheres arises from the accretion of minor planets, but the exact properties of polluting material, and in particular the evidence for water in some cases are not yet understood. Previous works studied the water retention in minor planets around main-sequence and evolving host stars, in order ...

Precise CCD astrometric observations of minor planets and comets at the Belgrade observatory during 1997 [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 1998 73 precise astrometric positions of seven comets and two minor planets from MPC critical list - 1093 Freda and 4954 Eric - were obtained with the CCD equipped Askania astrograph (13.5/160) of Belgrade Astronomical Observatory.

Making Planet Nine: A Scattered Giant in the Outer Solar System [PDF]
, 2016 Correlations in the orbits of several minor planets in the outer solar system suggest the presence of a remote, massive Planet Nine. With at least ten times the mass of the Earth and a perihelion well beyond 100 AU, Planet Nine poses a challenge to planet formation theory.

The Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2000 SG344
Open Astronomy, 2016 We computed impact solutions for the potentially dangerous asteroid 2000 SG344, based on 31 optical observations from 1999 May 15.20482 UTC to 2010 October 29 03.60723 UTC.

Main Belt Comets and other “Interlopers” in the Solar System
Universe, 2022 According to traditional ideas about the formation of the Solar System starting from a protoplanetary disk of gas and dust, a well-defined distribution of planets and minor bodies is expected: (a) volatile-poor rocky bodies (terrestrial planets and ...
