A grid of polarization models for Rayleigh scattering planetary atmospheres
, 2009 We investigate the intensity and polarization of reflected light from planetary atmospheres. We present a large grid of Monte Carlo simulations for planets with Rayleigh scattering atmospheres. We discuss the disk-integrated polarization for phase angles

Some new methods for planetary exploration [PDF]
, 1965 For many centuries the planets of our solar system have been objects of study by astronomers. Before the invention of the telescope, these studies were restricted to an attempt to understand and predict their motion.

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2016 The new reductions of available photographic plates of UkrVO digital archive containing images of selected minor planets were conducted. Data processing of these plates were carried out to check the possibility of obtaining the new positions with high ...

Integrated software package STAMP for minor planets [PDF]
The integrated software package STAMP allowed for rapid and exact reproduction of the tables of the year-book 'Ephemerides of Minor Planets.' Additionally, STAMP solved the typical problems connected with the use of the year-book. STAMP is described. The

Mean motion resonances at high eccentricities: the 2:1 and the 3:2 interior resonances
, 2017 Mean motion resonances [MMRs] play an important role in the formation and evolution of planetary systems and have significantly influenced the orbital properties and distribution of planets and minor planets in the solar system as well as exo-planetary ...

Highlights of Astronomy, 2005 The first detailed characterization of a near-Earth binary (2000 DP107) provided significant insights into the formation mechanism, orbital evolution, and physical properties of the system. Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) binaries are tidally evolved with synchronously rotating secondaries, providing constraints on asteroid mechanical properties (tidal Q and

, 2005 Through a simple physical argument we show that the slant optical depth through the atmosphere of a "hot Jupiter" planet is 35-90 times greater than the normal optical depth.

, 2019 The extended Kepler mission (K2) has revealed more than 500 transiting planets in roughly 500,000 stellar light curves. All of these were found either with the box least-squares algorithm or by visual inspection. Here we use our new transit least-squares

The Modular Computational Simulation Interface (MoCSI) code
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. With many different missions to small bodies and (icy) moons currently ongoing or on the horizon, modern thermophysical models for planetary science need to be able to be adapted to quickly changing parameters and science objectives. Aims.

Minor satellites and the Gaspra encounter [PDF]
Observational evidence, especially from occultations and radar, indicate that satellites of minor planets are numerous and commonplace. This leads to the prediction that the Galileo spacecraft will find many such 'minor satellites' at the upcoming close ...
