This phenomenon could be explained by long – term dynamical evolution, called Yarkovsky effect. Finding similar behaviour among asteroids of another family could be a good verification of the Yarkovsky effect theory. The present work is a part of scientific project carried out at the Astronomical Observatory of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan. Its aim is to collect data on spin properties of the Flora family asteroids. This paper is a collection of all available data on physical properties of the Flora family asteroids. Up to now 90 small bodies from this family were observed and for them the data are presented. Determination of physical parameters of asteroids requires photometric data from at least three oppositions, that is why gathering process takes a several years. For asteroids: 291 Alice, 367 Amicitia and 825 Tanina new photometric observa- tions carried out at Observatory: Borowiec, Pic du Midi and Rozhen are presented. Were used new and already published ligthcurves to obtained sidereal periods, senses of rotation and shapes for these asteroids. The list enclosed to this paper, contains information about observations carried out and future oppositions for individual asteroids of the Flora family. 3 Spis tresci´ Wst˛ep 8 1 Małe planety 9 1.1 Cz˛estos´crotacjiplanetoidwgłównympasie..´ . 11 1.2 Poło˙zeniebiegunówdlaplanetoid. 13 1.3 Rodzinyplanetoid. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 14 2 Obserwacje rodziny Koronis 16 3 Efekt Jarkowskiego 18 3.1 MechanizmdziałaniaefektuJarkowskiego . 18 3.2 Ewolucjarotacjiinachyleniaosiobrotu. .. 21 4 Rodzina Flory 22 4.1 Krótkacharakterystykarodziny. 22 4.2 Zestawienieopublikowanychdanych . 23 5 Metoda EAM 30 6 Trzy planetki z rodziny Flory 35 6.1 291Alice .............................. 36 6.2 825Tanina.............................. 42 6.3 367Amicitia ............................ 48 7 Podsumowanie 56 Zał ˛acznik 58 Bibliografia 75 4 Spis rysunków 1.1 Histogram znormalizowanej cz˛estosci´ rotacji dla 460 planetoid o srednicachwi˛ekszychni˙z40km.´ . 11 1.2 Histogram przedstawiaj ˛acy przebieg znormalizowanej cz˛estosci´ rotacji dla 231 planetoid o rozmiarach 0.15 < D ≤ 10 km. .... 12 1.3 Rozkład szerokosci´ ekliptycznej biegunów dla planetoid głównego pasaorazNEA. ........................... 13 1.4 Rozkład planetoid w zale˙znosci´ od odległosci´ os Słonca.´ ..... 14 2.1 Cz˛estos´c´ rotacji w zale˙znosci´ od stopnia nachylenia dla 10 plane- toidzrodzinyKoronis. 16 2.2 Zale˙znos´c´ okresu rotacji od srednicy´ dla 10 planetoid z rodziny Koronis................................ 17 3.1 EfektJarkowskiego.. 19 3.2 Schemat działania składowej dziennej siły Jarkowskiego ..... 19 3.3 kładowasezonowaefektuJarkowskiego . 20 4.1 Histogram srednicy´ (km) wybranych planetoid z rodziny Flory. 23 4.2 Zale˙znos´c´ okresu rotacji od rozmiarów planetoid.

W 2002 roku zaobserwowano nieprzypadkowy podział w obr˛ebie rotacji i nachylenia jej osi dla dziesi˛eciu planetoid wsród´ rodziny Koro- nis (Silvan, 2002). Wytłumaczeniem tego zjawiska jest efekt Jarkowskiego, jako długowieczny proces termiczny wpływaj ˛acy na poło˙zenie ciała w przestrzeni. Znalezienie grupy małych ciał o podobnych własnosciach´ wsród´ innej rodziny, potwierdziłoby działanie niegrawitacyjnej siły Jarkowskiego. Praca jest cz˛esci´ ˛aprojektu naukowego prowadzonego w Obserwatorium As- tronomicznym Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, którego celem jest zebranie informacji o cz˛estosci,´ kierunku i poło˙zeniu osi rotacji dla planetoid z rodziny Flory. Dotychczas obserwowano dziewi˛ecdziesi´ ˛at małych ciał z rodziny Flory i dla nich zostały przedstawione dane w niniejszej pracy. Aby okresli´ c´ model plane- toidy potrzebne s ˛adane fotometryczne co najmniej z trzech opozycji, dlatego na ich zgromadzenie potrzeba kilku a nawet kilkunastu lat. Dla trzech planetoid: 291 Alice, 367 Amicitia i 825 Tanina wykorzystano po raz pierwszy nowe obserwacje wykonane w Obserwatoriach: Borowiec, Picu du Midi oraz Rozhen. Uwzgl˛ed- niaj ˛ac powy˙zsze dane oraz wczesniejsze´ opublikowane opozycje podano okresy gwiazdowe, współrz˛edne ekliptyczne biegunów i kształt dla tych wybranych pla- netek. Do pracy zał ˛aczona jest lista z informacjami o wykonanych obserwacjach (tabela 7.1) oraz przyszłych opozycjach w których b˛edzie mo˙zna wykonac´ fo- tometri˛edla poszczególnych planetoid z rodziny Flory. 8 Rozdział 1 Małe planety Dokładne poznanie powstania Układu Słonecznego i procesów jakie zachodzi- ły podczas jego formowania umo˙zliwia badanie planetoid i komet. Te na pozór małe kosmiczne „odpadki” mog ˛astanowic´ bogate ´zródło informacji o najwcze- sniejszych´ etapach ewolucji Układu Słonecznego sprzed około 4.6 mld lat, a tak˙ze o procesach fizycznych, które ci ˛agle wpływaj ˛ana jego histori˛e. Planetoidy, zwane równie˙zplanetkami lub małymi planetami, s ˛ato małe ciała kr ˛a˙z˛ace po orbitach wokół Słonca.´ Nazwa ich pochodzi od greckiego słowa „as- teroid” co oznacza „podobna do gwiazdy”. Pierwsza planetka - 1 Ceres (nazwa pochodzi od imienia greckiej bogini Sycylii ) - została dostrze˙zona przez wło- skiego astronoma Piazziego w obserwatorium w Palermo (Sycylia), dokładnie 1 stycznia 1801 roku. Jest to najwi˛eksze tego typu ciało, jej srednica´ wynosi 848 km. Inne du˙ze planetki to: 2 Pallas, 3 Juno, 4 Vesta. Ka˙zda nowo odkryta pla- netoida otrzymywała swój numer oraz nazw˛e, tak jak 1572 Posnania odkryta w 1949r. w Obserwatorium Astronomicznym w Poznaniu. Z upływem czasu liczba odkrywanych ciał wzrosła i wzrasta nadal, dlatego „najmłodsze” nie posiadaj ˛aju˙z swoich „imion”, lecz tylko

It now seems that many asteroids are little more than rubble piles, held together by self-gravity (Burns 1998); this means that their shapes may be strongly distorted by tides during close encounters with planets. Here we report on numerical simulations of encounters between a ellipsoid-shaped rubble-pile asteroid and the Earth. After an encounter, many of the simulated asteroids develop the same rotation rate and distinctive shape (i.e., highly elongated with a single convex side, tapered ends, and small protuberances swept back against the rotation direction) as 1620 Geographos. Since our numerical studies show that these events occur with some frequency, we suggest that Geographos may be a tidally distorted object. In addition, our work shows that 433 Eros, which will be visited by the NEAR spacecraft in 1999, is much like Geographos, which suggests that it too may have been molded by tides in the past.

Lazovic and M. Kuzmanoski Institute of Astronomy, Faculty of Sciences, Beograd Received January 30, 1980 Summary. Mutual gravitational action during proximities of 12 quasicomplanar minor pla­ nets pairs have been investigated, whose minimum distances were under 10000 km. In five of the pairs perturbations of several orbital elements have been stated, whose amounts are detectable by observations from the Earth. J. Lazovic, M. Kuzmanoski, POREMECAJI ELEMENATA KRETANJA KVAZIKOM­ PLANARNIH MALIH PLANETA U PROKSIMITETIMA NJIHOVIH PUTANJA SA DA­ LJINAMA MANJIM OD 10000 KM - Ispitali smo medusobna gravitaciona de;stva pri proksi­ mitetima 12 parova kvazikomplanarnih malih planeta sa minimalnim daljinama ispod 10000 km. Kod pet parova nadeni su poremecaji u vi~e putanjskih elemenata, ~iji bi se iznosi mogli ustano­ viti posmatranjima sa Zemlje. Earlier we have found out 13 quasicomplanar minor planets pairs (the angle I between their orbital planes less than O~500), whose minimum mutual distances (pmin) were less than 10000 km (Lazovic, Kuzmanoski, 1978). The shortest pro­ ximity distance of only 600 km among these pairs has been stated with minor planet pair (215) Oenone and 1851 == 1950 VA. The corresponding perturbation effects in this pair have been calculated (Lazovic, Kuzmanoski, 1979a). This motivated us to investigate the mutual perturbing actions in the 12 remaining minor planets pairs for the case they found themselves within the proximities of their correspon­ ding orbits.

We create a data set of 152 asteroids that were identified by the HCM method as members of ten collisional families, among them are 31 newly derived unique models and 24 new models with well-constrained pole-ecliptic latitudes of the spin axes.

The phase-integral values for asteroids of different geometric albedo range from 0.34 to 0.54 with an average value of 0.44. These values can be used for the determination of the Bond albedo of asteroids. Estimates for the phase-integral values using the G1 and G2 parameters are in very good agreement with the available observational data.

ABSTRACT William Harper has recently proposed that Newton's ideal of empirical success as exempli£ied in his deductions fiom phenomena informs the transition fiom natural philosophy to natural science. This dissertation examines a number of methodological themes arising fiom the Principia and that purport to exemplifjr Newton's ideal of empirical success.
