  • Constraining Mineralogical Composition of Asteroid Ryugu with Ground-Based Observations

We observed Ryugu using the SpeX instrument in Prism mode on NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, on July, 12 2016 when the asteroid was 18.87 visual magnitude, at a phase angle of 13.3°. The NIR spectra were used to constrain Ryugu’s surface composition, determine meteorite analogs and study spectral affinity to other asteroids. We also modeled its photometric properties using archival data. Using the Lommel-Seeliger model we computed the predicted flux for Ryugu at a wide range of viewing geometries as well as albedo quantities such as geometric albedo, phase integral, and spherical Bond albedo. Our computed albedo quantities are consistent with results from Ishiguro et al. (2014). In previous work, Ryugu’s visible spectrum revealed that it can be classified as a C-type object. In addition, not all previous ground-based observations of Ryugu detected the 0.7 µm absorption feature due to the presence of phyllosilicates.

  • Accurate Positions of Asteroids Observed in Bucharest During the Year 1931
    ACCURATE POSITIONS OF ASTEROIDS OBSERVED IN BUCHAREST DURING THE YEAR 1931 GHEORGHE BOCŞA, MIHAELA LICULESCU, PETRE POPESCU Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy Str. Cuţitul de Argint 5, 040557 Bucharest, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The paper contains the observations of minor planets performed in 1931 in Bucharest Astronomical Observatory with 380/6000 mm astrograph. Both Turner’s (constants) and Schlesinger’s (dependences) methods were used in the computation of the normal coordinates of the objects. Keywords: photographic astrometry – minor planets. 1. INTRODUCTION At Bucharest Observatory, within the framework of the Wide-Field Plate Archive Programme, part of the activities of the IAU Commission 9, 13 000 plates were catalogued. They were obtained through a systematic work beginning with the year 1930 until now, by means of the Prin-Merz refractor (f = 6 m, D = 38 cm). After a careful investigation of the whole plate archive, among other things, we discovered that a series of observations were not capitalized, such as a set of minor planets that were observed during 1930–1955. The lack of accurate star catalogues containing positions and proper motions, was one of the reasons for which the completion of the reductions has been neglected in that period. It is worth mentioning that the SAO Catalogue was issued starting from that period. Another thing worth mentioning is that the first Zeiss measuring machine was bought by the Observatory in 1957. However, systematic work on plate processing at Bucharest Observatory started beginning with 1956. The first paper on this subject was published by Cristescu et al.

    1,. ,-- ,-- ~XECKDING PAGE BLANK WT FIL,,q DYNAMICAL EVIDENCE REGARDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ASTEROIDS AND METEORITES GEORGE W. WETHERILL Department of Temcltricrl kgnetism ~amregie~mtittition of Washington Washington, D. C. 20025 Meteorites are fragments of small solar system bodies (comets, asteroids and Apollo objects). Therefore they may be expected to provide valuable information regarding these bodies. How- ever, the identification of particular classes of meteorites with particular small bodies or classes of small bodies is at present uncertain. It is very unlikely that any significant quantity of meteoritic material is obtained from typical ac- tive comets. Relatively we1 1-studied dynamical mechanisms exist for transferring material into the vicinity of the Earth from the inner edge of the asteroid belt on an 210~-~year time scale. It seems likely that most iron meteorites are obtained in this way, and a significant yield of complementary differec- tiated meteoritic silicate material may be expected to accom- pany these differentiated iron meteorites. Insofar as data exist, photometric measurements support an association between Apollo objects and chondri tic meteorites. Because Apol lo ob- jects are in orbits which come close to the Earth, and also must be fragmented as they traverse the asteroid belt near aphel ion, there also must be a component of the meteorite flux derived from Apollo objects. Dynamical arguments favor the hypothesis that most Apollo objects are devolatilized comet resiaues. However, plausible dynamical , petrographic, and cosmogonical reasons are known which argue against the simple conclusion of this syllogism, uiz., that chondri tes are of cometary origin. Suggestions are given for future theoretical , observational, experimental investigations directed toward improving our understanding of this puzzling situation.

    THE MINOR PLANET BULLETIN OF THE MINOR PLANETS SECTION OF THE BULLETIN ASSOCIATION OF LUNAR AND PLANETARY OBSERVERS VOLUME 42, NUMBER 2, A.D. 2015 APRIL-JUNE 89. ASTEROID LIGHTCURVE ANALYSIS AT THE OAKLEY SOUTHERN SKY OBSERVATORY: 2014 SEPTEMBER Lucas Bohn, Brianna Hibbler, Gregory Stein, Richard Ditteon Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, CM 171 5500 Wabash Avenue, Terre Haute, IN 47803, USA [email protected] (Received: 24 November) Photometric data were collected over the course of seven nights in 2014 September for eight asteroids: 1334 Lundmarka, 1904 Massevitch, 2571 Geisei, 2699 Kalinin, 3197 Weissman, 7837 Mutsumi, 14927 Satoshi, and (29769) 1999 CE28. Eight asteroids were remotely observed from the Oakley Southern Sky Observatory in New South Wales, Australia. The observations were made on 2014 September 12-14, 16-19 using a 0.50-m f/8.3 Ritchey-Chretien optical tube assembly on a Paramount ME mount and SBIG STX-16803 CCD camera, binned 3x3, with a luminance filter. Exposure times ranged from 90 to 180 sec depending on the magnitude of the target. The resulting image scale was 1.34 arcseconds per pixel. Raw images were processed in MaxIm DL 6 using twilight flats, bias, and dark frames. MPO Canopus was used to measure the processed images and produce lightcurves. In order to maximize the potential for data collection, target asteroids were selected based upon their position in the sky approximately one hour after sunset. Only asteroids with no previously published results were targeted. Lightcurves were produced for 1334 Lundmarka, 1904 Massevitch, 2571 Geisei, 3197 Weissman, and (29769) 1999 CE28.

  • Albedos of Small Hilda Group Asteroids As Revealed by Spitzer
    Albedos of Small Hilda Group Asteroids as Revealed by Spitzer ERIN LEE RYAN, CHARLES E. WOODWARD Department of Astronomy, School of Physics and Astronomy, 116 Church Street, S. E., University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, [email protected], [email protected] Received ; accepted AJ ver October 29, 2018 arXiv:1103.0724v1 [astro-ph.EP] 3 Mar 2011 –2– ABSTRACT We present thermal 24 µm observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope of 62 Hilda asteroid group members with diameters ranging from 3 to 12 kilometers. Measurements of the thermal emission when combined with reported absolute magnitudes allow us to constrain the albedo and diameter of each object. From our Spitzer sample, we find the mean geometric albedo, pV = 0.07 ± 0.05 for small (D < 10 km) Hilda group asteroids. This value of pV is greater than and spans a larger range in albedo space than the mean albedo of large (D & 10 km) Hilda group asteroids which is pV = 0.04 ± 0.01. Though this difference may be attributed to space weathering, the small Hilda group population reportedly dis- plays greater taxonomic range from C-, D- and X-type whose albedo distributions are commensurate with the range of determined albedos. We discuss the derived Hilda size-frequency distribution, color-color space, and geometric albedo for our survey sample in the context of the expected migration induced ”seeding” of the Hilda asteroid group with outer solar system proto-planetesimals as outlined in the ”Nice” formalism. Subject headings: solar system: minor planets, asteroids: surveys –3– 1. INTRODUCTION Residing in the outer main belt at a distance of ≃ 4.04 AU in the first-order Jupiter J3:2 mean resonance is an asteroid population with an unknown origin, the Hilda asteroid group (Gradie et al.
