Minor Planet Names: Alphabetical List ASTEROIDS Minor Planet Names: Alphabetical List This is an alphabetical listing of the names of the numbered minor planets. It was last updated on 2011, June 17 The available asteroids are now well over 16,000. Here’s the reference site: http://www.astro.com/swisseph/astlist.htm You will notice the respective asteroid number in parenthesis to the immediate left of each asteroid. To find out where any asteroid is in your chart, consult below the AstroDienst site below: http://www.astro.com/cgi/genchart.cgi?&cid=rtbfilepar7OA-u1056512981&nhor=1 Once you have imput your own chart data, insert the asteroid numbers of those asteroids you are interested in finding out (specific location in your chart) at the bottom left of the page. It will state “additional asteroids or "hypothetical" planets (please enter the numbers from the respective lists, e.g. "433,1221,h48").” Then click to the right, “Click Here To Show The Chart.” ***************************** [Bill Wrobel] Note: References below to zodiacal placements are to my own chart: Born July 1, 1950, Syracuse, New York, USA, 2:22 pm EDT [Born July, 1, 1950 at 2:22 PDT, Syracuse, New York, 43 N2.9, 76 W 8.9. Ascendant is 22 Libra 7, MC 26 Cancer 34, 11th house is 0 Virgo 8, 12th house cusp is 28 Virgo 47, 2nd house 19 Scorpio 32, 3rd house 21 Sagittarius 29. Mars is 8 Libra 23 widely conjunct Neptune is 14 Libra35—Neptune in its own house and Mars, as a natural key to identity & personal action, in the 12th-Pisces-neptune (Letter Twelve) house. Jupiter at 7 Pisces 25 is in the 5th house quincunx Mars in the 12th. Moon is at 5 Aquarius 19 in the 4th house trine Venus in 5 Gemini 5 in the 8th house and trine Mars in Libra in the 12th (grand air trine). Sun is 9 Cancer 20 in the 9th house conjunct Uranus at 5 Cancer 27. Mercury is 28 Gemini 14 also in the 9th. Pluto is 16 Leo 40 in the 10th. Saturn is 14 Virgo 26 in the 11th, and Juno (the marriage/partnership asteroid) is in 25 Virgo 43 in the 11th. Vesta is 4 Taurus 60 in the 7th house. North node (true node) is 2 Aries 2 in the 6th, and south note is 2 Libra 2 in the 12th. East point 1 (auxiliary Ascendant) is 0 Scorpio 42 in the 1st house conjunct Pallas at 1 Scorpio 48. Antivertex (another auxiliary Ascendant) is 21 Scorpio 34 in the 2nd house. Ceres is 7 Sagittarius 27 in the 2nd house, and Chiron is 17 Chiron 13. Local Ascendant in southern California is 18 Virgo 38, and local MC is 17 Gemini 37. Local East point is 15 Virgo 23 conjunct natal Saturn at 14 Virgo 26. Sun-Moon midpoint is 22 Aries 19 conjunct Descendant (7th house cusp). Venus-Jupiter midpoint is 21 Aries 15 also conjunct the Descendant. Juno-Ascendant midpoint is 8 Libra 55 conjunct Mars. Vesta-Saturn midpoint is 9 Cancer 43 conjunct the Sun. Vesta-Uranus midpoint is 5 Gemini 13 conjunct Venus. Jupiter-Chiron midpoint is 27 Capricorn conjunct IC (home focus). Saturn-East point midpoint is 7 Libra 34 conjunct Mars. Uranus-Pluto midpoint is 26 Cancer 3 conjunct MC. Neptune-Eastpoint midpoint is conjunct Ascendant (another Letter twelve emphasis). The asteroid “Arizona” is 5 Aquarius 30 conjunct the Moon in the 4th (I, Bill, plan to retire there!). The asteroid “California” is 15 Libra 13 conjunct Neptune (California has been my home since early November 1972). Fortuna is conjunct California. Libitina is 21 Libra 59 conjunct the Ascendant, and Spartacus at 22 Libra 30 is also conjunct it. Washingtonia at 11 Aquarius 56 is conjunct my natal Part of Death at 12 Aquarius 27 (I do not plan to live there!). Nemesis at 19 Gemini 6 is conjunct Pasadena at 19 Gemini 24 (I also do not plan to live in that city!). The asteroid “Roberts” at 5 Gemini 49 is conjunct my Venus, a key to pleasure (I thoroughly enjoy the writings of Seth/Jane Roberts). Shakespeare at 4 Gemini 32 and Apollo at 4 Gemini 35 are also conjunct Venus. I never had an active interest in reading Shakespeare but somehow the Universe is connecting me with him. The best I can say is that I enjoyed Kenneth Branaugh’s Hamlet] NOTE: Any aspect of importance must be within a strict one-degree orb, especially if the angles are involved and the planets (such as conjunctions). The Universe is potentially connecting you with the significance(s) of that asteroid. If, say, San Diego is conjunct your Moon, potentially that city can be a natural or karmic home for you.

Fornasier1,2, C. Lantz1,2, M.A. Barucci1, M. Lazzarin3 Abstract This work focuses on the study of the aqueous alteration process which acted in the main belt and produced hydrated minerals on the altered asteroids. Hydrated minerals have been found mainly on Mars surface, on main belt primitive asteroids and possibly also on few TNOs. These materials have been produced by hydration of pristine anhydrous silicates during the aqueous alteration process, that, to be active, needed the presence of liquid water under low temperature conditions (below 320 K) to chemically alter the minerals.

  • The Minor Planet Bulletin
    THE MINOR PLANET BULLETIN OF THE MINOR PLANETS SECTION OF THE BULLETIN ASSOCIATION OF LUNAR AND PLANETARY OBSERVERS VOLUME 35, NUMBER 3, A.D. 2008 JULY-SEPTEMBER 95. ASTEROID LIGHTCURVE ANALYSIS AT SCT/ST-9E, or 0.35m SCT/STL-1001E. Depending on the THE PALMER DIVIDE OBSERVATORY: binning used, the scale for the images ranged from 1.2-2.5 DECEMBER 2007 – MARCH 2008 arcseconds/pixel. Exposure times were 90–240 s. Most observations were made with no filter. On occasion, e.g., when a Brian D. Warner nearly full moon was present, an R filter was used to decrease the Palmer Divide Observatory/Space Science Institute sky background noise. Guiding was used in almost all cases. 17995 Bakers Farm Rd., Colorado Springs, CO 80908 [email protected] All images were measured using MPO Canopus, which employs differential aperture photometry to determine the values used for (Received: 6 March) analysis. Period analysis was also done using MPO Canopus, which incorporates the Fourier analysis algorithm developed by Harris (1989). Lightcurves for 17 asteroids were obtained at the Palmer Divide Observatory from December 2007 to early The results are summarized in the table below, as are individual March 2008: 793 Arizona, 1092 Lilium, 2093 plots. The data and curves are presented without comment except Genichesk, 3086 Kalbaugh, 4859 Fraknoi, 5806 when warranted. Column 3 gives the full range of dates of Archieroy, 6296 Cleveland, 6310 Jankonke, 6384 observations; column 4 gives the number of data points used in the Kervin, (7283) 1989 TX15, 7560 Spudis, (7579) 1990 analysis.

In the past decade, more than one hundred asteroid models were derived using the lightcurve inversion method. Measured by the number of derived models, lightcurve inversion has become the leading method for asteroid shape determination.

  • A Photometric Search for Active Main Belt Asteroids S

Tancredi4 1 Physics Department, University of Split, Nikole Tesle 12, 21000 Split, Croatia. e-mail: [email protected] 2 Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía - CSIC, Apt 3004, 18008 Granada, Spain. 3 Institute for Astro- and Particle Physics, University of Innsbruck, Technikerstr. 25/8, A-6020 Innsbruck, Austria. 4 Observatorio Astronómico Los Molinos DICYT-MEC Cno. de los Molinos 5769, 12400 Montevideo, Uruguay. May 15, 2018 ABSTRACT It is well known that some Main Belt asteroids show comet-like features. A representative example is the first known Main Belt comet 133P/(7968) Elst-Pizarro. If the mechanisms causing this activity are too weak to develop visually evident comae or tails, the objects stay unnoticed. We are presenting a novel way to search for active asteroids, based on looking for objects with deviations from their expected brightnesses in a database. Just by using the MPCAT-OBS Observation Archive we have found five new candidate objects that possibly show a type of comet-like activity, and the already known Main Belt comet 133P/(7968) Elst-Pizarro. Four of the new candidates, (315) Constantia, (1026) Ingrid, (3646) Aduatiques, and (24684) 1990 EU4, show brightness deviations independent of the object’s heliocentric distance, while (35101) 1991 PL16 shows deviations dependent on its heliocentric distance, which could be an indication of a thermal triggered mechanism. The method could be implemented in future sky survey programmes to detect outbursts on Main Belt objects almost simultaneously with their occurrence.
