The near- 454 MATHESIS, 477 ITALIA, AND 2264 SABRINA perfect overlay of V- and R-band data show no evidence of color change as the asteroid rotates. This result replicates the lightcurve Robert K. Buchheim period reported by Harris et al. (1984), and matches the period and Altimira Observatory lightcurve shape reported by Behrend (2005) at his website. 18 Altimira, Coto de Caza, CA 92679 USA [email protected] (Received: 4 November Revised: 21 November) Photometric studies of asteroids 133 Cyrene, 454 Mathesis, 477 Italia and 2264 Sabrina are reported. The lightcurve period for Cyrene of 12.707±0.015 h (with amplitude 0.22 mag) confirms prior studies. The lightcurve period of 8.37784±0.00003 h (amplitude 0.32 mag) for Mathesis differs from previous studies. For Italia, color indices (B-V)=0.87±0.07, (V-R)=0.48±0.05, and phase curve parameters H=10.4, G=0.15 have been determined. For Sabrina, this study provides the first reported lightcurve period 43.41±0.02 h, with 0.30 mag amplitude. Altimira Observatory, located in southern California, is equipped with a 0.28-m Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (Celestron NexStar- 454 Mathesis. DiMartino et al. (1994) reported a rotation period of 11 operating at F/6.3), and CCD imager (ST-8XE NABG, with 7.075 h with amplitude 0.28 mag for this asteroid, based on two Johnson-Cousins filters).

Current amount of ∼500 asteroid models derived from the disk-integrated photometry by the lightcurve inversion method allows us to study not only the spin-vector properties of the whole population of MBAs, but also of several individual collisional families. Aims. 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 Basic Physics of the Binary Black Hole Merger GW150914
    September 21, 2016 The basic physics of the binary black hole merger GW150914 The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and The Virgo Collaboration¤ The first direct gravitational-wave detection was made by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory on September 14, 2015. The GW150914 signal was strong enough to be apparent, without using any waveform model, in the filtered detec- tor strain data. Here those features of the signal visible in these data are used, along with only such concepts from Newtonian physics and general relativity as are ac- cessible to anyone with a general physics background. The simple analysis presented here is consistent with the fully general-relativistic analyses published else- Figure 1 The instrumental strain data in the Livingston detec- where, in showing that the signal was produced by the tor (blue) and Hanford detector (red), as shown in Figure 1 of inspiral and subsequent merger of two black holes.

LIGHTCURVES OF 10452 ZUEV, (14657) 1998 YU27, AND (15700) 1987 QD Gary A. Vander Haagen Stonegate Observatory, 825 Stonegate Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 [email protected] (Received: 28 October) Lightcurve observations and analysis revealed the following periods and amplitudes for three asteroids: 10452 Zuev, 9.724 ± 0.002 h, 0.38 ± 0.03 mag; (14657) 1998 YU27, 15.43 ± 0.03 h, 0.21 ± 0.05 mag; and (15700) 1987 QD, 9.71 ± 0.02 h, 0.16 ± 0.05 mag. Photometric data of three asteroids were collected using a 0.43- meter PlaneWave f/6.8 corrected Dall-Kirkham astrograph, a SBIG ST-10XME camera, and V-filter at Stonegate Observatory. The camera was binned 2x2 with a resulting image scale of 0.95 arc- seconds per pixel. Image exposures were 120 seconds at –15C. Candidates for analysis were selected using the MPO2011 Asteroid Viewing Guide and all photometric data were obtained and analyzed using MPO Canopus (Bdw Publishing, 2010). Published asteroid lightcurve data were reviewed in the Asteroid Lightcurve Database (LCDB; Warner et al., 2009). The magnitudes in the plots (Y-axis) are not sky (catalog) values but differentials from the average sky magnitude of the set of comparisons. The value in the Y-axis label, “alpha”, is the solar phase angle at the time of the first set of observations. All data were corrected to this phase angle using G = 0.15, unless otherwise stated.

    The International Development Research Centre is a public corporation created by the Parliament of Canada in 1970 to support research designed to adapt science and technology to the needs of developing countries. The Centre's activity is concentrated in five sectors: agriculture, food and nutrition sciences; health sciences; information sciences; communications; and social sciences. IDRC is financed solely by the Government of Canada; its policies, however, are set by an international Board of Governors. The Centre's headquarters are in Ottawa, Canada.

Not dark matter in form of elementary particles (all present day searches) but (self) bound dark matter. Either an ultra-compact impactor or/and condensation seed for comets.

Could some of them have collided with solar system bodies and the Earth? Are they dressed in visible matter from prior impacts and as condensation seeds? CUDOs’ high density of gravitating matter provides the distinct observable, the surface-penetrating puncture: shot through Only a fraction of the kinetic energy damaging the solid surface.

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.

Burbine Jr. Submitted to the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences on December 30, 1999 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Planetary Sciences ABSTRACT Near-infrared spectra (-0.90 to ~1.65 microns) were obtained for 196 main-belt and near-Earth asteroids to determine plausible meteorite parent bodies. These spectra, when coupled with previously obtained visible data, allow for a better determination of asteroid mineralogies. Over half of the observed objects have estimated diameters less than 20 k-m. Many important results were obtained concerning the compositional structure of the asteroid belt. A number of small objects near asteroid 4 Vesta were found to have near-infrared spectra similar to the eucrite and howardite meteorites, which are believed to be derived from Vesta.
