    ESO’s VLT Sphere and DAMIT ESO’s VLT SPHERE (using adaptive optics) and Joseph Durech (DAMIT) have a program to observe asteroids and collect light curve data to develop rotating 3D models with respect to time. Up till now, due to the limitations of modelling software, only convex profiles were produced. The aim is to reconstruct reliable nonconvex models of about 40 asteroids. Below is a list of targets that will be observed by SPHERE, for which detailed nonconvex shapes will be constructed. Special request by Joseph Durech: “If some of these asteroids have in next let's say two years some favourable occultations, it would be nice to combine the occultation chords with AO and light curves to improve the models.” 2 Pallas, 7 Iris, 8 Flora, 10 Hygiea, 11 Parthenope, 13 Egeria, 15 Eunomia, 16 Psyche, 18 Melpomene, 19 Fortuna, 20 Massalia, 22 Kalliope, 24 Themis, 29 Amphitrite, 31 Euphrosyne, 40 Harmonia, 41 Daphne, 51 Nemausa, 52 Europa, 59 Elpis, 65 Cybele, 87 Sylvia, 88 Thisbe, 89 Julia, 96 Aegle, 105 Artemis, 128 Nemesis, 145 Adeona, 187 Lamberta, 211 Isolda, 324 Bamberga, 354 Eleonora, 451 Patientia, 476 Hedwig, 511 Davida, 532 Herculina, 596 Scheila, 704 Interamnia Occultation Event: Asteroid 10 Hygiea – Sun 26th Feb 16h37m UT The magnitude 11 asteroid 10 Hygiea is expected to occult the magnitude 12.5 star 2UCAC 21608371 on Sunday 26th Feb 16h37m UT (= Mon 3:37am).

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.

  • On the Accuracy of Restricted Three-Body Models for the Trojan Motion
    DISCRETE AND CONTINUOUS Website: http://AIMsciences.org DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS Volume 11, Number 4, December 2004 pp. 843{854 ON THE ACCURACY OF RESTRICTED THREE-BODY MODELS FOR THE TROJAN MOTION Frederic Gabern1, Angel` Jorba1 and Philippe Robutel2 Departament de Matem`aticaAplicada i An`alisi Universitat de Barcelona Gran Via 585, 08007 Barcelona, Spain1 Astronomie et Syst`emesDynamiques IMCCE-Observatoire de Paris 77 Av. Denfert-Rochereau, 75014 Paris, France2 Abstract. In this note we compare the frequencies of the motion of the Trojan asteroids in the Restricted Three-Body Problem (RTBP), the Elliptic Restricted Three-Body Problem (ERTBP) and the Outer Solar System (OSS) model. The RTBP and ERTBP are well-known academic models for the motion of these asteroids, and the OSS is the standard model used for realistic simulations. Our results are based on a systematic frequency analysis of the motion of these asteroids. The main conclusion is that both the RTBP and ERTBP are not very accurate models for the long-term dynamics, although the level of accuracy strongly depends on the selected asteroid. 1. Introduction. The Restricted Three-Body Problem models the motion of a particle under the gravitational attraction of two point masses following a (Keple- rian) solution of the two-body problem (a general reference is [17]). The goal of this note is to discuss the degree of accuracy of such a model to study the real motion of an asteroid moving near the Lagrangian points of the Sun-Jupiter system. To this end, we have considered two restricted three-body problems, namely: i) the Circular RTBP, in which Sun and Jupiter describe a circular orbit around their centre of mass, and ii) the Elliptic RTBP, in which Sun and Jupiter move on an elliptic orbit.

The model is reproduced from its two stellar occultation observations and six lightcurves between 1969 and 2011. The first stellar occultation was the occultation of TYC 234500183 on 1996 De- cember 17 observed from 13 sites in the USA. An elliptical cross section of (344.6 ± 9.6 km) × (306.2 ± 9.1 km), for position angle P = 73.4 ± 12.5˚ was fitted. The lightcurve around the occulta- tion shows that the peak-to-peak amplitude was 0.04 mag. and the occultation phase was just be- fore the minimum.

  • Observations from Orbiting Platforms 219
    Dotto et al.: Observations from Orbiting Platforms 219 Observations from Orbiting Platforms E. Dotto Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica Osservatorio Astronomico di Torino M. A. Barucci Observatoire de Paris T. G. Müller Max-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik and ISO Data Centre A. D. Storrs Towson University P. Tanga Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica Osservatorio Astronomico di Torino and Observatoire de Nice Orbiting platforms provide the opportunity to observe asteroids without limitation by Earth’s atmosphere. Several Earth-orbiting observatories have been successfully operated in the last decade, obtaining unique results on asteroid physical properties. These include the high-resolu- tion mapping of the surface of 4 Vesta and the first spectra of asteroids in the far-infrared wave- length range. In the near future other space platforms and orbiting observatories are planned. Some of them are particularly promising for asteroid science and should considerably improve our knowledge of the dynamical and physical properties of asteroids. 1. INTRODUCTION 1800 asteroids. The results have been widely presented and discussed in the IRAS Minor Planet Survey (Tedesco et al., In the last few decades the use of space platforms has 1992) and the Supplemental IRAS Minor Planet Survey opened up new frontiers in the study of physical properties (Tedesco et al., 2002). This survey has been very important of asteroids by overcoming the limits imposed by Earth’s in the new assessment of the asteroid population: The aster- atmosphere and taking advantage of the use of new tech- oid taxonomy by Barucci et al. (1987), its recent extension nologies. (Fulchignoni et al., 2000), and an extended study of the size Earth-orbiting satellites have the advantage of observing distribution of main-belt asteroids (Cellino et al., 1991) are out of the terrestrial atmosphere; this allows them to be in just a few examples of the impact factor of this survey.

These observations were carried out using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope and cover the wavelength range 200{550 nm at low resolution. The targets include objects from both of the Trojan color sub- populations (less-red and red). We do not observe any discernible absorption features in these spectra. Comparisons of the averaged UV spectra of less-red and red targets show that the subpopulations are spectrally distinct in the UV. Less-red objects display a steep UV slope and a rollover at around 450 nm to a shallower visible slope, whereas red objects show the opposite trend. Laboratory spectra of irradiated ices with and without H2S exhibit distinct UV absorption features; consequently, the featureless spectra observed here suggest H2S alone is not responsible for the observed color bimodal- ity of Trojans, as has been previously hypothesized. We propose some possible explanations for the observed UV-visible spectra, including complex organics, space weathering of iron-bearing silicates, and masked features due to previous cometary activity.

    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.
