Les Principaux Astres Du Système Solaire seconde 2009-2010 Les principaux astres du système solaire NB : les corps qui suivent n'étaient pas tous connus des astronomes de l'Antiquité, donc les noms latins et grecs ne sont que des transcriptions modernes. Les planètes et planètes naines sont mises en gras. La distance au Soleil n'est que la moyenne (demi-grand axe) entre l'aphélie et la périhélie ; exemple avec l'orbite de Sedna qui passe en 12 000 ans de 76,057 à 935,451 UA (demi-grand axe : 505,754 UA). Étant donné qu'au printemps 2009 l'Union astronomique internationale dénombrait plus de 450 000 astéroïdes dans notre système, tous ne sont pas présents ci-dessous...

E-mail: [email protected] (Received 18 February 2004; revision accepted 12 July 2004) Abstract–The newly discovered asteroid 2003 YN107 is currently a quasi-satellite of the Earth, making a satellite-like orbit of high inclination with apparent period of one year. The term quasi- satellite is used since these large orbits are not completely closed, but rather perturbed portions of the asteroid’s orbit around the Sun. Due to its extremely Earth-like orbit, this asteroid is influenced by Earth’s gravity to remain within 0.1 AU of the Earth for approximately 10 years (1997 to 2006). Prior to this, it had been on a horseshoe orbit closely following Earth’s orbit for several hundred years. It will re-enter such an orbit, and make one final libration of 123 years, after which it will have a close interaction with the Earth and transition to a circulating orbit.

  • CHORUS: Let's Go Meet the Dwarf Planets There Are Five in Our Solar
    Meet the Dwarf Planet Lyrics: CHORUS: Let’s go meet the dwarf planets There are five in our solar system Let’s go meet the dwarf planets Now I’ll go ahead and list them I’ll name them again in case you missed one There’s Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake and Haumea They haven’t broken free from all the space debris There’s Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake and Haumea They’re smaller than Earth’s moon and they like to roam free I’m the famous Pluto – as many of you know My orbit’s on a different path in the shape of an oval I used to be planet number 9, But I break the rules; I’m one of a kind I take my time orbiting the sun It’s a long, long trip, but I’m having fun! Five moons keep me company On our epic journey Charon’s the biggest, and then there’s Nix Kerberos, Hydra and the last one’s Styx 248 years we travel out Beyond the other planet’s regular rout We hang out in the Kuiper Belt Where the ice debris will never melt CHORUS My name is Ceres, and I’m closest to the sun They found me in the Asteroid Belt in 1801 I’m the only known dwarf planet between Jupiter and Mars They thought I was an asteroid, but I’m too round and large! I’m Eris the biggest dwarf planet, and the slowest one… It takes me 557 years to travel around the sun I have one moon, Dysnomia, to orbit along with me We go way out past the Kuiper Belt, there’s so much more to see! CHORUS My name is Makemake, and everyone thought I was alone But my tiny moon, MK2, has been with me all along It takes 310 years for us to orbit ‘round the sun But out here in the Kuiper Belt… our adventures just begun Hello my name’s Haumea, I’m not round shaped like my friends I rotate fast, every 4 hours, which stretched out both my ends! Namaka and Hi’iaka are my moons, I have just 2 And we live way out past Neptune in the Kuiper Belt it’s true! CHORUS Now you’ve met the dwarf planets, there are 5 of them it’s true But the Solar System is a great big place, with more exploring left to do Keep watching the skies above us with a telescope you look through Because the next person to discover one… could be me or you… .

  • Asteroid Strike! Near-Earth Asteroids
    Asteroid Attack! Asteroid Attack! asteroid 243 Ida A few years ago, astronomers discovered a mile-wide rock tumbling through space. At first, the scientists feared that the newly discovered space rock would plow into Earth on February 1, 2019. Scientists named the space rock NT7 and clocked its speed at 7 miles per second. The scientists thought the asteroid was heading straight for Earth! Asteroid Strike! A mile-wide asteroid could take out an entire continent, scientists say. Fearing the worst, scientists kept their eyes on NT7. They plotted its orbit, or path, around the sun. After watching NT7 for several weeks, scientists found out that NT7 would miss Earth on February 1, 2019. Near-Earth Asteroids ReadWorks.org Copyright © 2009 Weekly Reader Corporation. All rights reserved. Used by permission.Weekly Reader is a registered trademark of Weekly Reader Corporation. Asteroid Attack! Most asteroids orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter. NT7, however, is a near-Earth asteroid. Near-Earth asteroids orbit the sun close to Earth. NT7 orbits the sun once every 837 days. Its orbit sometimes takes NT7 as far from the sun as Mars. At other times, it is within Earth's orbit. Scientists know about nearly 350 near-Earth asteroids. They carefully map the orbits of those asteroids to make sure the asteroids don't come too close to our planet. Scientists say anywhere from 500 to 1,000 near-Earth asteroids are yet to be discovered. Scientists are searching the sky for them. They want to have plenty of warning if one comes too close.

  • Dynamical Evolution of the Cybele Asteroids

Received 2015 May 1; in original form 2015 April 1 ABSTRACT The Cybele region, located between the 2J:-1A and 5J:-3A mean-motion resonances, is ad- jacent and exterior to the asteroid main belt. An increasing density of three-body resonances makes the region between the Cybele and Hilda populations dynamically unstable, so that the Cybele zone could be considered the last outpost of an extended main belt. The presence of binary asteroids with large primaries and small secondaries suggested that asteroid families should be found in this region, but only relatively recently the first dynamical groups were identified in this area. Among these, the Sylvia group has been proposed to be one of the oldest families in the extended main belt. In this work we identify families in the Cybele region in the context of the local dynamics and non-gravitational forces such as the Yarkovsky and stochastic Yarkovsky–O’Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack (YORP) effects. We confirm the detec- tion of the new Helga group at 3.65 au, which could extend the outer boundary of the Cybele region up to the 5J:-3A mean-motion resonance.

Back Cover ON THE COVER: Steve Preston posted a prediction for the occultation of a 10.8-magnitude star in Orion, about 3° from Betelgeuse, by the asteroid (238) Hypatia, which had an expected diameter of 148 km. The predicted path passed over the San Francisco Bay area, and that turned out to be quite accurate, with only a small shift towards the north, enough to leave Richard Nolthenius, observing visually from the coast northwest of Santa Cruz, to have a miss. But farther north, three other observers video recorded the occultation from their homes, and they were fortuitously located to define three well- spaced chords across the asteroid to accurately measure its shape and location relative to the star, as shown in the figure. The dashed lines show the axes of the fitted ellipse, produced by Dave Herald’s WinOccult program. This demonstrates the good results that can be obtained by a few dedicated observers with a relatively faint star; a bright star and/or many observers are not always necessary to obtain solid useful observations. – David Dunham Publication Date for this issue: July 2005 Please note: The date shown on the cover is for subscription purposes only and does not reflect the actual publication date.
