  • 174 Minor Planet Bulletin 47 (2020) DETERMINING the ROTATIONAL
    174 DETERMINING THE ROTATIONAL PERIODS AND LIGHTCURVES OF MAIN BELT ASTEROIDS Shandi Groezinger Kent Montgomery Texas A&M University-Commerce P.O. Box 3011 Commerce, TX 75429-3011 Kent.Montgomery@tamuc.edu (Received: 2020 Feb 21 Revised: 2020 March 20) Lightcurves and rotational periods are presented for six main-belt asteroids. The rotational periods determined are 970 Primula (2.777 ± 0.001 h), 1103 Sequoia (3.1125 ± 0.0004 h), 1160 Illyria (4.103 ± 0.002 h), 1188 Gothlandia (3.52 ± 0.05 h), 1831 Nicholson (3.215 ± 0.004 h) and (11230) 1999 JV57 (7.090 ± 0.003 h). The purpose of this research was to create lightcurves and determine the rotational periods of six asteroids: 970 Primula, 1103 Sequoia, 1160 Illyria, 1188 Gothlandia, 1831 Nicholson and (11230) 1999 JV57. Asteroids were selected for this study from a website that catalogues all known asteroids (CALL). For an asteroid to be chosen in this study, it has to meet the requirements of brightness, declination, and opposition date. For optimum signal to noise ratio (SNR), asteroids of apparent magnitude of 16 or lower were chosen. Asteroids with positive declinations were chosen due to using telescopes located in the northern hemisphere. The data for all the asteroids was typically taken within two weeks from their opposition dates. This would ensure a maximum number of images each night. Asteroid 970 Primula was discovered by Reinmuth, K. at Heidelberg in 1921. This asteroid has an orbital eccentricity of 0.2715 and a semi-major axis of 2.5599 AU (JPL). Asteroid 1103 Sequoia was discovered in 1928 by Baade, W.

  • ESO's VLT Sphere and DAMIT
    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). Magnitude drop of 0.24 will require video. DAMIT asteroid model of 10 Hygiea - Astronomy Institute of the Charles University: Josef Ďurech, Vojtěch Sidorin Hygiea is the fourth-largest asteroid (largest is Ceres ~ 945kms) in the Solar System by volume and mass, and it is located in the asteroid belt about 400 million kms away.

    Vision Statement The Space Science Institute is a thriving center of talented, entrepreneurial scientists, educators, and other professionals who make outstanding contributions to humankind’s understanding and appreciation of planet Earth, the Solar System, the galaxy, and beyond. 2 | Space Science Institute | Annual Report 2005 From Our Director Excite. Explore. Discover. These words aptly describe what we do in the research realm as well as in education. In fact, they defi ne the essence of our mission. Our mission is facilitated by a unique blend of on- and off-site researchers coupled with an extensive portfolio of education and public outreach (EPO) projects. This past year has seen SSI grow from $4.1M to over $4.3M in grants, an increase of nearly 6%. We now have over fi fty full and part-time staff. SSI’s support comes mostly from NASA and the National Sci- ence Foundation. Our Board of Directors now numbers eight. Their guidance and vision—along with that of senior management—have created an environment that continues to draw world-class scientists to the Institute and allows us to develop educa- tion and outreach programs that benefi t millions of people worldwide. SSI has a robust scientifi c research program that includes robotic missions such as the Mars Exploration Rovers, fl ight missions such as Cassini and the Spitzer Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and ground-based programs. Dr. Tom McCord joined the Institute in 2005 as a Senior Research Scientist. He directs the Bear Fight Center, a 3,000 square-foot research and meeting facility in Washington state.

    THE MINOR PLANET BULLETIN OF THE MINOR PLANETS SECTION OF THE BULLETIN ASSOCIATION OF LUNAR AND PLANETARY OBSERVERS VOLUME 44, NUMBER 2, A.D. 2017 APRIL-JUNE 87. 319 LEONA AND 341 CALIFORNIA – Lightcurves from all sessions are then composited with no TWO VERY SLOWLY ROTATING ASTEROIDS adjustment of instrumental magnitudes. A search should be made for possible tumbling behavior. This is revealed whenever Frederick Pilcher successive rotational cycles show significant variation, and Organ Mesa Observatory (G50) quantified with simultaneous 2 period software. In addition, it is 4438 Organ Mesa Loop useful to obtain a small number of all-night sessions for each Las Cruces, NM 88011 USA object near opposition to look for possible small amplitude short fpilcher35@gmail.com period variations. Lorenzo Franco Observations to obtain the data used in this paper were made at the Balzaretto Observatory (A81) Organ Mesa Observatory with a 0.35-meter Meade LX200 GPS Rome, ITALY Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) and SBIG STL-1001E CCD. Exposures were 60 seconds, unguided, with a clear filter. All Petr Pravec measurements were calibrated from CMC15 r’ values to Cousins Astronomical Institute R magnitudes for solar colored field stars. Photometric Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic measurement is with MPO Canopus software. To reduce the Fricova 1, CZ-25165 number of points on the lightcurves and make them easier to read, Ondrejov, CZECH REPUBLIC data points on all lightcurves constructed with MPO Canopus software have been binned in sets of 3 with a maximum time (Received: 2016 Dec 20) difference of 5 minutes between points in each bin.
