    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 [email protected] 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.

A consortium of observers found a synodic rotation period near 2.706 hours and amplitude increasing from 0.08 ±0.02 magnitudes at phase angle 20 degrees to 0.18 ±0.03 magnitudes at phase angle 87 degrees, with 3 unequal maxima and minima per cycle. Magnitude parameters H = 14.10 ±0.04 and G = 0.08 ±0.02 are found, and the color index V-R = 0.42 ±0.07.

Humphries Received: 31 March 2017 / Accepted: 13 July 2017 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2017 Abstract This data paper presents lightcurves of 101 near Earth asteroids (NEAs) observed mostly between 2014 and 2017 as part of the EURONEAR photometric survey using 11 telescopes with diameters between 0.4 and 4.2 m located in Spain, Chile, Slo- vakia and Romania. Most targets had no published data at the time of observing, but some objects were observed in the same period mainly by B. Warner, allowing us to confirm or improve the existing results. To plan the runs and select the targets, we developed the public Long Planning tool in PHP. For preliminary data reduction and rapid follow-up planning we developed the LiDAS pipeline in Python and IRAF. For final data reduction, flux calibration, night linkage and Fourier fitting, we used mainly MPO Canopus.

  • FINAL REPORT NASA Grant NAGW-3044 Observations of Spacecraft Targets, Unusual Asteroids, and Targets of Opportunity David J
    FINAL REPORT NASA Grant NAGW-3044 Observations of Spacecraft Targets, Unusual Asteroids, and Targets of Opportunity David J. Tholen, P.I. Dates 1992 April 1 to 1998 March 31 Location University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy 2680 Woodlawn Drive Honolulu, HI 96822 Goals Obtain physical and astrometric observations of (a) spacecraft targets to support mission operations, (b) known asteroids with unusual orbits to help determine their origin, and (c) newly discovered minor planets (including both asteroids and comets) that represent a particular opportunity to add significant new knowledge of the Solar System. Observations and Data Analysis Priority was given to the acquisition and analysis of observations of spacecraft targets, including (951) Gaspra and (243) Ida, both flyby targets of the Galileo spacecraft, (1620) Geographos, a flyby target for the Clementine spacecraft, (253) Mathilde and (433) Eros, both targets of the NEAR spacecraft, (4660) Nereus, a target for both the MUSES-C and NEAP missions, P/Wild 2, a target for the Stardust mission, and P/Wirtanen, a target for the Rosetta mission. Although the observations of Gaspra were obtained under an earlier grant, the analysis and publication of those data continued under this grant. Observations of Ida included both lightcurve data that were combined with similar data obtained by others to develop a pre-encounter shape and spin axis orientation model, thermal infrared data to determined a radiometric size and geometric albedo for the asteroid, and astrometry to assist with the spacecraft navigation effort, which had been compromised by the high-gain antenna problem. Although Clementine did not succeed in getting to Geographos, a wealth of new ground-based lightcurve observations, including some obtained with support from this grant, were used to develop a shape and spin model for the asteroid, comparable to the one done for Ida.

Constraining the surface composition of small bodies provides us with the ingredients and proportions for this cosmic recipe.

Cristescu3 1 Institut de Mécanique Céleste et de Calcul des Éphémérides (IMCCE) CNRS-UMR8028, Observatoire de Paris, 77 avenue Denfert-Rochereau, 75014 Paris Cedex, France 2 Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy, 5 Cu¸titul de Argint, 040557 Bucharest, Romania 3 Department of Physics, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania June 28, 2021 ABSTRACT Context. The Taurid Complex is a massive stream of material in the inner part of the Solar System. It contains objects spanning the range of 10−6–103m, considered by some authors to have a common cometary origin. The asteroids belonging to Taurid Complex are on Apollo type orbit, with most of them being flagged as potentially hazardous asteroids. In this context, understanding the nature and the origin of this asteroidal population is not only of scientific interest but also of practical importance. Aims. We aim to investigate the surface mineralogy of the asteroids associated with Taurid Complex using visible and near-infrared spectral data. Compositional linking between these asteroids and meteorites can be derived based on the obtained spectra. Methods. We obtained spectra of six of the largest asteroids (2201, 4183, 4486, 5143, 6063, and 269690) associated with Taurid complex. The observations were made with the IRTF telescope equipped with the spectro-imager SpeX. Their taxonomic classifi- cation is made using Bus-DeMeo taxonomy. The asteroid spectra are compared with the meteorite spectra from the Relab database.

  • Solar Radiation and Near-Earth Asteroids: Thermophysical Modeling and New Measurements of the Yarkovsky Effect
    University of California Los Angeles Solar Radiation and Near-Earth Asteroids: Thermophysical Modeling and New Measurements of the Yarkovsky Effect A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Geophysics and Space Physics by Carolyn Rosemary Nugent 2013 c Copyright by Carolyn Rosemary Nugent 2013 Abstract of the Dissertation Solar Radiation and Near-Earth Asteroids: Thermophysical Modeling and New Measurements of the Yarkovsky Effect by Carolyn Rosemary Nugent Doctor of Philosophy in Geophysics and Space Physics University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Jean-Luc Margot, Chair This dissertation examines the influence of solar radiation on near-Earth asteroids (NEAs); it investigates thermal properties and examines changes to orbits caused by the process of anisotropic re-radiation of sunlight called the Yarkovsky effect. For the first portion of this dissertation, we used geometric albedos (pV ) and diameters derived from the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), as well as geometric albedos and diameters from the literature, to produce more accurate diurnal Yarkovsky drift predic- tions for 540 NEAs out of the current sample of ∼ 8800 known objects. These predictions are intended to assist observers, and should enable future Yarkovsky detections. The second portion of this dissertation introduces a new method for detecting the Yarkovsky drift. We identified and quantified semi-major axis drifts in NEAs by performing orbital fits to optical and radar astrometry of all numbered NEAs. We discuss on a subset of 54 NEAs that exhibit some of the most reliable and strongest drift rates. Our selection criteria include a Yarkovsky sensitivity metric that quantifies the detectability of semi-major axis drift in any given data set, a signal-to-noise metric, and orbital coverage requirements.
