MBAs of such sizes are generally not access- ible to ground-based observations. Therefore, when NEAs approach the Earth (at distances which can be as small as 0.01-0.02 AU and sometimes less) they give a unique chance to study objects of such small sizes. Some of them possibly represent primordial matter, which has preserved a record of the earliest stages of the Solar System evolution, while the majority are fragments coming from catastrophic collisions that occurred in the asteroid main- belt and could provide “a look” at the interior of their much larger parent bodies. Therefore, NEAs are objects of special interest for sev- eral reasons. First, from the point of view of fundamental science, the problems raised by their origin in planet- crossing orbits, their life-time, their possible genetic relations with comets and meteorites, etc. are closely connected with the solution of the major problem of “We are now on the threshold of a new era of asteroid planetary science of the origin and evolution of the Solar studies” System.

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.

These datasets were compiled from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s (JPL) Small-Body Database (SBDB) and NASA’s Planetary Data Service (PDS). These datasets provide insights into the characteristics, classifications, and abundance of small-bodies in the solar system, as well as their relationships to more prominent bodies. OpenSpace: Datasets for Asteroids and Comets 2 Part 1: Visualization Settings To load the Asteroids scene in OpenSpace, load the OpenSpace Launcher and select “asteroids” from the drop-down menu for “Scene.” Then launch OpenSpace normally. The Asteroids package is a big dataset, so it can take a few hours to load the first time even on very powerful machines and good internet connections. After a couple of times opening the program with this scene, it should take less time. If you are having trouble loading the scene, check the OpenSpace Wiki or the OpenSpace Support Slack for information and assistance.

Fornasier1,2, C. Lantz1,2, M.A. Barucci1, M. Lazzarin3 Abstract This work focuses on the study of the aqueous alteration process which acted in the main belt and produced hydrated minerals on the altered asteroids. Hydrated minerals have been found mainly on Mars surface, on main belt primitive asteroids and possibly also on few TNOs. These materials have been produced by hydration of pristine anhydrous silicates during the aqueous alteration process, that, to be active, needed the presence of liquid water under low temperature conditions (below 320 K) to chemically alter the minerals.

  • 76 Minor Planet Bulletin 45 (2018) TWENTY-ONE ASTEROID LIGHTCURVES at ASTEROIDS OBSERVERS (OBAS)
    76 TWENTY-ONE ASTEROID LIGHTCURVES needed confirmation. All the targets were selected from the AT ASTEROIDS OBSERVERS (OBAS) - MPPD: Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve (CALL) website at NOV 2016 - MAY 2017 http://www.minorplanet.info/call.html, paying special attention to keeping the asteroid’s magnitude within reach of the telescopes Vicente Mas, G. Fornas being used. We tried to observe asteroids at a phase angle of less CAAT, Centro Astronómico del Alto Turia, SPAIN than 14°, but this was not always possible. [email protected] Images were measured using MPO Canopus (Bdw Publishing) Juan Lozano with a differential photometry technique. For more information Elche Observatory, Alicante, SPAIN about methods and techniques used, see Aznar Macias et al. (2015). Table II lists the individual results along with the range of Onofre Rodrigo dates for the observations and the number of nights that Bétera Observatory, Valencia, SPAIN observations were made. A.

ASTEROID LIGHTCURVE ANALYSIS AT SCT/ST-9E, or 0.35m SCT/STL-1001E. Depending on the THE PALMER DIVIDE OBSERVATORY: binning used, the scale for the images ranged from 1.2-2.5 DECEMBER 2007 – MARCH 2008 arcseconds/pixel. Exposure times were 90–240 s. Most observations were made with no filter. On occasion, e.g., when a Brian D. Warner nearly full moon was present, an R filter was used to decrease the Palmer Divide Observatory/Space Science Institute sky background noise. Guiding was used in almost all cases. 17995 Bakers Farm Rd., Colorado Springs, CO 80908 [email protected] All images were measured using MPO Canopus, which employs differential aperture photometry to determine the values used for (Received: 6 March) analysis. Period analysis was also done using MPO Canopus, which incorporates the Fourier analysis algorithm developed by Harris (1989). Lightcurves for 17 asteroids were obtained at the Palmer Divide Observatory from December 2007 to early The results are summarized in the table below, as are individual March 2008: 793 Arizona, 1092 Lilium, 2093 plots. The data and curves are presented without comment except Genichesk, 3086 Kalbaugh, 4859 Fraknoi, 5806 when warranted.
