Polarimetric survey of main-belt asteroids⋆
Aims. We present the first results of a polarimetric survey of main-belt asteroids at Complejo Astronómico El Leoncito (Casleo), San Juan, Argentina. The aims of this survey are to increase the database of asteroid polarimetry, to estimate diversity in polarimetric properties of asteroids that belong to different taxonomic classes, and to search for objects that exhibit anomalous polarimetric p...
متن کاملActive Asteroids: Mystery in the Main Belt
Classically, comets from the outer solar system (beyond the orbit of Neptune), are expected to be icy, and thus active near the Sun, while asteroids in the inner solar system (interior to the orbit of Jupiter) are expected to be relatively ice-deficient, and thus inert. Studies of anomalous objects, most recently 133P/Elst-Pizarro, challenge this classical picture, however, and suggest that eit...
متن کاملDetection of the Yarkovsky effect for main-belt asteroids
The Yarkovsky effect, a non-gravitational acceleration produced by the anisotropic emission of thermal energy (Öpik, 1951, Proc. Roy. Irish Acad. 54, 165–199), plays an important role in the dynamical evolution of asteroids. Current theoretical models of the Yarkovsky effect, however, rely on a number of poorly known parameters that can only approximate how real asteroids respond to solar heati...
متن کاملThe Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distributions of Main Belt Asteroids
We have developed a model-independent analytical method for debiasing the fourdimensional (a, e, i,H) distribution obtained in any asteroid observation program and have applied the technique to results obtained with the 0.9m Spacewatch Telescope. From 1992 to 1995 Spacewatch observed ∼ 3740 deg2 near the ecliptic and made observations of more than 60,000 asteroids to a limiting magnitude of V∼2...
متن کاملISO results on bright Main Belt asteroids: PHT–S observations
Observations of asteroids have been performed by the ISO satellite with PHT–S. The aim of these observations was to investigate the physical and compositional properties of five bright Main Belt Asteroids (1 Ceres, 2 Pallas, 3 Juno, 4 Vesta, and 52 Europa) in the spectral range 5.8–11.6 μm. The Standard Thermal Model and a black-body fit have been applied to the obtained spectra to derive sub-s...
