The Short Rotation Period of Nereid
We determine the period, p = 11.52± 0.14 h, and a light curve peak-to-peak amplitude, a = 0.029 ± 0.003 magnitudes, of the Neptunian irregular satellite Nereid. If the light curve variation is due to albedo variations across the surface, rather than solely to the shape of Nereid variations, the rotation period would be a factor of two shorter. In either case, such a rotation period and light cu...
متن کاملOn the Rotation Period of (90377) Sedna
We present precise, ∼ 1%, r-band relative photometry of the unusual solar system object (90377) Sedna. Our data consist of 143 data points taken over eight nights in October 2004 and January 2005. The RMS variability over the longest contiguous stretch of five nights of data spanning nine days is only ∼ 1.3%. This subset of data alone constrain the amplitude of any long-period variations with p...
متن کاملStudy on Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii) as a Short Rotation Forestry in the North of Iran
Forests of Iran located on the Southern border of the Caspian Sea cover 1.9 million hectares. The Caspian forests are divided into four separate forestry areas. One of these being Guilan influx area with total area of 565000 hectares. About 30 to 40 percent of Guilan province forests are suitable to short rotation forestry for afforestation. Slash pine (Pinus elliottii) is one of the main exo...
متن کاملDetection of water ice on Nereid.
We report the detection of the 1.5 and 2.0 micrometers absorption bands of water ice in the near-infrared reflection spectrum of Neptune's distant irregular satellite Nereid. The spectrum and albedo of Nereid appear intermediate between those of the Uranian satellites Umbriel and Oberon, suggesting a surface composed of a combination of water ice frost and a dark and spectrally neutral material...
