A Formula for the Rotation Periods of the Planets & Asteroids
نویسنده
چکیده
The note presents a formula for the prediction of the rotation periods of the planets and asteroids. This formula, which is like the Titius-Bode law, gives a good agreement with the rotation periods of most planets, shows that Venus is retrograde, and that there must be five objects between Mars and Jupiter. This formula may be of some relevance in understanding the dynamics of the early solar system.

Fraction of Contact Binary Trojan Asteroids
We present the results of an optical lightcurve survey of 114 Jovian Trojan asteroids conducted to determine the fraction of contact binaries. Sparse-sampling was used to assess the photometric range of the asteroids and those showing the largest ranges were targeted for detailed follow-up observations. This survey led to the discovery of two Trojan asteroids, (17365) and (29314) displaying lar...
متن کاملCCD photometry and new models of 5 minor planets
We present new R filtered CCD observations of 5 faint and moderately faint asteroids carried out between October, 1998 and January, 1999. The achieved accuracy is between 0.01–0.03 mag, depending mainly on the target brightness. The obtained sinodic periods and amplitudes: 683 Lanzia – 4. h6±0. 2, 0.13 mag; 725 Amanda – > 3. 0, ≥0.40 mag; 852 Wladilena – 4. h62±0. 01, 0.32 mag (December, 1998) ...
متن کاملAsteroids, Comets, and Planet Formation
The solar system includes numerous small objects, generally classifiable as asteroids, comets, or interplanetary dust. Asteroids and comets are of considerable importance in the study of the terrestrial planets. The impacts of these bodies with the planets have repeatedly reshaped the planets' surfaces, redistributed the surface materials and changed their chemistry and mineralogy. In addition,...
متن کاملRotation-Resolved Spectroscopy of a Very Young Asteroid, (1270) Datura
(1270) Datura is the largest member of a very young asteroid cluster that was thought to be broken-up 0.45 Myr ago. The light-curve and the rotationresolved reflectance spectra (0.6 μm – 1.0 μm) were observed in order to find “fresh” surface. Our data show no significant spectral variation along the rotation phase. The depth of the 0.95 μm absorption band, which indicates the degree of space we...
متن کاملA new universal formula for atoms, planets, and galaxies
In this paper a new universal formula about the rotation velocity distribution of atoms, planets, and galaxies is presented. It is based on a new general formula based on the relativistic Schwarzschild/Minkowski metric, where it has been possible to obtain expressions for the rotation velocity and mass distribution versus the distance to the atomic nucleus, planet system centre, and galactic ce...
