Studies into the rotational history of the minor planets

Hollis, Andrew JohnThe Open University1996

Three aspects of the rotational history of the minor planets are considered - taxonomy, mathematical modelling and observation. Following an introductory review of the basic characteristics and formation, the classification of asteroids is critically assessed and a new scheme based on the spectral …

Minor planet astrophotometry

Williams, Gareth VaughanThe Open University2013

Historically, the Minor Planet Center (MPC) has concentrated on improving the quality of the astrometric observations and the resulting orbits of minor planets. In light of long-standing complaints in the literature about the quality of the photometric parameters for the minor planets, there has …

Revealing Refractory Materials on Trans-Neptunian Objects and Centaurs via Reflectance Spectroscopy

Seccull, ThomasQueen's University Belfast2020

… Telescope. The reflectance spectra of these minor planets were investigated to determine whether silicates and refractory organics, which are predicted to be present on their surfaces, could be directly detected via the presence of their characteristic absorption bands. Most of the objects …
