The Asteroid Ephemeris 1900 to 2050

Product Information

Other reference frames developed relative to the ICRF in Horizons include: Earth true equator and equinox of date (TOD)

Note that the four major asteroids, included in the monthly ephemerides above for the year 2024, are Ceres, Juno, Vesta, and Pallas. Also added are Eros, Sappho, Psyche, and Chiron. This was a custom ephemeris built using the excellent and highly recommended software program, Sirius 3.0. Tools for Greater Understanding & Fulfillment OSIRIS-REx Team ( 2019).

Classical and modern orbit determination for asteroids. Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2004( IAUC196), 293– 303. Consider an asteroid in principal-axis rotation. We denote the asteroid’s rotation period by P, the pole orientation in ecliptic longitude and latitude by ( λ, β) T (J2000.0, T stands for transpose), and the rotational phase at a given epoch t 0 by φ 0. As to the asteroid’s shape, in the inverse problem, we consider both ellipsoidal shapes and general convex shapes. In the forward problem, we incorporate star-like shapes described by the Gaussian-random-sphere geometry. What’s an astrological ephemeris? It’s a collection of tables that list planetary movement. Astrologers use an ephemeris to view the positions of planets, asteroids, and other cosmic bodies at any given time: past, present, and future.

Consequently, photometric lightcurves provide immediate information about the rotation period. Historically, asteroid lightcurve observations have been the first tool intensively applied to derive physical properties of these objects. In addition to the retrieval of the rotation period, lightcurve amplitudes have been used to derive rough characteristics of the shape (elongated shapes generally producing lightcurves with larger amplitudes) and, when lightcurves obtained at different apparitions were available, to derive estimates of the direction of the asteroid’s pole orientation ( Taylor, 1979; Magnusson et al., 1989; Kaasalainen et al., 2002; Durech et al., 2015). Some early statistical analyses of lightcurve amplitudes and periods led also to the discovery of the existence of equilibrium shapes among large asteroids ( Farinella et al., 1981), and opened the way to the discovery of the importance of the general phenomenon of asteroid collisional evolution ( Farinella et al., 1982).terrestrial frames used with maps and GPS to specify surface locations.

Since the composition and structure determine also the reflectance properties observed at different wavelengths, phase curves are strictly related to the taxonomic classification of asteroids. Phase curves are often represented with the help of a few parameters. The classical two-parameter H, G magnitude system has been used for a long time ( Bowell et al., 1989). H is the asteroid’s absolute magnitude, namely the magnitude (corresponding to unit distance from the Sun and the observer) measured at zero phase angle, and G is a parameter describing the overall variation of magnitude at different phase angles, including a nonlinear brightness surge at phase angles smaller than 10° (opposition effect). In recent years, it has been replaced by the so-called H, G 1, G 2 magnitude system, a three-parameter model developed by Muinonen et al. (2010) to remove the caveats of the H, G system in the case of low-albedo and high-albedo asteroids. Further refinements and applications of the H, G 1, G 2 system have been published, among others, by Penttilä et al. (2016) and Shevchenko et al. (2016). The lower middle table shows the lunar sign ingresses (or Moon sign changes). Note that these are separate from planetary ingresses due to the frequency that the Moon changes signs (approximately every 2.5 days!). The void Moon times are also displayed. The ephemerides above show the daily positions, month to month in the year 2009, of the four major asteroids, Chiron, and the minor asteroids Eros, Psyche, and Sappho. Leonard, J. ( 2020).
