Simplified solution to determination of a binary orbit
Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We present a simplified solution to orbit determination of a binary system from astrometric observations. An exact solution was found by Asada, Akasaka and Kasai by assuming no observational errors. We extend the solution considering observational data. The generalized solution is expressed in terms of elementary functions, and therefore requires neither itera...
متن کاملThe Puzzling Mutual Orbit of the Binary Trojan Asteroid (624) Hektor
Asteroids with satellites are natural laboratories to constrain the formation and evolution of our solar system. The binary Trojan asteroid (624) Hektor is the only known Trojan asteroid to possess a small satellite. Based on W. M. Keck adaptive optics observations, we found a unique and stable orbital solution, which is uncommon in comparison to the orbits of other large multiple asteroid syst...
متن کاملDetermination of asteroid masses
The masses of the three largest asteroids: (1) Ceres, (2) Pallas and (4) Vesta were determined from gravitational perturbations exerted on respectively 25, 2, and 26 selected asteroids. These masses were calculated by means of the leastsquares method as weighted means of the values obtained separately from the perturbations on single asteroids. Special attention was paid to the selection of the...
متن کاملBayesian approach to inference of population structure
Methods of inferring the population structure, its applications in identifying disease models as well as foresighting the physical and mental situation of human beings have been finding ever-increasing importance. In this article, first, motivation and significance of studying the problem of population structure is explained. In the next section, the applications of inference of p...
متن کاملBinary Asteroid Orbit Expansion due to Continued YORP Spin-up of the Primary and Primary Surface Particle Motion
We examine the hypothesis that within any member of a significant class of close binary asteroid systems with super-synchronously rotating, roughly spheroidal primary and synchronous elongated secondary, continued YORP angular acceleration of the primary causes it to spin at rates where loose material near its equator is lofted from the surface. Subsequent interaction of the material with the s...
