Asteroid models from generalised projections: Essential facts for asteroid modellers and geometric inverse problem solvers
arXiv:2005.09947
Abstract
We present a review of the problem of asteroid shape and spin reconstruction from generalised projections; i.e., from lightcurves, disk-resolved images, occultation silhouettes, radar range-Doppler data, and interferometry. The aim of this text is to summarize all important mathematical facts and proofs related to this inverse problem, to describe their implications to observers and modellers, and to provide the reader with all relevant references.
